  1. Our ABS system fails safe, as in if anything goes wrong, ABS will not work, but the brakes function as normal non ABS brakes. I knocked my sensor on a rock a few years ago and have been driving without ABS since.
  2. Yeah, given the cost of new OEM pans, most of us repair with plain sheet metal.
  3. A lot of times they are connected to local shops, so no shipping involved. But, still gotta mount and balance.
  4. No, the belts aren't interchangable. If you had a square tooth originally, put a square tooth one back in.
  5. First check for a short on the sender wire. I had mine chafe on the frame and it was reading 1/4 off. Fixed the wire and it read correctly again.
  6. Cheapest listed on tirerack is the Road Venture AT KL78, for $99. They have a few others in the $100-$120 range. Only tires I have bought new (for the Pathys) are MTs, bought a used set of BFG ATs, and still riding on them, but will probably get another set when they do die.
  7. It will probably bolt right on actually, but it might sit a little high. 96 was still D-21.
  8. Buy a roll of screen and some magnet strips. Cut the screen to fit over the entire window and some of the body. Glue the magnets around the perimeter of the screen. Quick and removable.
  9. Looks like the front was cut and flipped for the rear.
  10. With my 88 (no sways) I had to do an emergency lane change at 75mph because some idiot pulling on the freeway came right at me, it swerved just fine. It's kinda fun going down the WV turnpike at 80 around tight corners, I'm sure it scares the hell out of the other drivers watching it lean though.
  11. Yep, I didn't notice any change with the front gone. I did get some body roll on the corners with the rear off, but it's an offroad truck, I'm not trying to drift the thing on the street.
  12. Yeah, both of mine had the stock one. I made a custom one out of 3/16" steel for my 93 using the stock one as a template.
  13. Probably the hard part will be finding a fuel tank, since you can't use the gas tank.
  14. No, that's Super Swamper Thornbirds (er Thornturds).
  15. 3.73 is stock gearing in a lot of vehicles. Jeeps for example, run that stock.
  16. Check your lower bump stops if you are stuffing the wheel to much up front. I know my stockers fell off, so I bought some bolt in ones. Here is a pic from when I changed the broken boot on my CV (have to completely remove it to do so), you can see what all is apart, and where the bump stop is:
  17. That is the biggy being in CA. Here in Ohio it would be no issue. You can get imported low mile engines for pretty cheap. Japan makes people swap in new engines every 60k, so all the used ones get shipped here.
  18. Yep, the original 300s used the same engine, later models were fitted with dual cam heads, which are the ones that won't fit.
  19. Yep, all years of the WD21 like to rust in the same places on the body. Luckily only newer models seem to rust badly on the frame.
  20. Mine was about that bad, I also sheeted over it, but my whole plan was to remove the rear seats anyway, so I didn't bother replacing the mounts for the seats or the belts. I used sheet metal screws to fasten mine, then glassed over the entire area on the inside and sprayed about 2 cans of undercoating on the bottom.
