    Cloudy Hella 4000 lenses

    I put in Hella's 130 watt bulbs. Was out yesterday morning and with the lights directed correctly I'm getting a tremendous amound of light even with the two cloudy lenses. I've decided to replace the lenses as nothing I've done to fix them has worked. I was amazed yesterday. I had been...

    Cloudy Hella 4000 lenses

    No. The lense and the housing are one piece. No way to scrub the inside of the lens. Soaking the thing in alcohol is supposed to fix it but did not in my case.

    Cloudy Hella 4000 lenses

    Two of my four lenses have become very cloudy on the inside. Too cloudy to transmit much light. Hella suggested soaking them in rubbing alcohol for 24 hours or so. I have now done this twice with no effect. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Tcase swap on a 2002 D2?

    Where is that documented exactly? Just put a transfer case with CDL in my 03 but not indicator light. Not critical but would be nice. Thanks.

    Detroits

    Have the 4.11's crushed your gas mileage? I understand that is a relative question as Discoveries really like gas anyway. Just curious.

    Thanks. That is the kind of information I am looking for. I hope to see a big difference off road but very little on.

    Sorry to hear about your bad Rubicon experience.

    Detroits

    Thank you. I think I understand the pros and cons from a technical perspective. My question really is am I going to be blown away by the performance improvement versus what I have now? Maybe no way to get a good answer as people's use for their vehicles differ dramatically and experiences...

    Detroits

    After switing to a CDL transfer case in my 03 Discovery, I am looking at a Detroit locker rear and a Detroit truetrac front. I'm building an expedition type vehicle which has a 2" OME lift and larger than stock but not huge tires. What I'm looking for is for someone to share with me what to...

    Drilling holes in SD rack

    It's my rack. I don't see how drilling a couple of small holes ruins it. I won't ever sell the rack so resale is not an issue. Please explain I asked the question because i want to drill straight holes for the hardware that came with the bush cables. Please elaborate so I understand how I...

    4 Jerry Cans and Two Water Cans?

    Olip. Thank you. Also, thank you to the people who pointed out why that much weight on the roof is not a good idea. That was the kind of information I was looking for. The bullshit insults i can live without. Not sure why it isn't sufficient to make an argument. I guess some people need to...

    4 Jerry Cans and Two Water Cans?

    Chris, I own a townhome. The garages are not tall enough for my Discovery with a modest lift and roof rack. I park on the street in front of my house. Mongo should have no trouble finding me. :-) Jimmy, I use fuel for my lanterns and stove as well as for the vehicle. As I mentioned, gas...

    4 Jerry Cans and Two Water Cans?

    Mongo. You are a pretty tough guy online. I am asking questions because I do not know the answers. If I did, I wouldn't be asking. Why is everyone else civil except you. I don't mind being wrong but you are an ass. Would love to meet you in person. My address is 649 N Post Oak Ln...

    4 Jerry Cans and Two Water Cans?

    Adding 300lbs to a vehicle is worth thinking through. Sorry but it is.

    4 Jerry Cans and Two Water Cans?

    fishEH- Thanks. With the stiffest OME suspension, do you think I need to consider spacers or something to prevent the rear from sagging? I've had the vehicle pretty loaded and have not needed them but four fuel cans and two water cans seems like a lot. Thanks for your opinion in advance.

    4 Jerry Cans and Two Water Cans?

    Kenneth- "Numb-nuts?" I had forgotten why I have stayed away from this board for so long. Having said that, your point is well taken. The front bumper is a bad idea. I am just experimenting with different ideas. Was looking for ways to distribute the weight instead of it all being in the...

    4 Jerry Cans and Two Water Cans?

    Thanks Leadvegas, I am considering these things. I have the heaviest suspension offered by Old Man Emo and may get spacers to add to it. The only problem with water insie is the limited space for gear. I have a soft case for the roof for sleeping bags, pillows, etc. but the other gear takes...
