      I highly recommend discos. You really need sway bars in emergency type maneuvers, not cruising the street. With Disconnects you'll still have them on the street. And how long does it really take to disconnect them?

      If you tow at all I would recommend disconnects or just leaving them on.

  9. Warn manual locking hubs vs. Stock auto lockers for the 2001 R50..? Any comments or suggestions? Are they worth spending the cash on them and having to get out to lock up the front?

    1. tdauria

      tdauria

      Im by no means an expert here, all my knowledge is coming from reading posts in the forum when I was making the same decision for my 95. From what I understand the 2001 has drive flanges instead of auto hubs, which act like locked hubs 100% of the time. By installing the manuals you wouldnt be spinning your cv's all the time which will give you a little less rolling resistance and maybe a tiny mpg gain. More importantly it will reduce wear on the cv's lengthening their life which i...

      All of the above plus extra gas mileage. I've never regretted putting them on my 96.

  10. Adios p1320 and p0304! Changed out ignition coil on cylinder 4 last night.. Was getting p1320 Primary Ignition Misfire and p0304.. Cyl#4 Misfire. Of corse the most difficult one to replace. Under the throttle body and behind the air intake we go!! Reste the eheck engine light and keeping fingers crossed. Hope I dont get any more misfires although I've only got three more coils to change if I do. #onebyone # proccessofelimination LOL

    1. Towncivilian

      You didn't have to remove the throttle body, just the air intake tube and the IACV which is secured by two Phillips head screws.

    2. CNAM

      CNAM

      I've done it soooo many times already I think I can remove the throttle body and put it back on with my eyes closed... Codes are still gone!!! WootWoot!

       

  11. Got to work this morning to find out my driver's front tire was in the process of going flat... Still had the spare in the back seat from last weekend's run. Not that I don't usually carry a spare. I am thinking about getting a spare carrier hitch mount. And my exhaust has eliminated the possibility of carring it under the truck where it was originally kept.

    1. Karmann

      Karmann

      What about your exhaust made the stock carrier inaccessible?

    2. CNAM

      CNAM

      I ran the dual tail pipes where the stock tire carrier holds the tire under the trunk... I'll pm you a pic.

      Congrats! Let us know how it works out after the mods.

  18. So this afternoon I plan on changing out my front sway bar end links and sway bar frame bushings. I have been hearing some unpleasant sounds from the front (as well as the rear) rattling, clanking, metal 2 metal, popping... etc. Looks like the replacements are easy to DIY..? Any thoughts, comments or suggestions. Is this as straight forward as it seems to be? Is there anything I should be aware of before starting? Do I need to adjust the camber of the front wheels as part of this repair? Wil...

      dirtymike

      you wont have to mess with the camber, i had to cut one of my links off because it was seized, use lots of pb blaster and should be good to go!

  19. To GoPro or not to GoPro?.. Is NOT the question...GoPro vids coming soon!

    1. ferrariowner123

      What other option is out there? Contour shut down, and everything else doesn't even get close in terms of quality and ease of use!
