Damn rock in the first Cat sheild!!!!
Its a long list so here it goes;
leaking oil pan
three dash lights out
abs not working
clunking in driveline
clunking in front driver hub
tie rod hitting control arms (need to fix this soon)
has random dash lights come on and stay on
(check engine, oil, door open)
two of the four fender flares hang off
and the worst thing of all, its smells inside like a rotten animal or something died in there...perhaps its the moldy carpet from being wet or the new 315/75/16 BFG MUD spare that is sitting in the back...rubber has a nasty smell inside a cruiser when it gets to be over 100 degrees outside.
Holy crap, now when I write this stuff down, my cruiser sounds like a total heep of s***!!! NA, its my cruiser and I love that damn thing!!

problems solved daily...
Can't believe I missed that one.e9999 said:what about the grab handle, eh, Mr. Prez...?
Add DS A-pillar grab handle.
Darned POS handle.
It would be fun to get the reaction of the discoweb guys when they see how few 80s have what they would deem as problems.

Oh yea,
New radiator,
washer diverter,

My list is very short:
cruise control (with quick fix) will only work when it wants too!
missing running boards - sliders being done Sunday - Yahoo!
Muffler doesn't rattle against Kaymar bumper brace after Miller's!

Hey I've got that one too. But it keeps the mileage down.
Front Brakes and Rotors, Front End Rebuild. Parts in hand. Next week scheduled.
Passenger Side Door doesn't lock.

Remember the KnightRider!
About the only thing wrong with mine is the nutcase behind the wheel
Burned out "D" light. In the past, a good whack on the dash would wake it up. Not now.
Maybe a few other things. (Yeah, right!)
The dirty sock smell is gone after a thorough A/C evaporator cleaning with DWD2. That stuff works!

You might want to check your starter contacts - could cause a fire if that is the problem.
My list:
Rear axle rebuild (had the parts for over a year now)
Winshield washer diverter
Gas cap (and if that fails charcoal canister)
Slider vibration (I hope)
Washer bottle reloacation (This probably counts as a mod but I have the kit sitting in the garage)
Landtank drivers seat mod (yeah, been storing these parts too)

My List :
Skewed bumpstop. Makes a lot of squeeking when I drive rough roads where a lot of articulation happens. A real pain after a couple of hours.
Some thumping in the rear, only comes on rough roads. Probably the exhaust pipe, but everything there is properly fastened.
Low speed clicking somewhere near the front wheels. Sounds like lockers, but I don't have lockers.
Harsh gear changes. Still not yet bad enough to fix.
CDL does not engage. Thanks to Drexx, the indicator works again, but the CDL still does not engage. I'm still working it in the hope it will fix itself.
Leaky windsheild and sunroof but only during the heaviest monsoons or typhoons.
Leaking brake fluid well. That's what I get for using cheap substitutes.
Noisy door ashtrays. They rattle.

Rear main oil leak
Bent control arm
Hole in driver's seat leather getting bigger daily

Groan from driveline due to caster issues that's going to get worse when I install spacers

My "D" light is out as well, not sure why maybe the lightbulb. To lazy to change it.
My list, today - since I had the cracked windshield replaced last week.
soon to be hole in drivers seat
Poor sound - especially the POS subwoofer
Centerlock sensor out - no light on the dash anymore, but 4L works fine.
need a 285 spare to go with the REVOs
more cold from the AC, it's hot in TEXAS this month

what's wrong with my '96?
230,000 miles,
hole worn in leather steering wheel at the very top center of the wheel,
all seats are dried, cracked, thinning,
check engine light on, (egr valve),
285/75's are starting to look a little worn out,
right rear cap on running board missing,
small scratches in paint on sides,
small dimples on hood and roof from a hail storm (PO),
gonna need brake work soon (first time in 40,000 miles that Im gonna have to do anything to the brakes),
AC compressor sounds like its gonna lose a bearing..... makes a whirring sound when AC on, but it's done that the entire time Ive had it, so I hope it will last at least another 40,000 miles,
oh - I almost forgot -
they didnt put the diff locks on my truck when they built it like they were supposed to.
a couple more things wrong, it does not have the 4.2 liter TD, or an auxiliary fuel tank, or an onboard welder or air compressor or how water shower or a winch or a hi-lift, or a slick little trailer setup with 6 bolt hubs sporting 16" LC alloys and 285/75 ta-ko's (and a couple extra mounted tires to use as spares for either the truck or the trailer)
give me a couple minutes and I might find some more things wrong with my LC

Hmmmm
1. Small rip in driver seat leather
2. Rear, exterior driver side vent cover loose at bottom
3. Check engine light on due to VSR et al
4. "Bling" gold color fading on exterior emblems
5. Won't play new DMB (Dave Matthews Band) CD but plays every other CD (400+) I own - I think??
6. Dead gnat in speedometer well - can't get it out.
7. A little "shimmy" at 70 mph - due for a tire rotation - may help.
Bbbbd, bdddbd, bdbdbd - that all folks!

Funny thing I have as it's my only problem and it only happens when I have the kids with me. The radio seems to be way too loud.
