    Greasing the Rear Driveshaft

    Lots of Driveshaft posts in Search but I didn't see one specifically on my question. I had to replace the zerk in the U-Joint on my rear shaft, the original DII shaft, because even with a new coupler the grease would just go around the zerk and not in the zerk. I replaced w/ a 6mm and now the...

    DII front Shocks install write-up

    I recently changed the shocks on my 00 DII and wanted to share some tips and pics on the front shocks. There is a write-up in the Tech section but looks like it is for a D1. I know this is fairly basic for those who have done it, but may help some first timers like I was. The first thing you...

    Shocks for a DII

    Looking for a good set of stock length shocks for a 2000 DII SD7. I have SLS, but not ACE. It barely fits in my garage now, by about 1/2" clearance, so I'm not looking for anything more than stock length. Thanks

    Max tread depth difference per axle ?

    Is it OK to run two new MT/R's at 19/32 on one axle and two used ones at about 14/32 on the other as long as they are always on the same axle when rotated or is this asking for Transfer Case problems? I found a good deal on some 255/70/16 Goodyear MT/R's on craigslist from another D2 owner. 4 of...

    Hello, I just mounted a used LR Brush Guard on my 00 DII. I thought I lined up the crush cans as the pdf instrux specify, making sure they were on straight but now the very bottom ends of the bar touch the bumper and the sides are not lining up with the anti vibe brackets. See attached pics...

    Trying to replace the right side air bag. I have the axle dropped and the jack stands on the frame. The bag is already deflated so I haven't disconnected the compressor air hose valve. I have the clips off the top but I'm not sure how far I can compress the bag without stretching the air...

    SLS Air Bags for 2000 Disco II

    Mine deflate to the bumpstops every once in a while when parked then pump back up as soon as it's started. I just noticed in the last 2 weeks that I can hear air coming out from the right when I turn it off, only occasionally, not all the time. I've only had the truck 6 months, 63K miles on...

    Brush / grill guards aftermarket

    Does anyone have recommendations for another type of brush guard other than the LR OEM ? After reading some of the discussion boards comments on the OEM I wonder if any of the aftermarket ones don't require cutting the bumper ? I am considering the Manik guard here or the one available from...
