    hawse fairlead questions

    so i ordered two hawse fairleads (identical) from billet 4X4. i went to install them yesterday and i don't think they're gonna work. my bumper is an RTE wideface, so i'm assuming the opening they cut out at the fairlead is industry standard. the dimensions on the paper below are...

    how do i post pics?

    sorry for the dumb question guys. i did read the FAQ portion. the attachment scheme seems to be the same as LRO, but it keeps saying "file invalid" every time i try to upload a file after browsing. i've tried text and jpeg documents. thanks in advance.

    after wheeling about two months ago i started to notice an exhaust leak sound. i finally crawled under the truck this weekend during my routine maintenance and with the old hose to the ear trick i found two tiny, but audibly distinctive exhaust leaks. they are on the cat side of each pipe...

    how do you guys insure your discos?

    just curious. i'm on liability only now. it's super cheap, but if i really wreck the truck bad and can't salvage much off of it i'm out of tons of money. even if i put full collision on it, the blue book is probably way less than what the truck is worth to me. i probably have 5-7 grand just in...

    cdl questions

    i feel kinda dumb asking a few of these questions, but i'll start off with my redeeming explanation. i installed my cdl linkage ( from a 97 d1) about four months ago. the few times i've wheeled with it blew me away. BUT, i have no friends with 4X4's, so there is no one around to field my dumb...

    hey guys, new here. i'm looking for a good dual battery isolator kit. i want to run my winches and aux lights free of the possibility of draining down my starting battery. i'd like it to be electronic and capable of reading both batteries independently, but i'd also like it to have a manual...
