Just seeing this @ClassyJalopy! I'm about 5,000 miles in on the tires already. No real complaints here. They're noticeably noisier than the ATs I've run in the past, of course, but not super loud at all. Cruiser sound deadening allows me to still have a conversation and/or hear my music on the...
After a brief thanksgiving hiatus, we're back for another installment! Hope everybody had a lovely holiday with people and food you like. I sure did!
Now, back to pre-COTR in October...after finishing up the suspension install, I headed over to Extra Mile Performance for an alignment. This is...
Now, skipping back a couple steps...
My White Knuckle Off Road sliders showed up in the mail, right on schedule. Craftsmanship, packing, and customer service were all on point and I'm happy I went with them.
Those bolted right up easily and I moved on to suspension. I put a lot of...
Thanks @kevgentile!
Next step: this truck needed a timing belt. I had just gotten the job done successfully on the old truck, so I felt more confident going into this one with that under my belt (no pun intended). Sure enough, I knocked it out much quicker this time. Big thanks to @cruiserpatch...
Got back home and got the running boards off right away. It was pretty surreal for me to have those bolts come out...easily. And have shiny threads instead of brown.
Failed MD safety inspection because the D light, shifter backlight, and parking lights were out. 2 of the 3 never worked on my...
Since the truck and I had such a nice time taking the long way home, here are a few pics from that trip:
Picked up a new (used) bike rack in Reno, since mine had just been stolen off the front lawn.
Had the privilege of rolling it over 300k miles and had to pull over to commemorate the...
Some of you know me in person already, but around here I've been mostly lurking for years, and I figured that now's the time to change that! As I move on to my second 100 series, I'd like to get things a bit better documented for both my own sake and others this time around. I'm very excited to...
I'm actually getting ready to sell a 2001 LC in Maryland. It'll be on the mildly built/wheeled/cheapish side if that sounds appealing to you. Either way, good luck and we'll be happy to have you in the cult!
Main item for me is I'm still trying to get rid of a brand new tan OEM carpet for the cargo area. Also got a spare harbor freight/badland hawse fairlead that's new. Maybe a few other odds and ends. Nothing terribly exciting but hopefully will be helpful to someone!
Same thing just happened to me. Stopped for a while in a parking lot to try to figure things out, and there was some major melt going on, because the truck was making a huge puddle (of water) under the truck.
I have the same problem.
My question: can I rebuild the two ends of the bar (bushings etc) but leave it unattached to the frame until I can get the part fabbed up by a friend? Need to take a trip and don't have time to do the whole job....
Thanks

Me too. I suspect the passenger front door has water intrusion. My speaker in that door is also out, and the power lock doesn't work on that door either. I'll be taking apart soon and will report back.
