Shoot me a PM, and I'll get you taken care of. Mike

Got my access covers cut this morning for the cooking light setup. Tonight I'm going to try to drill the 2 larger holes for the light, and switch. In addition to those I should be able to drill, and tap the additional 8 holes to secure the access covers. Then I should be able to powder coat the...

Moving onto the next rear bumper/tire carrier mod. There have been a couple times that some sort of lighting would have been great, and that leads me here. I picked up some microphone stand parts along with some Cat Eye LED's, and a waterproof switch that I plan on mounting to the tire carrier...

The tray for the tire carrier is now powder coated, and installed. I really like the way it turned out, and now I get to see how durable the powder coat right is.

Having the same thing for several weeks now. Finally getting tired of the disappointment.

Onto the next small project. I've had a 4xInnovations rear bumper for the last couple years, and love almost everything about it. I decided to get the fold down cook tray, and the latching system is the only feature that I never cared for. It doesn't latch very well, has a ton of play in it...

I haven't replaced the steering yet, but I see that in my future. Mike

In with the new. I'm very fortunate to have access to a powder coat line through my work, and it makes powder coating quick and cheap. The sway bar was sanded, acid sprayed, and powder coated flat black, and the link were painted a custom color called tri-smoke. I went with all new OEM parts...

I've this issue for several months, and the reason is a PM. The PM if from 1969, and has been locked for over 5 decades. Comes up on my Android phone, iPad, Amazon Fire, Dell laptop, and Dell desktop. Mike

The support email in main post doesn't work anymore. @Michael I have an issue with my inbox, and 1 PM that I can't delete. Can I have this taken care of? Mike

Out with the old. I started working on the front suspension last night for some much needed work. I was able to remove the sway bar, brackets, bushings, and sway bar links in about an hour. Took me more time to sand the sway bar to bare metal than to remove everything. Today I'm picking up...

Thank you! It's doesn't see much drive time anymore, and we keep talking about selling it. Who knows what'll happen when we bring the next project home. Mike

This past weekend was only the second time in nearly 2 years that I took out the 4runner. With long commutes for my job, and my my wife biking/running to work. The 4runner has been a lot of sitting, and not much driving. This past weekend we take a 3 hour drive to the Cascade Lakes area for a...

You can, and I just returned your PM. Mike

Seems that all the issues we had were related to bad t-stats. We had 2 OEM stats's that were bad, and 1 aftermarket OEM stat as well. After getting the Rover shipped to Oregon I was able to install the new inline stat, and hoped that would work the first try. I neglected to drill an 1/8" hole at...

She's purring like a kitten again! I'll have some details soon on the stupid issue we had. Mike

I'm sure I could make it cheaper than a local welder in my area. I work for a very large restaurant furniture fabricator, and have access to a full weld shop. I can take a rough drawing, and have my programming guys put it into a DXF file. Mike

Not sure if I missed this, but is your rear bumper an RTE? I'm in the market for a new rear on my D2, and really like the look of yours. Mike

Almost four months after having the Rover delivered to Oregon I was able to start working on it. I've been spending so much time remodeling our house since buying it in October that I haven't spent a single minute on the Rover until this past weekend. Most of you know about the ongoing issues...

I really hope the inline thermostat fixes everything for me. If not we'll be running the ghetto stat mod for a while. I have a brand new radiator, hoses, water pump, 180* stat, and added Water Wetter. Still running at idle over 215*, and maybe 1-2* cooler when driving. I can tell you that my...
