Fitted a Detroit No-spin locker in the rear diff of the 101, thanks to GBR Bill for saving the last known NIB for me. I thinks he's saving one for his 101.

Hahaha, you got it eh? Congrats. Always worth a call to Bill if you are looking for the unobtanium.
In 2013, I finished a complete rebuild of my 110. ~2 years later the clutch MC went out and I replaced it with a Lucas branded MC. This past fall, I picked up an SDO Dorman clutch MC. It had been sitting on the shelf awaiting the inevitable. After nursing it home on Friday, I decided it was time for surgery. Yesterday, I swapped it out and am back in business. The adjustment is always a bit fiddly (it a LR thing not SDO thing) but I'm now back in business. My thanks to Lav.

this past week: Heater re-installed, roof rack installed, Clutch slave cylinder and Master cylinder installed, diff fluids changed, Tepui RTT installed, doors; de-rusted, greased, and adjusted. Currently waiting on hydraulic pipe between MC and SC, will install sedimentor today.
Next on the list is new shocks all around and install side mantec exterior side window guards. and then out west after my upcoming month long deployment to the middle east. ( hopefully they will let me in )
Ever feel like you built a ship in a bottle and now you have to get the ship out of the bottle? haha

Keep an eye on the rim around the weld area of the spokes, I have a set of D2 Mach5's that have all started to crack in the rim by the welds. These were new in '07 and were only used in the summer months... so prob only 4 or 5 years real use if that.

Yes, I check them every couple months. From what I heard, it was in some wheels from around 05-07.
Pulled the floorboards out. Metric fasteners in the standard blind nuts...so...always fun.
Replacing the speedometer cable. Working on the fuel tank sender and wiring, working on the shifter, fixing the fastener issue, and probably something else I'm forgetting.
Got the "shipfitters" disease right now. Just going nuts fixing all of the little stuff that has been messed up forever. So far the *only* thing I've actually fixed is replacing the seat belt

Thanks! the truck is currently sucking up my life. I don't work a standard job, so i get extended periods of time off, it has taken a year and a half to get to this point. Its taken a lot of work, more than i originally anticipated, "in for a penny, in for a pound"). Lots of little things that i find that i want to fix OR I get to the truck to an acceptable level and then the gas tank springs a leak or the MC decides to fail.
I'm going to to do a build thread, I'm just focusing on getting the truck on the road before i go back to Iraq, so when i get back i can quickly head west.

Bled clutch, and installed Robert Davis' Sedimenter. Got the truck running and on the road!
Rewired and installed a new backup light. I also removed my 2nd row seats in preparation to install a sleep platform in the back.

Glow plug replacement
Installed a new set of Glow Plugs with my son (10) on Sunday. Easy job but added the time to test each new plug and the old ones to see if they where worth keeping as spares.
The old ones where mostly dead or dead completely. Now I need to charge the battery to top it off after draining it the last couple of weeks trying to start without help.
I purchased Bearmach (China made) delivered to my door $13.00 USD

Took the truck out and tested the new RTT
And now i'am putting it away for a month
And now i'am putting it away for a month
received my IID tool for the LR3 and L322 yesterday - immediately thought i screwed up my LR3 with a "reduced Engine performance" message which was caused by low voltage... i let it idle for 30 minutes and restarted it, gone.
i drove the defender to work and looked at new stereos since mine only seems to have 1/2 the buttons working anymore and just 3 speakers, possibly something to do with the $0.73 i dug out of the inside of it (had to remove its cover to get the change out)

Had a week-old universal joint explode under me. Crawled down, disconnected the propshaft, locked up... and nothing. The ultra-long, ill fitting, week-old diff-lock sender had creeped out of adjustment again. So down I went again, unscrewed the darn thing off... and finally, drove off in 2WD.
