Have had this for a while.
Usually, but not exclusively, when starting for the first time each day turn the key and...nothing.
Wiggle key...nothing.
Hold key to the far right...nothing.
Then, LC just fires up. Most days, that's it. But, occasionally, this happens after turning off the...
On last week's Baja trip we did encounter some rain.
Since I was wearing shorts and flip flops I could feel the occasional drop of water.
I could not locate it and forgot about once we hit our southern destination where it was not raining.
Hmmm...
Highway miles mostly. 150 miles of salt flats, deep sand and the occasional rocky section. The Harbor Freight trailer did its job with the BMW GS. Carried extra gas but mostly for peace of mind.
The ARB compressor help re-air the tires quite nicely even though I never got around to mounting it...
Gathering the parts to do a front end tune up.
OEM vs. Moog vs. eBay vs. GM and other heavy duty alts
Any thoughts on which is the correct solution?
Are Zerk fittings an added bonus? Or just something that will break off?
Should I be ordering anything in addition to the four tie rod ends?
I am fairly certain other Mudders have taken advantage of new-found electrical leads from the rear heater fan switches circuit.
Any suggestions on how to go about using them?
Bought this and then went OEM on my 1994.

Any recommendations for a good mechanic on LA's westside?
Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Rey, Culver City.
Just basic stuff. Still working a good baseline list and want some help now that I am a bit short on time.
BTW, I had TLC in Canago Park, www.tlc4x4.com, the same folks who build the...
Getting to mount my Craiglist Con-Ferr jumbo rack.
Removed the OEM rack this weekend. Had one buggered nut joint and one frozen one that got its bolt hacksawed off. The rest came off cleanly. The protection strips were, of course, glued on but, oddly, screwed down with sheet metal screws, not...
Just picked up this fabulous Craigslist find.
After fresh paint and some linseed oil on the wood it gets mounted on my 80.
Any suggestions on which towers to use?
Gamivitis look like the way to go but what is TWOTL?
TIA!
My Holiday gift to the 80 is all new Radiator and heater hoses. Even going to do the vacuum lines. Box came yesterday from CruiserDan with everything I need except coolant. My local dealer has Toyota Red 50/50 for $23/gal.
Are any of the hoses in tricky places that warrant 2nd thoughts?
Or...
