Can I drive it at the Conclave? you gotta hook me up with somethin'

Of course you can.

[Fivespddisco]

Tires look great.

I must admit, at first I thought you were insane to try and fit them. But now - holy cow.

you are correct on all accounts.

Thank you

Wow Justin! I'm still trying to recover from my Rover addiction since mine commited suicide. You are not helping..........................I believe the term for people like you in psychological circles is an "enabler"

Springs are still working great as well as my shocks. Amazing how i didn't have to buy some poser crap to feel cool and look cool. That's about the extent of your work. I guess working on a P38, you might actually have to make something, instead of bolting it on.

Expedition Portal's List of Cool Parts So I can Be Part of the Coolness:

• Bloated Parts Budget
• Roof Rack
  
  • Its just so cool, even though I'll never carry anything up there.
  • Where else would I mount my thousands of dollars of lights?
• *HAM Radio
• Electric Fridge
  
  • because my beer won't be as cool in a cooler with ice.
• GPS because back East its easy to get lost on the 1 mile trail system.
• Gotta be a Warn winch or I'm not going to be cool
• Gotta get a TDI engine because the cost of the swap will never pay for itself, but its cool
• 5 batteries because all my roof lights will suck out my juice.
• 5' of lift because its cool
• Gotta be Terrafirma because its cool and everyone else is doing it.
• ARB Bumper's, because:
  
  • They are just so cool and Randy has one.
  • I wouldn't know how to use a welder if I tried.
• Gotta get the special Lug Nuts to go with my Poser Steel wheels.
  
  • The aluminum ones will just blow up the second I take them on that dirt road I've been wanting to hit.
  • Now I can understand it if you have 18" wheels
• Got my highlift jack, its strapped to my roof rack because I couldn't really used it on these plastic bumpers.
• How many Pelican cases can I fit on my roof rack, so at least it looks like I use it?
• Better get my ladder so I can get on my rack for my empty gas cans and empty pelican cases when I get off my expedition on that off road park.
• I got my 5 jerry cans because that 1 mile trail and road trip will use up my 24 gallons of gas once I switch on all my Lights and Fridge
• I got my laptop mounted to my dash, I'm cool now right?
• We hit 1 mile today, I'm knackered lets deploy the roof top tent so I look cool. And then bust out the cooking stuff even though there's a McDonalds a mile away.
• Don't forget the $1000 safari chairs either or the table.
• If I don't get all this crap there is now way I can every use my vehicle off road. I'll never fit in, and I'll just die.

There is probably some other Elitist crap I forgot in here to be cool. I'm sure you can let me know. Besides, I haven't put almost 10000 miles on my vehicle in the last year of ownership. It hasn't even blown up because it doesn't have all the crap on it.

Apparently you know nothing about the case. Unless you plan on welding up the differential and the Viscous Coupler there is no way to lock up the transfercase. And if you do that, you'll throw it out of balance anyway. Good luck. But I'll refer you back to my list above about the lack of fabrication or welding skills.

And before you do anything, make sure you don't change out the transmission and forget to put some fluid back in it before you take it on a drive.

And if you do work on the transfercase, make sure you put ATF in it as well.

They both use Dextron III just so you know and don't confused. Would you like me to send you a PM about the Dextron so you don't forget again?

If you want to do something worthwhile, build a LT230 with a locking center diff, to fit in the P38 without having to swap out differentials. Build an adapter to clock the case for a RR. I might actually buy one of those.

REALLY! I think you should do as you as your username says and "Get Lost-4x4"

And I thank you for that
