Vehicles (17 Jan 2019)
You can now add the vehicles you own to your profile as little icons that appear in your profile and alongside your posts.
This is a bit of an experiment. Take a look under the "REWARDS" menu across the top of the screen for the vehicles "ADD/MODIFY" option.
Let me know how you get on.

I'm looking to soften the ARB back to where it was pre-proflex bushes so I think I still have to fit them.

I have never touched a differential in my life so i’ve read all tips and tricks i could find. Once it was back together it didnt strike me as difficult at all.
Driveshafts out, wheel bearings felt ok.
Diff is out, the lowrange4x4 instructions with me here, good tech right there!
The diff before
During
Read a tip from funkyjimny, i left the thick washers out from the side gears, also swapped the gears around.
Back together
Also mesured the backlash before and after, it was at 6 so i left it as is!
This is where i left the car, had to go home for the day. Putting it back together tomorrow!

I did my first two diffs on SJ without the clock actually, just did them on pure feel. I had lockers front and rear on my SJ but the everyday drive made me remove them eventually. But then i had the ARB's ready, but they never made it into the diffs sadly. Yet..
Locker(s) will greatly improve your offroad capability!
I will start on my car tomorrow.

Fitted the superpro bushings today, and got tired of the original steering wheel so put in another cheap ”omp” wheel. Put in a resistor for the airbag connector

Bolts were pretty rusty, heated them with the induction heater but one snapped off anyway. Doesnt matter i think it looks better without the bar

It will be very noticeable even when it works properly when driving slow and turning.
Tow bars are in the way for sure, but sometimes also they can save your rear bumper.
There are different designs and some tuck better in there.

Had a leaking pipe suddenly, had to make a new. Boughy this neat little tool on ebay, one way valve so I can bleed the brakes my self.
Organized a little in the rear also, fitting some camping gear for the meet.
Tested the tarp the other day also, never camped this way before so got to practice
