    center console goes in tomorrow after I figure out how to 'fix' the (lack of) mounting holes in the plastic. I need to order a new sticker that includes the center diff lock instruction.

    Bought a socket for valve cover bolts. Apparently they work loose and its suggested to tighten them every oil change. 1/4dr, 12pt, 5/16 deep socket. $3 each or buy 3 get 7 free..

    Really shows you what the margin on a die cast piece of metal is...

    I find "convenience fees" to be quite the contrary

    Just seeing this build. I'm an ex-Land Rover guy myself. Let me know if you have any questions. www.discoweb.org is more information than you could ever use and there are some great rigs on there. Your '99 D2 is somewhat of a rare find, the body styles are actually split in 1999. But you also have a CDL which is great.

    The values on these trucks have recently been turning around, especially clean D1s

    Probably both to be honest. Make a decent margin on the set, make a load more on the "but I only need the 10mm socket" crowd.

    Haha nah, I bought this. IDK, first thing that comes to mind is a cover for the center console?

    Trying to decide what suspension to get. I want to keep it close to stock height with front and rear SOS Concepts bumpers.

    Current ride height
    Passenger:
    Front - 19"
    Rear - 18.5"

    Driver:
    Front - 19"
    Rear - 18.5"

    45mm is only like 1.75" so with the bumper(s) it would likely be really close to stock height

    The way I read it is that it will be 1.75" with the weight of the bumpers. The guy I'm talking to at Dobinsons isn't much help on the subject, he just referred me back to the catalog page where it references bumpers.. Typical salesman, doesn't know anything about what he's selling other than what the paper says. I am leaning more and more towards another company that is willing to help, and has more options.

    Had to find a bolt with a flat top that fit in this inset... So I made my own.
