    Damper mounting bracket

    If the rover shakes when he drives it then you need to find the problem and fix it. the damper wont fix that. and if the rover is fixed properly the damper isn't really needed. look up death wobble and start tracking down the real issues.

    3" Terrafirma Springs D1

    Looks great with the 3" lift. What size tires do you have on it?

    Custom springs for D2

    Easy way to figure the actual weight would be to put the truck on a scale and get a real weight for the loaded truck. Also do you keep it loaded down with gear all the time? because with your prior stated 3-6 month sag happening on two different sets of springs, I wonder if your not just over...

    Custom springs for D2

    I don't know much about the Terrafirma adjustable shocks. I know some of the Higher end Nitro Charged (like OME) are supposed to actually pick the truck up reducing the load on the spring, verses just being a damper like a standard shock. Perhaps someone running them can chime in on that. If...

    Custom springs for D2

    What kind of shocks are you running? I would think a high quality nitro charged shock could help lift a bit and take some load off the springs. Some even have spring assist.

    General Red Letter Grabber Update

    At 1-1/4 they are normally considered sheathing nails, but if they had the plastic washer around the head they are nails used for house wrap (like the Tyvek). Either way they will kill most normal tires of that size.

    Brake light bulb replacement 98 D1

    Jump seats don't have to come out, fold them out until you can get behind them kinda... then you just have to be able to move your arms in unnatural ways.

    ABS - Get Rid of It?

    There is a write up on Dweb (I think) somewhere about how to do this. I recall reading it not to long ago. If your brakes all work properly (aside from not liking to bleed the ABS Block) you shouldn't have a problem with removing the ABS Block and either installing new lines to the proportioning...

    Replacing lower steering shaft universal joint.

    remember that while the u-joint is off, don't let the steering wheel spin. you will destroy the cassette if it does move a lot.

    Replacing lower steering shaft universal joint.

    when I replaced my steering box a few months ago I had to remove both bolts from the lower u-joint and pry it open top and bottom (at slit where the bolts go) to get it to slide up enough to get it free from the steering box. also would help if you clean the shaft your trying to slide it up.

    LWB Classic Front Wheel Hopping

    I chased this same problem for what felt like forever. Changed panhard bushing many times, tie rod ends, radius arm bushings, and finally found a worn bearing race in the upper pin for the swivel housing. That was the end of the problem. But Damn was is frustrating to find. Good luck in fixing...

    Key cut from code

    You will have to find a locksmith that deals with Automotive keys I just had keys cut for my Land Rover using the code but I had to find someone who could do it like that. Try asking a reputable local car dealership who they use for making new keys.
