Thanks for letting me know. Appreciate the clarification.

i totally see bugs bunny burrowing a tunnel in the sahara and out pops an umbrella, chair and glass of iced lemonade. they self-arrange, life is grand, and then he realizes he knew he shoulda taken that left toin at alba-qwerkey. would you be wanting to sit on top of the roof on that platform...

heh, the thought did enter my mind.

Any chance you'll do a taller fairing? I inquired last year and heard at the time it was not in your list of considerations. I have an RTT that could use better wind deflection and bug protection. Thanks

replace them all and fix that problem :-)

Hi. To my knowledge they do not. I didn't purchase a set when I bought the tires, since they were intended for my 1999. Are you in town, or nearby?

i had in mind, steering rack is torched, but given your description, that's pretty remote and not worth considering. bushings could be worn, and that's not terrible to fix. if an LBJ is going out, that's obviously good to know, but you may have a few days of downtime waiting for parts. the kind...

cool. i like where it's going in terms of PD. it may lead to fixes no one likes to undertake, but at least you'd know :-)

can you make it happen in a garage if you rapidly compress the suspension on that side, such as by jouncing the bumper or having one or two people step onto the door frame? also, since i always start here, what has changed? were you recently doing any work there (besides the end links)? does it...

new rear springs to address some 22-year-old butt-sag. measured 15/16" higher... not quite as much as i wanted, but i'll take it. thanks mtbtim timmy and sean for the vid. started fairly late afternoon and still was done in time to make dinner. i thought it would have taken longer.

from what you're describing, it sounds like there was some janky wiring done in there with bridging circuits or tapping into circuits one shouldn't use for power. if the headlight circuit is being used for those other devices, i believe it's likely someone got in there and crossed some wires. i...

sorry don't know exactly if it fits or not, but clearance may well be an issue. i think you could diagram it out fairly well to see. we had an outback with which this fitment was cut to about an inch fore-to-aft, if we wanted to open the hatch the whole way. i did a bit of googling and came up...

i recall it took about an hour per side including lifting the vehicle, removing and replacing tires and such. it's honestly not a difficult job with the right tools, and the vid by timmy the toolman and sean you mentioned made it painless. because you're tossing the old ones, then there's no...

when i had mine out for this reason, i noticed that the ball (at the bottom of the stick) needs careful positioning to go back in there properly. also, it's not inconceivable that some debris, such as a little bit of rag or part of the old bushing cup, could have gotten into the transmission and...
