I just had less to type... You'd have to check with 88 as to whether these prices are anywhere near current. I'm not sure as to when these partslists were published. Even if they're 1-3 years old, that JY is still charging you brand new prices (or above) without the benefit of having new bushings, etc. ... :contract: I'd go with 88's suggestion ~ You can trust that he'll get you a good one if one's available, and shipping shouldn't be that bad via The Big Brown Truck. With the money you save you can afford new bushings... and a sixer or two.

Looks to me like they're a little "pricey" for a used panhard. Here's the rundown for a panhard from the dealer courtesy of 88. Notice the bushings are included with a new one ~ no telling what the ones from JY's are like.

That's one heck of an adaptor ! They're installing offset studs for you to bolt your wheels up to, where with a traditional spacer you should install longer studs ~ having the spacer in there cuts down on the amount that your original stud goes into the wheel... sometimes a dangerously little amount of threads for the lug nut to try & lock on to. :eek: Personally, I'd use neither. Buy the right wheels in the first place, IMHO... -thnkboutit-

Here it is... D/L away. The sunroof is on #11, BTW. I don't know if you have dial-up, cable or whatever... just thought I'd let you know which one it was on in case you're slow downloading... :type: Thanks for the kudos, it's basically stock, I've had it 16 years. About to start modding it abit... great rigs ! Parts List Thread

Here you go, hope this helps. BTW, this is available courtesy of 88 in a pinned thread here, all ya gotta do is download... :type:

Thanks Mr. P ....

Don't even think about using wheel spacers... doing it through the correct backspacing is the only way to go, IMO. Seems to me I've seen disclaimers or warnings regarding using spacers either with alloy wheels or for offroad use. That would be enough for me to stay away from them... my .02 -thnkboutit-

Yeah jj, not sure if I saw pics or a video of your rig, or someone elses ~ I know it was blue ~ and thought the same thing... they'd look good on my rig, too. I'd rather go aluminum for less unsprung weight, but really like the looks of the 94's... and the price is right, too. How long have you had them? Are they holding up well, no rust, etc. ? Hopefully being steel they're a little less maintenance intensive than alloys... Hey jcollins... how do you like your new Kenwood? I have Kenwood in mine & my home ~ I like their equipment.

I was thinking along the same lines in the other locker thread. One of these up front with my Warn manual hubs, keeping the LSD in the rear. As long as you had manual hubs, the selectability of the ARB unit becomes a moot point, other than in-seat convenience. At half the price of the ARB, I can get out of the driver's seat, which I do now anyway to lock my hubs. Onroad manners wouldn't be compromised and offroad capability would be vastly improved. Costs would be kept lower by not having to change to an open rear diff to accomodate a locker there as well. The only drawback I can see is steering feedback in situations where you're not sure whether you're going to need your 4X4 or not... a situation that comes up all to often, especially on unfamiliar trails ~ you lock 'em in & find out you could've gone through it in 2X no problemo. Not as good as having both front & rear locked, but the above combo I feel would satisfy all but the most hardcore of offroaders. My only question would be: What happens when you need 4X in the winter on a city street or highway? I'd think it'd have to be all but unsteerable in certain situations. Any user testimony regarding this ? -thnkboutit- Thanks for the link & the offer of help in procuring these, DB...

Nice idea Grim... I've seen pics of a red 4runner that had been modded that way ~ looked pretty good from what you could see in the pics, although none were close up enough to see how well finished it was. The post about that monster Pathy in here just a little while ago was cut similar to your Photoshop chop, too... :cool2: I don't blame the guy for deleting your posts, wheelman... #1. You don't know anything about the product he's selling. Just because a similar product (Kryptonite's) has been found to be easy to pop, it doesn't mean it's the case with these, although it certainly could be. How do you know that they're worthless? Buy 'em & give us a report, put your money where your mouth is. #2. Your flame job response. You talk about his typo with Mercedes as if it's important... then proceed to attack his Mother in your reply... how juvenile and uncalled for. The man has a right to defend his items (and Mother) from unwarrented attack on his site, and is correct ~ an E-mail could have brought this to his attention without a public flaming in his Guestbook. More than likely would've gotten a less defensive posting by him, too. As far as my comments go, IMO you put your ignorance out here for all of us to see... hope you wear it proudly.

