General_Failure posted:Of all the things that could have failed it was the diff? I'm really quite surprised. What lead to that happening? What's surprising is its the REAR diff. Usually on the IFS landcruisers its the front diff that pops all the time. Rear diff could be a myriad of reasons, but a highly likely one is that the pinion bearing spacer from factory is a crush tube that you pinch down and crush to get bearing preload. Problem is the fuckers don't STOP crushing and your bearing preload goes out the window, pinion gets sloppy, doesn't mesh with the crown wheel properly and puts all the load on the tips of the teeth, eventually shattering them off

For your arverage cruiser that goes too and from the mall to the school to soccer practice to home, its never noticible and never an issue. Once you use em offroad with bigger tyres and uprated power it becomes an issue.  Thats the factory spacer. The fix for cruiser diffs is an ARB locker (much stronger forged vs cast diff carrier) and a solid pinion spacer. It also means you wont lift a wheel spin the poo poo out of it and slam it into the ground shattering CV's too. The design of them is a high pinion too- so the pinions high up on the crownwheel for clearance reasons, but it also means they are weaker in reverse.

Any shots of the winch setup by the way? Rear mounted winches always interest me. I'll get some better pictures of it tomorrow but I have this one for now.  We removed the stock bumpers and made new ones out of box tubing, then put the stock bumper cover over it. Front and rear bumpers have a 2" receiver and D rings. We made a plate to hold the winch, it can be mounted it the front or rear in the 2" receiver. The winch is a Warn XT40, a 4000lb winch made for atv's.

On that note I should say that there's a locked gate about 50 feet to the left at that stop sign. No one coming from that direction, ever, which is the only reason I blasted through it.

Testing the waters a bit on the logging roads. A few decent climbs but nothing too wild as there was just me and a buddy in the truck and no backup.

I moved my HD springs to the front and my med duties to the rear as I'm sick of the truck bottoming out on pebbles. I lost some articulation in the front, but atleast it sits level and has good roadmanners up to 80 or so.      Ice/snow driving! Jeez its a lot of fun to throw a 3 ton awd vehicle around on slush.    HDC works pretty well and I have quasi 4 wheel ETC. Just a few more days of playing with the abs controller and it'll be working full force.

I don't know how different that is than what came in the D2's in actual performance, but the fact that even the D2 version does a perfect job of holding speed and a pretty drat good job at keeping your straight is good enough for me. But still, it's largely a party trick. I use it to play with it, not because I actually need it.

D2s iirc have etc on the rear only. the SLABS controller is totally different, theres like 6 plugs, as it does the self leveling bullshit some of those trucks had. Agreed, its a neat party trick, but if you know what you're doing, theres no real need.

I am surprised that your still not wondering all over the road with that lift. Guess it shows some of the engineering or lack of it on these trucks. I am eagerly waiting a computer cover so that the slightest moisture doesn't provoke British electronics into a raging poo poo fit. The snows starting to melt and hopefully the trails start to open up. @Motronic or CSB - Have you heard of GBR Performance? They have better drive train parts for rovers, thinking when spring comes and the lift goes on, I may end up with some new prop shafts. I am only going to do a 2 inch lift, but I figure if I am going to spend some cash, I might as well get some new ones as well. Or maybe just rebuild the current ones? The current ones have very little if any play, so I figure they are still good. BrokenKnucklez fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Mar 10, 2013 |

I don't know about the HDC as I've never been out of the truck when it was doing anything, but I can tell you for sure that traction control is 4 wheel on them. I'd assume that means HDC uses all 4 as well, but who knows with British electronics. BrokenKnucklez posted:Have you heard of GBR Performance? As in Great Basin? They are considered to be decent. I've never bought any of their stuff so I don't know first hand. Why would you be replacing prop shafts if they are greasable and don't have any play?

The only reason I would be replacing would be due to the 2 inch lift planned, I am not sure how much extra stress I would be placing on the shafts.

I don't understand how other shafts are going to help with that. If you want to be worried about anything after a lift, start worrying about axles if you use the extra clearance to put big meat on there.

