    Land Rover Project: Sexy Back: Love is in the Eye of the beholder.

    Then started the next project. I need to clearance the pan a little and I’m going to armor it as well.

    Land Rover Project: Sexy Back: Love is in the Eye of the beholder.

    Things are nearly done. Redid the Panhard bushings with new poly bushings. The old ones were a bit knackered. Drilled them around the rubber first. Then knocked out the metal bushing with a punch.

    Shop / Tools Effing washing machine that don't.

    I put citrus cleaner in when I wash my really dirty crap. Everything comes out nice and clean. Even oil soaked rags. It dissolves grease and oil.

    Why are people so stupid?

    I think its time to confiscate offenders vehicles. Set them on fire, and start the education at that moment.

    I have poly bushings in my radius arms, and they haven't worn out. I've used poly on a few land rovers over the years and they seems to last alright. And they are cheap enough if you can buy from the source in the UK. I can get stuff in two days with my supplier.

    The originals were rubber. I replaced the originals with rubber. I think the new rubber was not the same as the original. Decided to order some new poly bushings for the panhard. I'll give those a shot, if they end up dying I might go to heim-joints.

    Land Rover Project: Sexy Back: Love is in the Eye of the beholder.

    Finally figured out my death wobble issue. The panhard bar bushings are dead. I just ordered new polybushings. Should be here in a few days. The ones that are in there now were new two years ago. It hasn't even been driven 1000 miles since then. Somehow the originals lasted 192K miles...

    The AC delete pully was eating it up. I'm still in testing phases to make sure its stopped. So far it hasn't chewed it up anymore.

    Alternators

    That seems to be the case for me as well. Land Rover alternators will usually last forever, but once they die and you have to get a new one, they rarely last more than 25K miles. I can usually get around 150K out of a stock unit. I've always converted my vehicles to GM alternators, because...

    Alternators

    I found a 175 amp Alternator on summit racing. Its a CS130D like mine. The only difference is its 175 amps and one wire. Just the charging cable. So, I'm just going to take the alternator back to Oreilly's and get my money back. Luckily we have a commercial account with them and do a lot of...

    Alternators

    I've checked the wiring. There is only 2 wires needed. The battery cable and an ignition wire. All are working. The ignition is hooked to the ignition wire for the injection pump shut off. It fires right up and has power to the everything. The alternators just don't work.

    Need a new commuter vehicle

    Why don’t you look at a Jeep Compass (or whatever the little one is) AWD put a brush guard on it. Good on mileage. AWD and hopefully a real transmission and not a rubber band transmission.

    Alternators

    Ok, is there something wrong with O'Reilly alternators. I've been through 5-6 on my Range Rover. I never drive it. Obviously if you've seen my build thread. I just installed a new one from O'Reilly again under warranty on Saturday. I installed it Saturday morning, it worked fine. I had it...
