My wife's 97 DI (170k miles) started making the dreaded metal on metal sound upon braking, and sure enough, one of the front calipers was frozen. Inboard left front pad was down to metal while outboard pad still had 3/16th of material. situation was similar on the right side as well as on...

I know this is short notice, but if anyone is interested in joining us for a ride through Wharton State forest this Saturday, post here. Meeting time is 9:00 - 9:30 am at the diner parking lot intesection of Routes 70 and 206. It should be an easy run since its been a little dry, but there...

I hate working on exhaust systems, but I don't want to pay $500-$800 for a Y pipe + whatever it would cost for installation, so I've resigned myself to do this. I'm thinking of cutting my existing cats of the Y pipe, getting a pair of aftermarket units and welding them in. So far, I've found...

I've yearning for the pines lately since I haven't been there since the spring. And all the recent rain has been really giving me the urge to get down there for a ride. I woke up yesterday around 5:30 in the morning to piss, and as I was standing there, python in hand, I decided to take a...

I need to change my front main seal. The crankshaft pulley bolt is torqued at 200 ft. lbs. and I'm looking for an excuse to get a new impact wrench. My Husky wrench is rated at 300 ft. lbs., but that's a load of horseshit because it can't even break lug nuts. So, is an impact wrench the right...

I need a left headlight shipped to 07865. Please PM me if you have one to sell. Thanks Jaime

For a D1. Can they handle the beating trail riding can dish out? I can get a Bosal cat back system (mild steel) for $169. I'm thinking it will last 4 years max. While most stainless system are guaranteed for life against rusting out (Borla, NRP) they are around $550 - $600. If they can...

My truck to do list this Saturday was: mount new spare tire carrier, fix rear wiper, fix cruise control, fix the horn, see if the ABS self healed. I spent a half day Saturday jerking off with my truck. I really thought I would get SOMETHING accomplished, but I only managed to get my new spare...

I blew my front brake hose yesterday in the Pines. Of course, calling an auto part store for a brake hose on a 97 Land Rover leaves them in total confusion just spouting words like "special order", "2 weeks", "pay up front" etc. It's Sunday, and I'd like to get to work on Monday (don't want to...

I can't make the Pine Barrens run later this month, so I'm heading down there (Wharton State Forest) this Saturday, Nov 6, and would love to have some company. My plan is to meet at the parking lot of the diner at the intersection of routes 206 and 70 at noon. This will give us the opportunity...

My brakes are mushy. Most times when I use the brakes, the pedal goes down farther than it should before the brakes start engaging. If I pump the pedal once more, then the brakes engage normally. I've bled the brakes having my wife pumping the pedal, and got a lot of air out of the line, but...

I've always liked the look of the Mantec snorkle, and have lusted for one for quite some time. However, I thought that $350 was a bit steep. Most of my wheeling is in the Pine Barrens of NJ, and there is a lot of water there. Everytime I go through a deep crossing and see the water wash over...
