I purchased it in 2014 and maintained it regularly since. Recent inspection report attached.
No accidents. No rust. No smoking.
Drives great super quick off the line (relatively speaking), sounds great, looks great, always a conversation starter.
I'm the second BC owner. Selling it because I no...
Since replacing my aged OME suspension with new coils, I've heard a clunking sound when I encounter particular types of bumps. I've checked and wiggled everything in the front end. My thinking is that the geometry on the drag arm end and pitman is off - as a result the rod end whacks the pitman...
Selling my fully functional 12v Factory winch from my HDJ81 - winch works perfectly and only removed it because it didnt fit my new, very low profile bumper. All components required for use are included: winch (obviously), the contoller and carry case, the electrical relays (if you want them)...
There are many, many posts that seem to talk of CDL issues. The very detailed pnwadventures post was and awesome run through the system, but doesnt address my issue. I've tried each test with no avail. Hoping there might be some be helpful thoughts out there.
Main sympton: CDL is temperamental...
Diesel, Factory triple locked, winch, ARB Bumper, Sliders, Air, and roof rack. The truck is in perfect working order, ready for any adventure. But life's priorities change and I'm sad to put it up for sale.
Decided not to sell it right now - daughter had too much fun driving it.
PM me if you...
Howdy,
I'm trying to figure out which part of my factory winch is the problem. Is there any means of testing it off-vehicle? Ground and power seem intuitive, but I'm not sure how to bypass the #1 magnet switch (under the battery). Is it possible?
Overall, I my winch isnt working. The #1...

I installed my OME 850/863J and 60070/60071 just over 5 years ago. Since then, I've covered a lot of ground and added a bunch of weight. In short, the trucks handling is pretty brutal, especially things like washboards, and off-camber roads. I'm looking to upgrade and have eyes on a couple of...
Hi!
The previous owner of my truck installed a Slee DC shaft. The (front, front) U-joint is kaput and needs replacing. Does anyone happen to know the appropriate PN?
Thanks so much in advance,
Jamie.
Its been such fun owning "Huckleberry", but its time to move to a more appropriate DD.

I knew removing the heater core was a "pain". But didnt truly appreciate how intense it was until I was nearly done. The experience somewhat reminded me of being an expecting father for a first child - no amount of warning really prepares you at all :)
For anyone looking for a "what the big...
Thank you in advance for the insight!
Here is my problem: brake pedal travel is really long on the first, and only first, depression of pedal. The second and subsequent presses, brake are amazing.
Backstory: I took it to the shop and the front rotors machined and new front pads were installed...
My heater decided to blow hot air only, no cold, no a/c.
Its not a thermostat thing right?
I had to maneuver the dash a bit the other day - could it be the flexible rubber hose going into the rear of the heater control unit has come loose? Seems odd, but its the only thing I can think of...
Last week I noticed that the left-hand side of my truck's windows (passenger side as its an RHD) all stopped working for no apparent reason (Left front & Left Rear). I would greatly appreciate thoughts on where to continue my troubleshooting efforts.
I checked the Driver master switch...
I was trying to remove my panel the other day, and the backs to the attachment bolts broke off (all rusted). Specifically, they are the backs to the bolts right above the wheel.
In order to stick the panel back on, I need to find some replacements. The trouble is, I have no idea what they are...
Hopefully a quick question - is there any downside to installing a second aux transmission cooler?
My transmission gets stinking hot during forest service road climbs (easily >250, which is bad). I already have a one aux cooler (fin type) and it helps, but clearly not enough. I thought about...
Wanted to ask a general question about what is "too hot" for a transmission temp. I guess the follow-up question would be: what should I do about it.
When I do big climbs on logging roads (~30kmph), the trans temp quickly rises to about 250 degrees. It seems to level out there if I keep the...
I want to temporarily remove the passenger heater unit from my HDJ81.
This will be a stupid question, but I am going to ask it anyways:
What are the 2 hoses leading to the heater core full of?
Is it coolant?
Sorry its such a dumb question!
I am a dumbass. Apparently I should read the details a little more closely before tearing apart the rear axle.
I cant for the life of me get the short axle back into the diff. I didnt engage the locker before starting - perhaps that is my problem. Now that I am stuck, how can I get unstuck...
