Dorman suspension compressor review
In August of 2016, I installed a new Dorman suspension compressor. I had thought about putting in an AMK, but being short on time and money, I decided to go with the convenience of working with something familiar. There would be no need to remove my sliders, deal with changes in plumbing, and no... -

Lockwood Creek/Miller Jeep Trail
This past Saturday a friend and I went offroading at the Lockwood Creek/Miller Jeep Trail just north of Los Angeles. My friend drove his Toyota Tacoma with 275/70/17 BFG KOs, lots of armor, bumpers, a winch, and a sizable lift, while I drove my LR3 with P265/60/18 Hankook Dynapro ATMs, sliders... -

Coolant expansion tank leak fix
I had a leaking coolant expansion tank since early this year. There would often be a tiny puddle of coolant sitting at the top of the expansion tank, near the bleeder valve. The leak was small enough where I would only need to top up with coolant every couple of months. I had done numerous... -

Transfer case seals
Earlier this year I went off-roading and drove through a fairly deep mud pit. When I exited the pit, there was a strong odor that I thought was transmission fluid. Later at home I looked under the vehicle and discovered that the transfer case front output seal was weeping. I had driven slowly... -

Air suspension compressor motor innards
I disassembled my old suspension compressor to see what could be remanufactured or salvaged. Here are some pictures of the motor assembly. It is difficult to see in the pictures, but the motor was totally burned out and smelled horrible. If a suitable low cost replacement motor could... -

Same compressor in Range Rover?
Over a month ago I began experiencing suspension faults, coupled with loud noises from the compressor. Shortly after, the compressor died, and I purchased a used one on fleabay for something like $65. The compressor never arrived and it took a lot of initiative on my part to get the seller to... -

What to do with old rotors?
I changed my brakes and rotors last week. Any suggestions on what to do with the old rotors? I purchased the new ones via Atlantic British. It seems like a waste to just toss 100 pounds of metal in the trash. :dontknow: On a side note, if you are changing your brake pad sensors, I'd recommend... -

Off Road Fail
Sigh... It happened this past Saturday while doing some rock crawling. Felt the LR3 slipping sideways but I didn't think much of it. I kept creeping through but the vehicle kept slipping sideways. Then somebody yelled that a rock was stuck in the wheel. Tried pulling the rock out but it was too...
