My front output seal has started leaking. I have a replacement seal, but a buddy told me that Im better off replacing the whole yoke and seal. What are your thoughts? Just the seal or do the whole kit?

Its basically equivalent to 1000hp and 1000 ft lbs

First gen Tactical Rovers. Its held up great over the last 10yrs!

I took a few inches off all the way across the whole opening. I had to trim the ends off the bumper and sliders as well. There still isnt a whole lot of room at full stuff. The rear still rubs a bit when stuffed.

I like mine. The tires still stick out about a 1/2". With out the flares they would stick out too much for my taste. I cut quite a bit of sheet metal, but that needed to happen to clear the 35s at full flex.

i replaced my perfectly working Superwinch with a Smittybilt X20 after seeing what my buddies put theirs through on a wet, winch fest weekend at an offroad park.

With any 20+yr old vehicle there will always something that needs replacing. Especially anything plastic or rubber. Ideally look for one that was owned by an enthusiast. Someone who loved it and didnt neglect it. That will give you a huge head start.

With that said, after a few years you eventually sort everything out. My 01 D2 with 199000 miles is arguably more reliable now than when I bought it 15yrs ago!

Thats the kicker, the more you drive it, the more you will need to do things. They make perfect weekend vehicles, but I wouldn't daily one again. I bought a little hatchback 6speed that gets 30mpg and hasnt needed anything but tires in 5yrs.. Its nice to work on the Rover as money and time allow.

Playing and competing are two different things. I can play basketball, but there is no way I can play competitively. Just because older people, or obese people play casual rounds of golf, doesn't put them at the same level as someone like Tiger woods. Call it a hobby, a game, a sport.. it...

Well if we want to get technical... Sport: an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.

Ketchup on a hotdog? Thats not as bad as my buddy who puts mayonnaise on his!!🤮 Im more of a spicy mustard, red onions, kraut, and relish kinda guy.

Are any of those guys still alive?? Lol yeah they dont make the seniors carry their own bags, but they still have to walk the course. Pretty impressive for guys that are 70yrs old!

Any of you guys ever walk 18 holes with your clubs on your back?? Thats how I started playing when I was kid. Played on the high-school team. Again, carts were not allowed during tournament play. That was not easy! Carts change the dynamic quite a lot!
