Holy crap!!!! You need to ground that thing NOW!

Still no pictures!

What you probably need is a mirror mount like this.

I wonder if you could mount/ have welded a bracket onto an exhaust clamp?
Maybe not the prettiest, but just an idea I had while trying to find a solution for you.

The most impressive one I have ever seen was a bout two years ago. The guy bought a brand new Juke, he got to the end of the main front driveway of the store after buying it, turned onto the four lane freeway service road into the far right lane and and got rear ended by a vehicle that decided at the last minute to go from the far left to far right lane into the lane he had just entered. He owned the vehicle for about 50 feet.
It was totaled and IIRC had 8 miles on the odometer.
Oh my.
I dont think there's any one upping that.

Oh no....

Poor thing. Looks nice.
I like Scouts but they're too big for my trails.

Friend of mine's friend was hit in the leg and will recover.

Check all your fluids including diffs. Don't want water in there.

As a old CJ 5 owner just remember if it doesn't say Willys on the tail gate it aint a jeep
:rofl: It's easy enough to stick that on.

I want to see one in a solid axle pathy.

You'll hate it if you don't regear.
Your engine will be incredibly strained.

This isn't gonna be like those pink stretched Jeeps in Vegas right?

IIRC they have some electrical gremlins. JP magazine just did a little article on them.
Not a fan of the ZJ, but whatever works for you. Lots of people aren't fans of wheeling stock Early CJ5s and here I am.

An insurance company decided to repair the vehicle instead of total it......
That sounds very very expensive for them!

Why leaf spring the rear? Linked coil spring is far far superior than leaf springs and it's already there.
Properly set leaf springs can flex just as well as coils, but I agree with Kingman here.
Why leaf spring the rear when coils are already there?

I always use a torque wrench. My JEEP's steel wheels are very sensitive to over tightening. The first set of wheels got wallowed out by a tire shop over tightening them.
But then in 20 years on my last Pathfinder, I don't think any used a torque wrench on the lego wheels.
In the end I vote torque wrench.

They worked decent when new, but that was a long time ago. Many either don't work by now, or are so worn out that it really doesn't make a difference.
I'd check that all the connections are tight, at the switch and the shocks first if you want to get it working.

Sweet! Love your Terrano and so glad that you were able to bring it with you!
I'm impressed at your milage. I thought I was hot stuff getting 24 highway!

I love my Geolandars. They'll pretty old (10 years), but they do great off road, and the road noise isn't too bad. I think Yokohoma has a more street friendly version of them and a slightly more off road friendly version. If they still made the exact set I run right now I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.

Yes. I see LHD cars out in LA and at car shows.
Gov't doesn't care AFAIK (shockingly).

Well granted ofcourse...I don't know..are regular people allowed to drive around in the US using right hand drive? I guess she could always contract out to the govt for carrying mail in extreme conditions..

If you're towing or have a FULL truck just turn OverDrive off, you won't notice much of a MPG hit.. I recently drove to Oregon to tow a Datsun 1200 back. On the way down I got 14mpg cruising at 60mph with me and two people. On the way back, with U-Haul trailer with said 1200 and the same two people, I turned OD off for the entirety of the trip and got 12.5mpg.
And anytime you're "off road" you should be in 4L. 4H is basically for snowy roadways.
"Off road" is open to interpretation.
If I used 4lo on a lot of the trails I like it would take me days....