Oh, to be new enough for OBDII... :sniff:

You can follow the old Pony Express Route through central Nevada, too. Info is easy to find about it & the Butterfield stage routes as well. I'm in Yuma right now, only about 30 miles from Buttercup Valley in the dunes. They run from down in Mexico all the way north to Glamis and beyond. Just make sure you don't time your visit with a holiday ~ unless you enjoy the company of 200,000-300,000 people. That's about average for the dunes on any holiday other than the 4th of July ~ too hot that time of summer, all you'll see are smugglers then... :secret:

I concur, the 2-doors (to me) just have nicer over-all lines to them. Besides, I drive it ~ I don't have to climb in the back unless I want to. Although I've had passengers that have gotten kind of claustrophobic by not having a "real" window back there to look out of...

Another 2-door, right on!

Actually, Rusty might've finished better than he did if not for the idiocy of Jimmy Johnson & Tony Stewart ~ they got into each other right at the end forcing him to drop a couple of places... see the pic above, taken just as things started to happen. Darn near took Martin out, too. There's 13 cars stacked in that pic ~ just racin'...

Same thing, different wording...cv's were never mentioned.

Rusty finished 10th ~ if that's not competitive, I don't know what is. He & Martin were running 7th & 8th right up 'til the end. Anybody in the top ten had a chance giving Daytona's notorious last lap mishaps. So, how do you feel about the truck series now that Toyota's in it ? Do you consider Darrell Waltrip a "traitor" for doing their commercials ? As far as Gordon being one of the "home state boys", I guess moving from California to take advantage of younger starting ages doesn't fall into the equation for you. I suggest you study your NASCAR driver history a little more... -study- Gordon's a very talented driver, doesn't mean I have to like him. I can appreciate talent in any sport ~ take Muhammed Ali, for example. Fantastic boxer, no doubt. But the best fight I ever saw him in was when Ken Norton broke his jaw... no interview with him after the fight ~ I loved it. :X Some people you just "love to hate", you say potato... -argue-

Highest Car Mileage A 1966 Volvo P-1800S owned by Irvin Gordon of East Patchogue, New York, USA, had covered in excess of 3,572,342 km (2,219,751 miles) by March 2004. The car is still driven on a daily basis and covers over 160,000 km (100,000 miles) per year, thanks in part to being driven to numerous car shows and events in Europe and the USA.* I actually met this guy when he came through Wells, Nv. back in the mid 90's. He gave me an autographed pic with the (then) current mileage on it, just for being in BFE & knowing what a P1800 was! I still have it packed away in a box somewhere... * Quote from Guinness Book of Records

So, let me get this straight, mzxtreme... you're a Ford fan that roots for a guy that drives Chevy's ?

163k and counting...

Me too, US Wheels model 94's I think...

I imagine that's long enough for it to cycle through pretty well & let the oil warm up to ease draining... -thnkboutit-

Welcome to NPORA. Try looking in the "garage", there's threads pinned there at the top regarding various ways to lift your Terrano and what to expect as far as difficulty, etc. A search will result in a lot more posts on the subject as well. One of the most popular ways to bring the rear up is to swap in slightly modified Jeep Grand Cherokee front springs (have to be from one with a V8). I don't know how readily available they are where you're at, though. Ford (F-150, I think) springs have been used as well, but with mixed results. About the most you can get up front without changing the upper control arms (UCA's) to aftermarket ones will be about +/- 2" to 2 1/2" or so. Beyond that you run into problems with ball joint angles, alignment problems, etc. ~ new UCA's are designed to aleviate that. Any questions? Post away, that's what it's all about... :type:

Now just paint it all black & put some Legos on it, and it'll be great looking...

Saw that over on the PCoA boards...