I'm familiar with GBR. they make good stuff. with a 2", i'd just throw in new neapco joints and call it a day. *mine* is the one that needs the front shaft. its PISSED since I swapped the springs. Tom woods also builds good driveshafts. Motronic: He's talking about going to a double cardan shaft vs the single jointed one now. 108" wheelbase helps the highway drivability. if it were a D-90" or a rrc/Disco 100" Nofuckingway. I regularly tow poo poo with it too. *shrug*

Since I moved to this city (Sacramento) back in June, I've been itching to find a place to go wheeling. Nothing too crazy, just some mud and poo poo. I didn't want to drive too far just to bomb up fire roads. Checked out Prairie City SVRA today, and it was pretty good. Experienced wheelers will probably be bored, but for average rigs it provides plenty of stuff to learn on and get dirty. I took one picture, had a blast. Need to come back with a few friends.

I dropped my truck off a few weeks ago for some warranty work on the engine, took way way longer than expected due to the shop getting completely slammed [21 H1's in line for service or complete tear down and restoration]. I dropped by to check things out and what did I see parked behind my truck?  A LM002, completely original, including the tires. The best part? It was a barn find. The PO traded it for a 90's GMC pickup and an old horse trailer worth about $15,000. It needs some minor work and new tires but it's a pretty neat ride, I'll post more pics when I dig out my camera.

Slow down and figure out what you need a winch for and how much clearance you'll need in the front as well as any other features you may need in a front bumper. You may be interested in something as simple as a factory winch tray or something as elaborate as a high approach angle custom job with bull bars to you can attach limb risers. These trucks can be set up for so many different things that a part that sounds as simple as "winch bumper" can involve dozens of choices.

Shh! It'll hear you! 7,000 miles on the new engine so far. The bumper on my truck retailed for around 1500 dollars with the added ribbing and such.  want to buy a L322? bags are getting to be at end of service, and they arent exactly cheap on the front. Get a REAL trans cooler. I'm hearing these things popping transmissions regularly if you tow with it. Other than that, the only issues I have logged are little poo poo like blower resistors. oh, and its canbus and not the bastardized kwp2000 with extra gently caress off data packets in the system. Geared hub: Nice H1 and LM002.

bwahahahahaa. Silver soldered fuse box. when it dies. I'm building my own. I keep getting them for under 20 dollars so *shrug*. HeVac was rebuilt last december. aaand the etc/abs is from the 99-02 models so its less inclined to kill me since it uses steel pistons instead of plastic.

IOwnCalculus posted:Aren't the LM002 tires ridiculously expensive these days? Yeah, I think the only time a set gets produced is when a owners group does a big batch order with the factory. At least if you want to preserve the speed rating on sand, otherwise I've heard of owners using wider swampers. On another front the Humvee-C/H1 glider kits seem to be a success, AM General got enough deposits and paid in advance orders to start production at the hmmwv plant in south bend next month. I'm guessing they got about 50-100 orders in. Thats good news for me, since that kit uses the latest revision HMMWV parts, a few previously military only upgrades will become available through the standard parts chain. I'm eyeballing the newish 6 piston brake caliper kit to replace the old 1 piston AMC/Jeep ones on my truck. Not a real big difference for off road use but for highway driving getting some extra stopping power would be nice. I asked about the small block 3.2L Turbo diesel they licensed from steyr and that's still a no-go for the moment for public sale.  Got a few pics of the production final product:  It's got a larger lift than a stock HMMWV, it'll fit many drive train options you want to throw into it [with the exception of the latest ford powerstroke I'm told]. They added a hard door option, the aluminum door from early hmmwvs. e-locker front and rear with the upgraded brake system. A blacked out civilian interior from the 04/06 model year. The wheels are a two piece civilian 17" alloy version of the military wheels, they replaced the runflat donut with a beadlock right which makes tire swaps easy. I was hoping to get one at 45,000$ which was around the original rumored price but at $59,000 plus the cost of a donor engine/tranny I'd rather just pop a lift on mine, and do a duramax conversion for around $12-14,000 if I get the spare space Big K of Justice fucked around with this message at 05:37 on Mar 18, 2013 |
