I don't know which one I want more: a supercharger or an auxiliary fuel tank.

That's pretty messed up.

Ima thinkin if you get item 1...you definitely need item 2...

Heck, I want item 2 even without item 1!
 
Just to close this loop. The rear speed sensor wiring harness was the issues.
Mine was driver rear. When I had my rear locker installed the mechanic did not account for the harness when the rear axle was dropped. That stretch caused the issues / failure. The rear speed sensor harness is one run that attaches to both rear sensors / bridges the rear axle. A new harness was needed as a remedy. My cost on the unit was $185. All good now
Thanks

But I still manage an average of 500km on a full tank :hillbilly:
 
We all understand Land Cruiser addiction...

...but can anyone else here relate to FLASHLIGHT addiction?

Only about 1/4th of my pile... Jut a bunch of black ones... :eek:
 
Which one is your go to?
 
I am in need of a center console cupholder insert. The only one's I see on ebay are for 100 series? Does anyone know where I can purchase one?
 
Which one is your go to?

If I was forced to keep only ONE?

Over-all...if FORCED to choose one I could ever own?

No question. It would be the NiteCore SRT7 (two of them in the middle of the photo)...along with the NiteCore D4 charger (charges literally ANYTHING you can throw at it).

SRT7:
-Infinitely adjustable from 1 lumen to a legitimate 950...
-Also have legit strobe for AR/Intruder disorientation that is instant and full-brightness (many have strobe, but slow)
-Has separate red, blue and green LED mode for night, investigation & more
-Beacon mode
-18650 battery is quickly charged, great shelf-life, great non-use depletion rate
-Good flood, but also bright spot for distance
-Great power regulation
-Push-button on tail
-Small enough for belt or glove box...yet powerful enough to blow away most flashlights.
-Makes a fantastic tactical or defensive light on an AR or Benelli M4 shotgun with one-finger activation or pressure pad
-CLINCHER is the adjustment ring. -Lets you go SUPER dim so as not to disturb people in a hotel or tent...

Small, every Day Carry?
No question: NiteCore SRT3
-The SRT3 does EVERYTHING the P7 does, but 550 lumens, and a rechargeable rcr123 **OR...** comes with a tube to allow standard AA batteries in a pinch. -The ultimate survivor flashlight due to this option

Bad-Ass, Blow-you-away power:
-NiteCore TM26: 3500 Lumens of raw power

Tiny Marvel: Fenix LD01
-Barely bigger than the AAA it holds, yet surprising power with three levels of brightness.

PS.
Charger: No contest winner is the NiteCore D4. You plug it in to your 100 watt outlet in back of your cruiser, and you keep a couple 3400mAh 18650 lithium batteries, and a couple RCR123A batteries, and you always have fresh, super-powered batteries for the SRT7 and SRT3. Or...add a second D4, and you've got AA, or additional 18650s for the monster TM26 that takes four 18650s.

Great picture! Now I need to go round up all my handheld and weapon mounted torches and do a group shot. I've got somewhere close to 100 SureFire's!

Great reply. Thanks man
 
I must have inherited my flashlight addiction from my Dad.
 
Random question, I recently installed a lift and 305's and know that my MPG's will change, but wondering if the "miles to empty" calculation will be recalibrated after a few tanks. Reason I ask is that I was down to 5 miles and pulled into fill up and put in 23.7 gallons, which I have never put in more than 20 even after driving on 0 for 5-10 miles after.

Thanks
 
Hi folks, I have a couple suspension-related questions. I can break this out into its own thread if needed but thought I'd start here.

I have a 2013 200 with 65000 miles that I picked up this summer. I'm the second owner but when it was brand new it was outfitted with the OME 2703 spring/91005 strut combo in front and the OME 2722 spring/61029 shock combo in the rear. It also has the Total Chaos UCA's which I suspect have had zero maintenance since new.

As far as extra weight goes, the ARB bumper is up front (no winch currently), rear is stock with third row removed. I don't do any towing currently.

It is squeaking like crazy now that the weather is cooler from both the front and rear so I'm thinking of just doing a "refresh" on the whole suspension and I'm looking at going to the 2701 spring in the front to actually remove some of the lift. The 2701 is the medium load 1" lift coil.

My questions are:
1. Does anyone have any experience with the 2701 in terms of actual lift it provides?
2. What rear spring would make sense to pair with this? The 2721 (0" lift)?
3. If there's a reduction in lift from this combo, could I then get away with removing the TC UCA's and going to the stock upper control arm?

Thanks!
 
Your squeaking is probably from the poly bushings and the cooler weather. Have you greased the UCA bushings?
 
Great picture! Now I need to go round up all my handheld and weapon mounted torches and do a group shot. I've got somewhere close to 100 SureFire's!

Do you really have **100** SureFires??? Holy smokes!

Thanks. Yes, I tried hitting the zerks on both sides a couple different times and no change. Now, I haven't loosened the bolt (per TC instructions) and really pumped a ton of grease in there, I've only tried maybe 3 or 4 pumps with the bolt tight and weight on wheels. I can sort of "feel" the squeak through the steering wheel when I turn, if that makes sense. Because of that I was wondering if the uniball itself is squeaking.

The rear squeak is the top bushing on the shock. I can alleviate it briefly with some spray grease, but it comes back.
 
Mackey, you have a pretty sweet suspension that has many years/miles left to go.
