Found one. Thanks. Jan

I bent the rear driveshaft on my D1 and am looking for another stock one by this weekend. It's the type with U-Joints at both ends. I'll even take one without the drive flanges, as long as it is straight. I am located in Westby, WI. Thanks, Jan Smith

I thought about the HP rear when I did it but decided on the low pinion for the higher gear strength and I could get one cheaper that was setup with factory gears. No vehicles had 5.56?s stock in a HP diff. Looking back at it now it really didn?t save that much as I chipped the teeth on the...

It's a low pinion rear diff and I am running RTE lowers with stock upper mount. With the pinion angle set parallel to the ground I do occasionally catch it. With a CV drive shaft I can tip the pinion up to get a little more clearance and I get the added benefits of pulling the rear tires ahead...

I debated this quiet a bit when I setup mine as well. Here is what I have ended up with. 3" RTE springs- retained 12" Bilstien short body shocks all the way around RTE rear lower arms Toy conversion- 4.56's and elockers 35x12.5" MTR's- on 8x15" rims with 3.75" backspacing Lots of trimming and...

I ran the Dunlop Mud Rovers for 3 years. I didn't have any problems with tire wear mostly due to the fact I had to replace three during that time due to sidewall punctures. One I cut clean open from the bead to the tread, the sidewall was only about an 1/8 thick. In the long run it would have...

I was having issues with my pump as well and was able to fix it. There are two nipples coming off a diaphragm at the end of the pump, (one splits the other is straight, I think). At the base of each nipple is a one way valve. One only lets air in the other only let?s air out. In the case of my...

When I was chasing down cruise issues on my D1 after a wheeling trip, it ended up being the check valves in the pump were leaking due to mud entering through the vent. It is easy to check if they are sealing- Pull the pump out and use a hose to try and blow into and then pull vacuum on each...

On my 95 DI I kept track of it for over 26,170 miles and I averaged 13.19 mpg combined city/highway/offroad. The high was 19.1 mpg and low was 4.4 mpg. That was a mixture of both with stock tires and 31's and all stock gearing. Now with 35X12.5R15 MTR's and 4.56 gears I am averageing between...

I have run the 245/75 mud rovers on my D1. They did work well but the 2 ply sidewall is more prone to damage. I destroyed two of them in one week of wheeling in CO. One was cut clean by a rock from the bead to the edge of the tread. The other had a puncture in the sidewall that took two plugs to...

All alone in WI and my pin is miles from my place.

You guys would not believe some of the people that build these things. Working at a emission test lab you see a new one about every year. Some guy would show driving his ford excursion and claim it was getting 50 mpg with his gas ionizer so you run a federal emission test on it, charge the guy...

Thought I would add my short list. 95 D1- Winter vehicle and off-road rig 02 HD Ultra Classic- My DD unless there is snow.

I use whatever I can pick up cheap at whatever auto store I am in. I have never noticed a difference and until someone can show me a study done by an independent source that shows otherwise I will continue to use whatever is cheap.

When I was working at a marina and was always moving trailers around we would leave the trailer hitch slightly lower than the top of the ball so you would hit it with the hitch when backing up. If you set it right the ball will still start to slide under the hitch when you hit it and you could...

Sounds like you are doing better than me. Since Dec of 2003 I have kept track of a little over 23K miles of driving in my D1 with 245/75 mud tires. Total on-road fuel mileage to date: 13.21 mpg.

How about SW Wisconsin. I moved into WI this Jan. and am looking for trails.
