    Anyone using 285/60/18 BFG AT KO2?

    Any of you guys wearing 285/60/18 BFG AT KO2s yet? I need to get some tires this week and I was thinking I would replace my Nitto Terra Grapplers with the BFGs, but I was wonder if the BFGs clear everything just as well. I've never had issues with my Nittos, but I want the severe weather rating...

    Spark Plug Wire Swap: Worth Removing Hood?

    Hey guys, Sounds ridiculous, but would it be worth removing the hood to gain more room for a spark plug wire swap on a 4.6 w/SAI? I'm going to pull all the SAI plumbing that's along the firewall (looks absolutely necessary), but I'm trying to do this w/o removing the intake manifold. I've...

    Powerwashed Engine Bay & SES: Are these codes related?

    Hey all, I got my coolant flushed the other day and my buddy decided to power wash my engine bay. It was a kind gesture, but we all know that you power washing a Rover engine bay is just asking for disaster. The truck instantly started misfiring when he was done, but it seemed to work itself...

    How do you guys feel about 70/30 Coolant Ratio?

    Hey all, It's been a while since the coolant has been changed a friend of mine offered to do my coolant flush with a machine they use at the dealership he works at. I read in the owners manual to go with a 50/50 coolant ratio, but he's recommending a 70/30 coolant ratio. How do you guys feel...

    Exhaust Broke Off @ The Resonator

    Hey guys, Noticed some rattling and decided to inspect my exhaust to find that the entire section from behind the resonator back was just dangling on the hangers. Looks like the piping broke off right at weld to the resonator. Is this a pretty common thing to happen? I did a search and...

    Greasing DII Front Driveshaft?

    Hey guys, Rave Manual says and illustrates that one can grease their front drive shaft and I read on another forum that it should be greased regularly. However upon inspection I wasn't able to locate the location for the grease fittings. Did Land Rover change their design for 03-04? I've got...

    Snapped off a stud on Strut Turret; Big Deal?

    Hey guys, I was out tightening (and over tightening) bolts on the front suspension trying to find an odd chirp/rattle sound. In the process I managed to snap one of the (1 of 4) studs off of the LH Turret that holds down the strut. I believe it's called the Shock Tower Securing Ring. It...

    Experiencing problems after new brake installation.

    Hi guys, I just installed a set of EBC 6000 w/EBC Dimpled Rotors on my DII. The installation seemed to go smoothly (2nd time doing brakes on this truck), but right away I noticed a significant amount of brake squeal. I went through the bedding process, put some miles on, but now after almost...

    Is it risky to reseal a timing cover on 03' in oil pump failure VIN range?

    I'm leaking oil from all kinds of places, but the timing cover is a major offender. I was recently told by a reputable So Cal Rover Specialist that I shouldn't pull that cover unless I'm prepared to potentially replace my motor as it falls into the VIN range of motors that were likely (or...

    Interior Fuse Box Replacement: Need Programming?

    Hey guys, Inland Rovers in Riverside has figured out that a central locking issue I'm having is due to a bad IDM in the Interior Fuse Box. I have not yet been officially quoted for the repairs, but the rough estimate is $600. As far as I know the interior fuse box is held on with one bolt and...

    Is my A/C Compressor buzzing?

    Hey guys, Today I noticed a buzzing sound coming from my engine bay. It seems like it's coming straight from the A/C Compressor, but I didn't find any back threads in regards to that type of noise. Will an A/C Compressor make noise when it's having issues or might it be something else in that...

    Developed 4.6 Knock/Tick @ Idle Only.

    Hey everyone, It's late, but I couldn't wait until morning to ask. This is an 03' w/approx 95K miles and a leaking front seal (slow, but present... no puddles). After approximately 30mi of driving I noticed a knock/tick at idle in a parking lot. I checked my oil and I was about 1.5qt low (I...

    WTB: 03-04 Front License Plate Bracket

    Hey everyone, Got home from a day off-road to find that I no longer had a license plate or bracket; Wish I would have noticed sooner. I was wondering if anyone had one laying around that they wouldn't mind selling to me. I'm in California(91745) and we're required to have front plates...

    I'm lifted w/a few follow up questions.

    Hey everyone, I installed my RTE HD 2" Lift w/OME shocks over the weekend and have a couple of follow up questions. I've attached a pic of something we've all seen a 1000 times. Anyway, the first question is about rubbing - I'm not getting any. Even at full locked U-turns there isn't any...

    Off-roading a D2 w/o CDL or TC: Looking for technique suggestions.

    Hey guys, I've got new wheels/tires and I'll be ordering a RTE 2" w/OME this week. I feel like doing some off-roading, but I've got a CDL-less 2003 equipped with 3-amigos I don't feel like attending to at the moment. I've done a little light off-roading on stock configuration w/o TC and I've...

    Is a RTE 2" w/ProComp Steels a bad idea?

    Hey everyone, I've got a set of 265/75/16 BFG MTs that I'd like to put to use. I've spent the last 5 weeks aggressively looking around at wheel options, and classifieds, and at this point it seems to make more sense to just purchase a new set locally than ship a used set. I've finally settled...
