A little update: I am trying to get this thing USABLE by the end of this week ?. I am getting closer to having it functional minus the slide out kitchen at the back. Still have a ways to go in a week though.

My trailer started out life as my work trailer for my construction business. I have since moved on an got a job in the public sector and my trailer was just sitting. I fuigured why not turn it into a camp trailer for my wife and I and our 3 kiddos! Basic plan starts with stripping the walls...

I think you are on the right track. The phaser problem with the 5.4 3v was engines wasn’t a phaser problem at all. That was just the symptom of the clogged tiny oil passages that lubricated them. Porting and polishing the oil journals and the high volume high pressure pump is a great starting...

I just picked up a grand that is the twin to yours! I absolutely love it. I am working on Getting a few mechanical things worked out and then I can’t wait to get it out and explore. Good looking ZJ!

In response to what martinjmpr and Hillbilly Heaven have said, it is about recovery gear and traction. I have to disagree about a few points however. Ground clearance can be better in a 2wd as there is no front differential in the way. Also, depending on where you live there can be a big...

I have a 2wd crewcab dually. I go on dirt backroads in the desert, gravel forest roads and even some two track roads and I do just fine. It's all about knowing the limitations of your truck. Is a 2wd dually optimal for off road? No. But I need it for my daily life and it gets the kids and I...

So my 2002 Disco just started doing something strange. I drove about 240 miles on the highway this weekend. At about 140 miles, the fuel gauge dropped to 0 and the reserve light came on. Then it popped up to about half a tank. About 5 minutes later it went to 0 with the light and the popped...

I think that is what happened to my stock bumper. I have only had it for about a month but the front bumper cover was cracked in multiple places when I got it so I just took it and the factory fog lights off and have been driving it with just the bumper frame. Sent from my K88 using Tapatalk

Kcabpilot, that was partly why I was thinking about using the stock mounting and bumper frame to build off of. I am not really into rock crawling. I am looking more at doing mostly two track type roads with the occasional trail run that may be a bit more difficult. I am keeping my disco stock...

I was meaning using the metal bumper behind the plastic facia and weld plate off of that to make a ARB type bumper since it has the grille contours already stamped into it. My bumper facia was all cracked and so I took it off and was looking at the actual bumper frame and I got curious. I know...

Has anybody ever used the factory front bumper sub frame to build a bumper off of, and is that a bad idea? I was just thinking about the possibility of using it as a backing plate so to speak to weld onto. Don't be shy about telling me it's a horrible idea. That's why I'm asking! Thanks Sent...

Good to know. Thanks Cupboard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
