    Krylon Rust Tough for frame, suspension, etc?

    Thanks Pegasis. I too am from SW Ohio; the product site shows no places within 50 miles of me. Is there a supplier that you would recommend? Also - do you use their exact steps: ie: Marine Clean degreaser, then Prep & Ready, then Rust Preventative Paint, THEN topcoat? Or do you use a topcoat at...

    Krylon Rust Tough for frame, suspension, etc?

    Greetings, Working on my new (to me) 100, and I want to clean up the rust on the frame. My thoughts are simply wire brush well & put Krylon Rust Tough on it. I think it's better than nothing, but am I correct? Does the stuff really inhibit rust like it claims to? I don't mind doing it every...

    Going to California, after the front differential is fixed

    I did nothing but drive it home after I bought it. All told we drove about 100 or 150 miles in it. It was not off the pavement at all. I had taken it for a test drive about a month prior. Drove it about 15 miles, went in a parking lot, tested the transfer case and differential lock engagement...

    Going to California, after the front differential is fixed

    Okay, I think I'm getting it. I initially understood (i think incorrectly) that I have to replace the differential anyway AND THE LOCKER UNIT IS SEPARATE. That's wrong isn't it? By putting in the ARB, it IS replacing the differential WHILE ADDING LOCKING CAPABILITY. Do I now understand...

    Going to California, after the front differential is fixed

    Ok - help me understand this; I'm a rookie with this stuff. How would installing the ARB locker make it stronger if it's not being used? From the reading I've done, I thought the locker made it "stronger" only when engaged? I'm reading threads, etc, but I still don't get it. We're pretty sure...

    Going to California, after the front differential is fixed

    Greetings, Per my previous post, I just picked up a Year-2000 100 with 98k on it and the front differential blew in about 150 miles. Man, does it suck to have a new-used LC in good condition waiting around to get fixed. This is likely to be the vehicle that my son & I will take take to...

    Excited! Bought a 100, and blew the front diff in 200 miles. : (

    Hello folks, Wanted to post q quick intro; just picked up the 2000 LC with 98k miles yesterday. Unfortunately today, the front diff blew. I don't have to for the long post right now, but will discuss later. It's on the rack & mechanic says around $1200. Good time to baseline it also...

    100 series reliability vs well maintained 80 series

    Mcgaskins - my apologies for posting but not answering your question. I own an 80 currently with 172k miles on it. It has been one of the most incredible, most capable vehicles I've ever owned. I baselined it at about 120k miles and have been fortunate to not have a HG failure yet. I'm...

    100 series reliability vs well maintained 80 series

    :eek::eek:you have an 80 and THREE 100's??:eek::eek: We just picked up a 100 & are debating selling the 80. I feel like having 2 LC's is a little over-the-top (I only feel that way - I'm not saying it is) but FOUR?? Lol. Makes me feel a little better about my feelings of keeping the 80 &...

    80 owner, looking at a 100

    **please note: this is a copy & paste from the 80 forum: 80 owner, considering 100. Talk to me. Hello again guys. I posted last week about considering a 4runner. I have a 96 LC and am looking to replace it. If you haven't read that previous post from me, I want to stress that I love this...

    Love my LC, but what about the 4Runner?

    Hello folks, LONG time no post. My '96 LC has been probably the most capable vehicle I've ever owned. However, after 172k miles, it's having more & more things go wrong with it: metal lines rusting through underneath (rear heat, Power Steering line); bolts breaking off when trying to remove...

    Land Rover Series II

    unknown; I looked at it abt 2 yrs ago & was amazed at it's condition (considered being barned for 30+ years). Based on that plus low miles (around 40k?) I guess (ONLY a guess) frame is ok, but would certainly look at it first.

    Land Rover Series II

    I figured with the catchy title, I might get attention, but hear me out. I'd like your opinions on this; it's been bugging me. I have an unlocked '96 LC & love it immensely. However, I really like the old LR's too, as do a lot of LC owners. There's an old fellow (wealthy beyond belief) who has a...

    Building a Stock Cruiser for Alaska Trip

    I like that you're bringing Air Supply. That's a great band. "I'm all out of love . . .. I'm so lost withOUT you . . .. ." Anyone under, say 36 years old probably won't get that.

    Mercedes ML capable? What's it's 4WD system?

    Hello again, was talking with someone today who loved my 96 LC. He has a '98 ML 320 & really likes it. I don't know much about them. As far as I know, they're pretty solid vehicles. Are they capable wheelers? I know they're expensive to fix, and I thought the late 90's had quite a few problems...

    Dilemma... sell the 80 for newer SUV or keep it and buy older SUV

    I X2 on the Sienna comments. '07 here, and yes it's dull. But MAN is it a 24mpg smooth, spacious people hauler. My wife, too, 'refused' to get a van. So I changed out of my skirt and told her "You have kids now. The kids will love it. Get over yourself, think about the kids, and get the van...

    Drip Rail blew off; do you keep yours?

    Hello again, still loving the '96 especially with gas under $2 now. My drip rail trim blew off coming to work today. It's the long black plastic trim piece that runs the length of the vehicle above the windows. I went back & got it, but I wondered if anyone else has had this happen. If so, did...

    LC vs Chevy Z71 - pls explain difference in ability

    Hello again. Another rookie question. I've been very lightly offroading across a creek on my way home from work each day (slight detour). Not a big deal, but a decent challenge with the ruts, mud, & rocks leading up to it. Yesterday, I tried my '98 Chevy 1/2 ton Z71 pickup through it. It also...

    Range Rover recall - No problem

    " If you were fortunate enough to put a 2003-2005 Range Rover in your garage, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is delivering some bad news. According to a just-released recall, a total of 19,168 Range Rover models may have misaligned front driveshafts. If left unchecked, the...

    Range Rover recall - No problem

    I had to chuckle at this. For years I wanted a Rover (cheap to buy, $$ to keep running) or a Cruiser ($$ to buy, cheap to keep running). God smiled upon me and granted me the '96 Cruiser for $5k (VGC, no damage ever, 125k miles, best deal of my life from a very good friend who knew I loved...
