Stolenheron's 04 D2 thread

Actually, don't remove the headlight, the ground is on the radiator support frame, between the light and the airbox.

Any chance your left front steering knuckle is wet with oil?

I had the same three amigos. After replacing the abs sensor they were still there. It turned out to be the wheel bearing.

Sorry to interupt, but is this ground the same on a 00 Disco?

You replaced the sensor, but not the bearing? I would never do that. Buy the bearing, it comes with a sensor. You can try the sensor first, but I would almost always think the bearing is the culprit. I can't imagine the sensor going without the bearing having been the root cause.

In my case, the sensor tip was clearly damaged.

Today I did some exploring and driving through Beulah, Halawaka, and Mechanicsville Alabama. I also ended up running into the GA border at the Chattahoochee river.

yesterday at Beulah "beach" I managed to get the Rover stuck in a rut trying to avoid a mudhole and I ended up sliding into the damn hole. Luckily there was a lifted ford excursion near by and he happily pulled me out after we looped 2 tow straps together. does anyone know how to loosen up 2 stuck together straps? soap and water?

i'm down in Dothan this summer and there's no wheeling except some redneck mud boggin'. if you're gonna wheel the next few weekends give me a shout and i'll make a trip up to the plains

i'm heading home to SW florida this weekend and will be there for 2 weeks. no more "wheeling" in alabama for a while.

What a mighty fine looking 04' you got there. I want to get one exactly like that. Ft. Myers? I live in Miami! I have family there but have not seen any D2s there.

I go to school at Auburn Univ in Alabama so I'm only in town for a few months a year. I'll be back in FM next week.

I did the same thing in Afghanistan but it was 3 straps, and several 16,600lb 1167 Humvees. those straps never came apart again. ever.
