    D2 Tie Rod Ends (Terrafirma Rods)

    How long ago was that? All I see is $50 a piece. Are they that good? https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/brands/lemfoerder?&brandName=lemfoerder&beginIndex=0&sortBy=5&_r=0.16351185789194478

    Advice for work to do while the engine is out

    I found some big/short Allen Head "Set-Screws" ant the Hardware Store - Tapped the holes and screwed them in with a liberal amount of Red Locktite. Not sure if the Locktite will hold up to the head temps, but so-far all is well.

    D2 Tie Rod Ends (Terrafirma Rods)

    Not sure of the Brand of TRE's that came with the set-up - They are R & L threaded. - Seems i read someplace that Defender TRE's will work.

    Advice for work to do while the engine is out

    I still get all the info on the scanguage - the only fault I have is one of the O2 sensors reads as low voltage. - Pretty sure its the rear one and has no effect on the engine - and that may be from the removal of the SAI clutter. After removing all the EPA crap the engine runs much cleaner...

    D2 Tie Rod Ends (Terrafirma Rods)

    I installed the Terrafirma HD Track Rod & Drag Link about 2 or 3 years ago. While greasing up the Tie Rod Ends I noticed that all the Boots are already splitting and one of the ends already feels very binding or rough if you twist it side to side - And I've barely had it off road. I'm pretty...

    Advice for work to do while the engine is out

    I just put in the Base Crower Cam and stroked it to a 4.6 - Got rid of all the emissions crap (including the cats) & pluged the SAI holes in the heads, balanced the crank, as well as the usual new rings, gasket set. Made a nice difference. Going to big on the cam is a waste for me, and it...

    Mounting auxilliary reverse lights on a D2

    I got these of Amazon ~$18 and cut a hole - then just tied them into the existing reverse lights - bright as shit and you can see what your about to hit.

    ABS - Get Rid of It?

    Yup tired that - It worked once before but didn't seem to work this time when i needed it too. Bought a pressure bleeder and that seemed to work well.

    Advice for work to do while the engine is out

    Why stay with a 4.0 when all you have to do is get a good used 4.6 crank and a set of 4.6 rods to get a 4.6. Thats what I did and it made a nice improvement in drive-ability. Also added a Crower cam.

    Exhaust issues, Won't pass WA emissions

    I'll be heading to Washington in a week, I should stop by one of those pathetic Emission Stations to get mine checked just for fun. When I rebuilt mine, I removed the Air Injection and plunged the holes in the heads... Removed the CAT's and had riser bungs installed for the O2 Sensors... Ran...

    Falconworks DII P38 Throttle Body Heater Plate Review

    Now Now - Don't be so judgemental. If you could make them out of a quality Aluminum that wont turn into a pretzel, you may have some sales. Bronze is fairly high on the Galvanic Corrosion list for Aluminum. So a nice CNC'd chunk of Aluminum would be best. I'd bet you could get a deal on 100...

    Falconworks DII P38 Throttle Body Heater Plate Review

    Big problem is that they let that pile of shit go out the door with a smile. For what they charge that item should be CNC'd as one piece with no welds. Hell I bet a CNC shop could do it for half that.

    Damn Throttle Body Pre-Heater Gasket Again

    Shit I thought the LR one was overpriced. "Throttle body heater fix for Land Rover that won't warp, leak, and let all your coolant out every 6 months" After I flattened mine its been just fine for 2+ years. While the OEM may warp to start with, I dont imagine that it would continue to form...

    Damn Throttle Body Pre-Heater Gasket Again

    When I removed mine during the engine rebuild, I was shocked at how out of flat it was. About .020-30 out in the center. No wonder these leak. Put some emery paper on a sheet of glass and made it nice and flat. No way was I going to buy a replacement for $35 that would probably show up just...
