    DIY new windshield or have it installed by a pro?

    Hey guys, I have a few extra bucks and really need to install a new windshield. I think I can swing installing it myself unless there's a some really tricky issues I can't handle. Any reason I shouldn't do this at home? Any tips, thoughts? thanks!

    Brake issue. Pedal fade turned into hard pedal.

    Wife tells me the brakes are acting up, I drive it and find brakes are working but the pedal fades while sitting at stop lights and such and need to be pumped to be restored. So pressure and stopping power were ok, at first, then the pedal would soften and pressure would be lost. Well that...

    1850 miles to go, cruise control takes a dump.

    Just left Denver, heading to Sarasota. Got on the highway, set cruise. Switched it off for some traffic. Went to set it again, activated, light flickered, deactivated. Now nothing. Ideas? I got a long way to roll...

    Flange wear, spindle damage. Anyone seen this before?

    I have no idea what caused this. Any ideas guys? The flange has wear on the inside and the tip of the spindle was damaged enough to roast the threads on the hub nuts when I took them off. What the hell caused this? Bad bearings? The link to the image isn't working for some reason, trying to...

    Coolant temp gauge with Alarm options?

    I've been looking around and so far, this gauge on ebay is the closest I've found. This gauge doesn't even read coolant temps. It attaches to any random bolt which could work. Anyone seen anything similar? I really need one in my Discovery and want to put one in the cruiser of course...

    Gonna paint the pig!

    I'm about to start prepping my 80 for paint and I want to pound out a couple dents the best I can. What's the best way to prep the car? What tools should I reach for? The last cat I painted was a 67 VW bug when I was a teenager. Wet sand and spray cans. My rig is 6M1 Dark Emerald Pearl and...

    ARB question. Will Discovery front bumper fit FZJ80?

    I called ARB, they transfered me to sales and not to a tech like I asked. I asked if the swap would work. An ARB made for a 98 Discovery to a 93 LC and he said "no, it's way off." Then said I should contact a distributor and get one for the cruiser. Anyone make or try to make this swap before...

    Searching for head gasket replacement info

    I'm on the hunt! My 93 is on the back of a tow truck heading my way from Colorado Springs up to Lakewood, just west of Denver. I know this truck has a misfire and I'm pretty certain it's because #6 isn't firing because of a bad head gasket. I'm looking for an awesome HG How To thread, a repair...
