    Best GPS App...What are your Experiences/Suggestions?

    Check out Malpets. You can download trail maps and it uses GPS function (NOT cellular data!) to get your location info. I find when I'm in the middle of nowhere, so long as I have the map preloaded there's no problems. You can pull in tons of maps, or even submit your own. For most offroad...

    The infamous brake issue....

    Taking ABS out of my truck was one of the best things I did. Pedal feel is great, I can lock up my 37's on dry pavement if I push hard enough.

    Uhh . . . .maybe that water was too deep

    Sounds oddly familiar... Here's my writeup on changing brushes and cleaning the alternator. You might find it helpful depending on your own diagnosis: Alternator clean and rebuild

    My 80 has been killing me lately ( 3RD Member Content )

    If you had it rebuilt from a shop, take it back. If you had it rebuilt from a friend, get another friend and a used 3rd.

    Part Time 4WD 1997 Cruiser Conversion ...without differential lock switch ?

    Sigh. Why to people keep trying to inject this as a reason to do PT conversion? As a guy who's actually DONE it, I can tell you the reasons to do a PT conversion. 1) Lift. If you go into the 4" range, you're going to probably have vibration issues. PT kit fixes that. 2) Drivability in...

    How-to: rear axle rebuild

    As I said in the 2nd post: "Put the lock plate in, and then spin the nut onto it. Once it gets seated, tap it until it's tight, then back it off again. There's (surprise!) a bit of controversy about the preload settings on this... however, you don't have many choices. Here, the phililps screw...

    Marlin Crawler Low Range Gears Group Buy

    Yeah, I still have them but the issue isn't the gears, it's the setup kit that is different if you have an elocker.

    Write-up: Toss the LSPV and install a manual proportioning valve

    Since you removed both your sway bars, that's not a fair comparison. For me, I ditched my ABS & LSPV and brakes are MUCH better. I feel fully confident now, where before I could never get a good pedal feel, and always worried about a panic stop due to the "lack" of brakes.

    voltage regulator triage, Any other wires to check to rule out ?

    Denso reman is about $140, so certainly don't buy the in-store junk. Also look at Amazon - if you have Prime, you can get it same/next day for that price. You could not have installed the brushes the wrong way, so I would say the regulator took a bath and that's that.

    Front axle droop and grind WTF

    Looks to me like your pinion angle is way off. Like 10 degrees off. I'm surprised you don't have nasty sounds while onroad - did you part time it?

    A/C Center Vent Temperatures - R134a System?

    There are kits you can buy to inject cleaner into the evaporator housing to help clean it out. I did it on mine, and it made a substantial difference. Nasty crap came out of the drain tube. Also changing the dryer and expansion valve is what it took to get mine back to right.
