RustyButt: The only place to disconnect the antenna is at the stereo.

Currently switching mine to the windshield only. I have broken my fender antenna too many times.

As an ordained minister I will have to register my dislike of the entire repo business. I think they should make the guys that approved the loans do the reposessions. That would make for much more interesting TV and a better lending environment. If anyone needs some church sanctioned marryin' I perform my services at The Native New Yorker by appointment only. The marriage will be cheaper if you schedule your service during happy hour.

Air rules. Nicely done.

Thanks for lighting up my day K! The flashlights are awesome Fleurys - That was from me. I had Steeevo send it straight to you so I wouldn't have to ship it twice. I couldn't believe some of those rigs when I saw them in action.

I usually cut a slit in the rubber boot where the wiring harness comes through the firewall and then pull the wire under the dash.

Thank you for the wonderful box tops K! It's under our tree so I have to wait until the 25th to open it.

The body mounts on the 4wd D21 are about 1.5" taller than the 2wd D21 and the WD21. A 3" BL on a 4wd D21 is the equivalent of a 4.5" BL on a WD21.

I just now saw this. Nice looking truck (even if it doesn't have a frame). RedneckDave lives out your way and I love playing around in the Hassayampa just West of Wittman. It's easy stuff, but there is a lot to see out there. We should get together with Dave and head out soon. I went out there with Beastpath earlier this year, but the river bed changes with every storm which keeps it interesting.

HERE is what you need.

Here you can visit snow and mountains if you are so inclined. Then you get to go back home and it's 70 degrees and sunny.

I have one I'll let go for $100 + shipping. I had it on my old D21.

I have seen the VH45 in a WD21 swap and I would strongly recommend against anything like it. You're looking at having to build new frame rails, relocate the firewall and swap out the entire harness and fuel pump. That is after you get all of the drivetrain stuff to mount up which is an adventure in itself. I would personally like to have the VG33ER. Shaping or cutting the hood is much easier than building a new frame.

Welcome! I met Dave at a trail cleanup this weekend and suggested he head over here for some heckling. The area we were cleaning up is just around the corner from his first two pics. I already warned him about the search function so I don't think we'll have to set the dogs on him for that one

So you're not going to give me my mansion for Christmas?

Sounds like fun. Count me in with my PM.

Very cool. I can't wait to see it extensively populated.

I'm pretty sure that ALL of the D21/WD21 DRUM h233s had the thrust block. The thrust block from the ARB cannot be shorter than the stock unit or the preload would be off. You could get lucky, but I would just grind off 1/8" (I said 1/4" before, but 1/8 will be sufficient) from each shaft and not worry about the block unless you are pulling the diff apart. All three drum third members that I have taken apart had the thrust block. One open from an '87, one lsd '91 and one was an open from a '91. The only third member that I have disassembled from a disc equipped vehicle did not have a thrust block.

When you swap in the disc axles don't forget you will need to remove the thrust block from the inside of your carrier. If you don't feel like ripping into it you can get away with grinding down the ends of the axle about 1/4" on each side. The disc axles don't need the thrust block for preload since they have two bearings on the outer end of the shaft.

Effff Yeah! You only missed one thing, WTF is the next challenge? I would have accepted a picture of a spare on the rear carrier. For 95% of us that is the only time a wheel is going to be leaving the ground.

Sorry. I didn't know that there were rules. It seems that this game will go nowhere fast at the current rate.

Next: Your pathfinder with at least one wheel off of the ground.

I really like the Felpro gasket for this application. It should be nearly identical to OEM and it might be cheaper at your local auto parts store. I also like the copper RTV, but the good metal gaskets shouldn't need it. Paper exhaust gaskets are crap.

Working fine for me all week.

I have at least one spare stock CL if you are interested. I could ship it straight to Grassroots if we worked something out.
