    Coil Conversion

    I thought I would relay this to whomever is interested....I recently installed a coil spring and shock conversion on my 06. It has the V6 and this was the one thing that Atlantic British thought could be a problem when they developed the electronic module that essentially replaces the original...

    Looking for an LR3

    I have the V6 and like it fine. The best reason to get one is that engine was produced in Ford's Cologne, Germany plant and is bulletproof. It's in many Explorers and Mustangs.

    Lower control arm

    I'm getting ready to replace mine for the first time. Only have 71K miles but it's time. I thought that while I had things apart that I would go ahead and do the uppers as well. I found both lowers and uppers for $380 delivered. Those are new and complete with bushings and ball joints. What I'm...

    Before/After lift with pics

    Damn, that's a good looking truck! I agree, the Woodcote green is the best. I did the same thing with my '99 D1 SD except I also added the DII rubberized front shock tower rings. They give a little better dampening on the road and they raised the front another half inch or so which made...

    D1 Owners ?

    PT: How do you set the base idle on 99 SD? Everything I've read points to that as the problem. I had the high idle problem on my first D1 and since it was still under the extended warranty, the LR dealer took care of it. I seem to recall it was fixed using TestBook.

    LR3 Replacement Battery

    I just bought a Maxx-94R from Wal Mart for $75 to replace the factory original battery. It is the exact same size with the same top configuration. The factory vent tube and fitting also fit perfectly. The label on the Maxx says it was produced by Johnson Controls. Given that most if not all...

    Infamous knock...

    These lifters are notorious for being sticky. I also run the Rotella 15w40 and MMO. Noisier than hell on a cool/cold morning but fine after a little warm-up. No noise on warm mornings.

    Does anyone recognize this Series IIA?

    http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/ctd/1035936506.html It's such a small world I thought this might be a good place to ask if anyone knows this vehicle?

    D1 tire choices

    I recently bought (5) Kumho Road Venture A/T KL78. These are 245/75-16 (E rated). I was looking for the best all-around tire at a good price. I paid $750 out-the-door from Discount Tire. The first trip I took was from Dallas to Big Bend National Park (about 1200 miles round trip) with quite a...
