Three years ago, yes three years ago, i removed the abs pump and associated wiring. Well i may have snipped one too many wires. Now that the crawler is about to be used again, i am finding things not working. First the fuel pump had no ground, grounded to frame and that works fine. But the...

I still lurk around on here even though I currently do not have an RBV to wheel. What I do have, even though a Jeep, is at least a cool Jeep. I have replaced my explorer with a 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, or LJ. In family since new and I know all of its long list of issues. Although the...

I am still old school in the fact that I do most of my camp cooking on a coleman green propane 2 burner stove. The last couple times I used it, however, I noticed that it only burned on one setting... hellfire. I tried a new regulator and am having the same issue. Has anyone else dealt with...

I have eliminated the ac system as well as the IAT diaphragm on the air box lid. Do I need to retain the check valve on the vac lines for the heater mode to remain functional?

Other than a write up on TRS I am not seeing very many posts on mounting an orbital valve to a 91-94 for full hydraulic steering. I need some ideas on where/how others have mounted their orbital valves. Again, needs to be on a TTB gen rbv frame. thanks!

Maybe I have lost my searching saavy in my old age but I cannot seem to find a single 'good' thread showing chevy 63 leafs under the rear of an Explorer. I am contemplating running them in the rear of my sport to get a few inches of rear stretch and still use an inexpensive factory leaf. If...

Doing some early morning searching did not get me very far... If anyone could share some threads or pics of mounting an orbital valve on a first gen I would greatly appreciate it. Trying to gather as much info as I can before I dive into finishing my full hydro setup.

I did some searching earlier today but did not see anyone posting the same issue I am having.. Purchased my 03 Sport Trac with the RH front window inop. Will not not roll down from driver master switch or passenger door switch. I picked up a new motor and removed the regulator to install it...

I am putting together a week long camp and offroading trip this coming may and am looking for forest roads or ohv trails in and around the gwnf or mon national forest to eat up some hours on road days between parks. I know there was a group on here who frequented that area as I tried to make a...

I finally got the Atlas installed, I am running a 1310/1350 flange on the front output. I had a 1350 DC front shaft from a super duty cut down to use in the front. After having to modify the A4LD shift cable bracket to clear the shaft I got it bolted up. And thats where we have a problem...

I need to see what others have used ford coil buckets when swapping in a fw axle into a first gen. I am sure I have overlooked the perfect thread but I have been searching for a few days with no luck. I either run into broken picture links or threads that stop before the build is complete...

I am looking for pics/threads of mounting twin/triple stick shifters to the A4LD transmission. I have searched on here, TRS and Pirate with little luck. If anyone has info they could share it would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I was an hour ago, managed to get home. Idle started to drop, had to hold the throttle down slightly to keep it running but then it sounded like it had dropped a few cylinders and eventually shut off. Restarted several times but once again shut off. CEL was on briefly. Managed to get...

Contemplating something and looking for some real world advice. Searched a little on here and TRS but thought I'd ask anyway.. To be as specific as possible, is anyone running 33" tires in a vehicle with a 5r55e with 4.88 gears? Planning a build, need some advice.. thanks in advance!

Did a few searches but didn't really come up with anything.. Has anyone seen or done customer corner guards, taillight guards, or fab'd your own tail light housings? Looking for ideas..

crawling up some rocks at Chaos Offroad Park in Capon Bridge, WV yesterday and and I bounced, came down, BOOM.. so my buddies who were spotting me checked for a busted ujoint or shaft.. nothin. I go to move forward, front driveshaft spins but the front axle shafts do not. hmm. so I drive off...

Had a rubbing/grinding noise coming from the LH hub, popped the dial off and saw some milky grease so I tore the whole knuckle down and cleaned/repacked the wheel bearings, spindle bearings, cleaned off the caliper mount, wheel hub, and disassembled the mile marker hub to clean it. When putting...

So my wallet has reached that point where expensive upgrades have to stop and instead I gotta make the best with what I've got.. quick run-down, EB44 swapped front with coils, RAs, 78-9 RA brackets, 7* C bushings, trac bar, rod end and tube steering. Camber is good, toe is good, i know...

ok.. its the holiday season and i like buying myself stuff for the truck. so i thought it would a good idea if we had a post of 'affordable' gear, tools, accessories, or any item that an offroader shouldnt be without.. at a price of $100 or less so lets see em..

Did some searching, didnt see anything, then again i couldnt figure out exactly how to word it either lol month or so back I went to slide the heater lever to defrost but was unable to get past the floor setting. same thing happened a few years back and a little persuasion got it working but...

picked up a detroit for my front 44 at too good of a price to pass up.. problem is it sat in a diff for a LONG time.. has some rust on the half that wasnt buried in gear oil. most of it is on the rough cast where the ring gear attaches. any ideas on how to clean it w/out damaging anything?

Background.. vehicle has not been on road in over a year, vehicle was started, ran, driven short distances up until 7 months ago. Weird stuff that happened today.. put new battery in vehicle, new battery terminals, key in on position all lights in dash illuminate, door chime works, dome...

Ever since I completed SAS I have been chasing down why I have a slight bit of positive camber. When you jack up the truck and take a wheel off the ground the bottom of the wheel moves out, slightly, on both sides. When you let the jack down the positive camber is gone. Back the vehicle out...

so when i did the sas the camber on the front wheels was a little off.. tops of tires leaning outward. i drove it anyway.. well 1000 miles later im starting to see slight wear on the outside tread. talked to the guy who does my alignments and he said to try putting known stock bushings in...

apparently the SOA and full length add a leaf were too much for the rear dshaft.. locked my brakes in traffic going downhill and the rear slip seperated causing the front and rear shaft sections to beat the crap out of the underside of the truck. removed and drove home using the front axle...

after the soa swap I had zero vibrations from the rear end. this past weekend I added a cut main leaf to my leaf pack to get the rear level with the rear again. when doing so I forgot to unbolt the dshaft from the rear flange so when I dropped the axle the slip yoke came apart. no big deal...

I had the pass side rear wheel arch 'repaired' a few years back but its already come back through and needless to say the tires have caught the body once or twice and made it worse. Did some searching but wasnt able to find much info on repairing or modifying the rear wheel wells on a 2 dr...

It use to be something that only happened once in a while, but today it seemed to be occurring more often. At start up the truck sputters, no CEL, give it some gas it eventually clears up. If I go straight from start to dropping it in reverse sometimes it stalls, starts right back up. I have...

For some reason the drivers coil likes to slide out of my duff sas buckets. front diff sits straight under the vehicle, coil lines up great, no issue at all with the passenger side. I thought about adding aother retaining strap to the front side of the bucket but wondered if anyone else had an...
