Thanks R50JR. The first video is actually the reason I found this forum! Very useful info in that.

Just wait till you pull the t-case. That little thing is heavier than the trans. If you have the drum brakes, make sure you get that little spacer block in the center of the diff, into the middle of the locker. Made that mistake on my buddies 95 when we swapped centers between our trucks. Mine has rear disc, his had drums. He wanted my LED, I wanted his open for a locker. We made the swaps in my driveway the night before a week in Moab. Didn't realize that little block needed to be removed from his center and put into mine that was going into his truck. 4 hours down the highway, stopped for fuel and found the right axle seal in his truck died. Got to Moab, replaced the seal and bearing in camp, and a couple days later was leaking again. Got home, replaced seal and bearing again, installed the block and problem never came back. Such fun.

I was soooo close to buying those since I have LE wheels. Read a couple reviews somewhere that complained about how it was a frustrating experience to get those warranty replacements in case they broke. I went ahead and ordered new Warn 29091 hubs. 1 of 2 things will happen in the next few days: I'll fix the 29091 junkyard hubs (2 attempts made) and return the new ones that are being shipped to me or I'll fail to fix the old junkyard hubs and use the new ones. Might try to wait a year and see if I can do a warranty claim on the old junkyard hubs with my new receipt ? and throw those on my other R50. I also learned that ARB is getting behind on their OME coils. At least for the OME 2928 Front HD coils. Bilsteinlifts.com says "Looks like part is on a big backorder now due to covid, about 8-12 weeks, let us know if you want to cancel". I refuse to let that get in the way of this lift since I've already arranged childcare and took off from my night job for this. I went ahead and cancelled that order and grabbed a pair from Ebay. Ebay 2928 coils should arrive next monday or sooner. Either way, I'm starting this project this friday and expect to have it done by the following friday.

No roof rack no spoiler Guess I’ll be trying my hand at painting the hood in the near future... unless I find a good one at the yard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Got my LR9447 and AC spring lift installed. Bilstein shocks in the rear, SC creation control arm brace. KYG struts in the front. 285/75r16 tires. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My old 3.2 diesel r50 flexing it out on the way to Montgomery hut on the west coast. Procomp es326500 rear shocks, would definitely recommend. These require the rear spring to have a free height of at least 400 mm.
