    Longfield Install Q

    I'm installing rovertracks longs and a tt'd third from GBR. I tore the paper gasket that seals the hub to the knuckle. Should I fix the tear with a formagasket, or scrape it off and do my own with some loctite super-black gasket goo. Does the paper one act like a shim? I think that...

    Zoom Zoom, kinda

    This sounds ridiculous, but I swear there's something to it. Recently changed oil to Shell Rottella T, with the 1515 exploder filter. I dropped the pan, cleaned pick-up screen (minor debris), peeped the sleeves, then blasted all the sht off with green brakekleen (california baby seal safe)...

    No Brakes!

    My 97 disco decides to lose braking power occasionally. When I back out of my (downhill) driveway, I have to push the pedal as hard as I can to come to a complete stop, and often need to use the handbrake. Also, at low speeds, approaching stop signs and especially when pavement is wet the...

    Custom Subwoofer enclosure

    I built this sub box after watching unique whips. Remy is the man! My sound sucks though, so I was wondering if anybody has done this. I used marine grade 3/4in mdf for the face, base, and top, and three layers of f.g. for the contours (1 woven mesh, 2 random fiber matts. To seal small holes...

    Swing out on RTE bumper

    I had my RTE rear bumper shipped to 4x4labs of CA in september. It collected rust for several months before they decided to put on my swing-out tire and accessory holder. I cut in the lights. I am kind of disgusted after paying $1000.00 for this work (included powdercoating). The swing out...

    ARB winch bar for d1

    I am willing to sell my ARB airbag compatible winch bar, but WILL NOT ship it unless you pay someone to come build the crate. I went through this selling my tacoma bar and it's not worth it. I prefer pick-up only. I'm in Nevada City, CA and would drive to Reno or Sacto. I bought the bumper in...

    Arb W/ Stock Axle?

    I am planning on putting an ARB in the rear of my disco 1 (daily driver for wife, so detroit is not an option). We do a lot of offroad snow driving and moderate rocks in the sierras. I want to know if axle upgrade is needed now, or if i should wait till something breaks. I will be driving in...
