99 Disco II Recently had to replace 2 tires on the drivers side. At the shop to get the two new tires rotated to the front with the old on the rear right now. All four are BFG ATs at 265/75. Old have half the tread of the new. I've heard you're supposed to replace all 4 on AWD vehicles at...

My 99 DII's doors are difficult to open from the inside, especially when I get back from one of my trips into Baja. I drive this thing fast and hard over desert roads with a mix of gravel, whoops, sand dunes and 3" wash board for 3 hours down and back. There is generally lots of rattling and a...

Just drove up to LA from SD to pick up a client/cousin. Spent all freaking day getting the baja off the truck so it would be presentable, 5 miles from the airport I hear a rattle that sounds like a credit card in a bike spoke. I ripped off the fan shroud in the airport parking lot and found a...

My buddy just bought a 65 mercury monterey and he needs the radiator re-cored. Anybody know a good shop for these kinds of rides? Also, does anyone have a link to a good forum for this guy? A google search yielded some sites where the only thing they discuss is boobies, penis enlargement and...

So I can never remember the number of the DII air filter off hand. While purchasing a thermostat monkey heart I bought the air filter they suggested: Fram CA5522. When it arrived it was too big. When I told their returns dept. I wouldn't pay the shipping they refunded the price minus the $3.50...

My front diff is making the same high pitched whine that my rear diff made before I had it replaced due to bad pinion bears. It's also leaking from the pinion seal. Two things: 1. I'm wondering if anyone knows a shop in san diego area that will replace those bearings for me without the LR...
