Or go the rebuild route & have it stroked to 4.3 & avoid liner issues ?
Real Steel are still in business, though I don't know if they still market the stroker kit.
Houses not selling, some stuff I look at has had prices dropping for at least the last 6 months.
Lot of people on interest only mortgages been burying their head in the sand for the last decade or so, and it is all coming home to bite their arse...
Cheers. I’ve got one sorted with loom. Engine mounts - have to relocate/weld new brackets on to suit v8 I assume. Welders not happy over 3mm with the 13a plug on it!
I'm also against bastardising vehicles by removing factory fitted systems so if we go back to where this thread started
First of all it would be good to explain how the ABS was "disabled" as it's disabled by default by the ECU when a system...
Cheers! He’s fine thanks - just a little cold which he’ll soon bounce back from. Yeah right winner that was! Mine are wrapped up on a shelf lol. I managed to find a really tidy optional extra a bar too when I got mine
Also been doing my veneers. Bloody tricky. Picture 1, before any coating had to be jointed due to the sheets being slightly too short. I got away with it though!!
Thanks. The drivers side is just as bad. I’ve bought full kit for that. Thinking I’ll get new headlight box on where I want it and string line a few measurements then just chop whole drivers side wing off and weld on a full assembly. Rich has...
Left front corner is nearly done. Mount is on, footwell all done, strengthener plate for mount added to footwell, inner wing and bulkhead closed, finally!
I had your symptoms in my td5 90. Felt like it was hitting fuel cut. Then it started dying when it rained 😂! You couldn’t buy an overlay harness at the time - I made mine out of trailer cable and it cured it totally. I’d do it as a matter of...
So not long after I bought the Landy he developed a funny noise underload, sounded like a belt squeaking or a bearing failing. Was a really weird one, got worse once hot. After some investigation I decided it was the OS exhaust manifold leaking...
No issue mate - I got a man with a low loader who will take care of all that. I’d just have to pay for it to get moved. Price is fine and you can take what you want apart from anything to do with it running lol!
My comment was a bit tongue in...
There’s a really good YouTube vid of draw builds etc how you’re describing.
One thing to be mindful of, once you have draws etc fixed in, you are limited by what you can do. A lot of overland builds opt for slide in boxes etc rather than draws...
Sorry mate, I didn’t see your reply - thanks for taking the time to share your experiences and thoughts so clearly! I can deal with 14 or 18 on a run. I’d maybe use it once or twice a week or just when I want a smile. Like Phil said - I guess it...
This is true. I use my pickup for everything anyway with the dogs etc and it’s set up for the off-roading I do.
My vision for the D1 is making it as 90s premium as I can - hence getting an ES then collecting up all the optional bits and re-doing...
