I’ve been using Cyclops led bulbs. The first set lasted 9yrs. I’ve been on the second set for about 6 months. They work great in glass D1 housings. But suck in 7” round fixtures. Can’t wait to try a set of yours for those. I have an old Alfa and the kiddo has a Montero with 7’s. I would love to...
Bought a 96 in 2007 sight unseen for $2100 while I was looking for a Land Cruiser. 240k later I bought a 94 D1 in 2010. Still driving it daily, now by my kiddo. Got a 2004 D2 in 2020, anlso a daily by the Mrs. My other kiddo wants that one. Also have a 94 LWB that is more of a storage locker in...
Check your vacuum line to your fuel pressure regulator. It’s back and out of the way. Pull the screws out of your TPS and leave it in place. Start the engine and very slowly move the TPS one way then the other to see if it gets happy. If that works then slot the TPS holes and lock it down or...
I didn’t do the inline mod but am running the 180 t stat and the Chevy fan mod with a HD clutch. I’ve had good luck with that. Off-road 100+ outside, I will hit 205 with the air on. Usually it’s at 190 with the air on scooting around town on hot days.
On a D1 I no longer have, I abandoned the head light washers. Used a Toyota pump and had a second set of windscreen sprayers installed in the plugs for the right handed wiper set up in the cowl. It worked great.
Yes. The heat shield has to go. Disconnect the battery to keeps things calm. It was a lot of twisting and dare I say, fuckery, to get it in place. If you drop the Y pipe it’s a lot easier but only if you know it will come off without snapping something. It can be done with everything but the...
Oooo. I strap two 5’ levels to the wheels making sure the tire writing or side tread doesn’t interfere and a string on two jack stands for front to back tracking. But I like those too. I would just need a few different sets. That’s the only down side I see.
I love hearing crap like that. I do my own alignments and took my D1 to get new tires. As part of that, they offered to check the alignment. When I went to pick it up and asked about it , I was informed that there aren’t any adjustments for that so they didn’t check it. 😐 I am positive that...
If your lock works normally with the key and the door just opens with the handle from both the inside and outside, then it’s your actuator. When the little spring goes out, usually your interior lock knob will drift down and mess with you. You will have to pick it up the last 20% to be able to...
Ever thought about moving somewhere close ish to Boise Idaho? I would love to do that deal! I’m with Jimmy about being surprised that they are still for sale.
As much as I hated the “ inset any American car body” on a Blazer frame trend. I do rather like the off road prepped imports. Mini cooper, Volvo wagons, new Beetles and such. They just look fun.
