    Driveway frame off restoration

    That was another idea. Just restore and rebuild everything except the body. Then do a transplant later. It's tuff to get a truck this old to stay in decent shape around here.

    Driveway frame off restoration

    That is what I thought would work. I'm just wondering if the outriggers will be in the way when I try to move the frame between the supports. It might be close.

    Driveway frame off restoration

    Saw that and thought the same thing, but the winters here will age it quickly.

    Driveway frame off restoration

    Anyone have some experience removing the frame from a 1994 D1? Sixteen years of NE winters with salty roads has taken it toll. It's time to restore or get a new truck. I really like the simplicity of the early D1's so I'm up for the restore. Has anyone done a frame off on a Disco? I've thought...

    And, here it starts!

    When I hear this crap about "What's wrong with a little gun control" it makes me want to vomit. I live in the "Peoples Republic of Massachusetts" and we have some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. Remember Clinton's 10 year gift of the Assault Weapons Ban that expired a few years...

    Transfer case questions

    Well the transfer case is in need of some repairs. I've always had the clunk between drive and reverse but it has gotten worse. The u-joints were changed a year ago and a they are still good. The case is leaking from the front output seal and the bottom cover. It looks like the previous owner(s)...

    Applying hood blackout?

    The only extra advice I would add is to not get the backing wet before you peel it off. The backing gets soft and it tears leaving some of the paper behind. Huge pain in the ass to get off. Use a spray bottle with alittle soap and water, wet the hood and adhesive side of the decal, slide it into...

    Code 17 Throttle potentiometer

    Thanks Chris! Since it is the first time I've had a Code 17 I'll consider it a random "Lucas" problem and let it ride. I reset the check engine light and cleared the code. Time will tell. Merry Christmas!

    Code 17 Throttle potentiometer

    What does a Throttle potentiometer do exactly? :confused: A week ago the engine stalled while backing out of the driveway. It was took several tries to start it again and it has been fine since. The check engine light came on after it re-started and the code was 17 which leads to the question...
