Re: Replacing front coil springs

bumber, very similar process with the exception that I use my shop press to install/remove the spring compressor in a similar fashion to the way you mention using the truck and jacks. This has been about as safe a process as I have found when dealing with these springs. As has been mentioned above t...

Re: Replacing front coil springs

yet another front spring change. I can not count the number of people who go down this road. It seems that every one of them has reported no difference or very little, myself included in this group. I even went so far as to have custom springs made but still no change, all it did was break a lot of ...

Re: Expedition imports

yep, I spoke with Scott and Steve earlier this week. The best way is the help ticket system. Sometimes they do get real busy and it takes a bit to get back but they always do.

Re: My Photobucket albums now unlocked

before they were able to lock my PB account I was able to retrieve the photos. This should serve as a reminder for any digital storage. The company can and will eventually hold your memories hostage and demand money to get them back. Save them in several places and hope for the best. I am betting th...

Re: Civilian spark plugs with pinz distributor??

If you are wanting to keep the original distributor cap and run newer spark plugs then options are limited. If you want to convert to a civilian cap, wires and plugs then Expedition imports could help you out. Might want to consider the full conversion to petronix and get rid of the points in favor ...

Re: Plasti dip the pinz?

one of our members is pursuing a product that will help with sound and is somewhat like a plasti dip product. Will have to check and see how he is coming along with that. Hopefully he sees this post.

Re: Choke cover leak - help!

it happens when people over tighten the screws and bend the housing. A problem when folks take on their own work without knowing fully what they are doing (guilty as charged). I have learned over the years that when dealing with a soft metal and a gasket to keep the torque on the fastners to a minim...

Re: Oil api

I use valvoline VR1 20 50. great for these older engines. Same stuff I use in all my older vehicles. I was looking for a higher zinc content and the valvoline kept coming up on all the different boards for the many different vehicles I run.

Re: Broken engine mounts

can't tell you how many motor mounts I have broken, transmission mounts also. Fortunately they are very easy to change and don't require any special skills. Nothing is broken other then the mount. simply remove the two smaller bolts and the one larger bolt. support the engine with a floor jack and p...

Re: 1st ever G wagon treffen in US

You may notice a roof rack on mine. I built it just before the treffen to get a road test for noise and done tell time without a load. Worked great. Now that I am home I put my roof top tent on it. Did some highway miles and seems to be very solid and quiet.

1st ever G wagon treffen in US

Too the little Swiss 230GE to Las Vegas for the first official US G-amboree in the US. Great time seeing how capable the newer G's are one 4x4squared and three others modified to have portals by BRM Motorsports.
