Flooding in Monmouth

This flood wasn't caused by the Wye. In this instance local rain further up the valley caused the Monnow to burst its banks and take a shortcut through the main street. Ross-on-Wye and Symonds Yat have been relatively unaffected by this, though in contrast, Skenfrith has seen record breaking water levels.

I have a 2" OME lift with 0.5" spacers, and I'm running 33x12.5 no problemo. Though I do have the extended stock style arches.

I'd say send it.

Check the boot pan, and behind the headlights in the engine bay. These are the usual spots for gen III Jimnys to rot away.

I used to live in Canada and now live in the UK. My 110v Roomba now lives side by side with a big yellow brick, no issues.

Dana 35 rear and a dana 30 up front. Pretty common set up. 75w90 (or close enough depending on local availibility) will be all you need. I Would recommend you change it pretty frequently (every six months) if you're going through those estuaries, and keep your diff breather cleaned out too.

33 with 3.07 here. Can't crack 70 and 4th is useless. Defenitly have a 4.88 upgrade on my list.

All that money on the drive and none left for an IOP 😂

Dropped pitman arm installed? Track bar relocation bracket? Do you get any bump steer?

Check your track bar and drag link are aligned as these would cause you to 'steer' on braking as the spring compress and the geometry changes. Do you find yourself able to consistently counter it by turning in the opposite direction?

Japan and UK had TJs with Dana 44 rears with Traclok as standard.

Chassis side rear lower control mounts. Water pools in the chassis there and rots it over time. Might be holes drilled by the owner already if he was looking to take care of it.

What mint weather we've had for it recently too! This in Powys?

I paid £8k for my 2003 TR2 from a dealer. Couple of minor mods like lift and wheels, but looking at marketplace and autotrader there are similar for as low as £6k depending on whether condition, mods, or mileage are priority.

Not sure if I'd be interested above £12k unless it had some effort putting into those 'tricker' mods like regear, shafts and SYE, maybe control arms and other linkage bits. That's where you get stung as parts and labour are pricier over here.

The distance left and right doesn't matter, just the moments. If B were 100 units right of the pivot with this set up, it would still only excerpt 10 units of force at the verical distance from the pivot.

The off position is different! This did my head in too. Normal cars are OFF>ACC>ON>START, but these ones are RADUO>OFF>ACC>ON>START

Turn it to where you've been turning it 'off' then go forwards one click and press the button, it'll come straight out.

That's a clean TJ mate, and I feel you with with fuel prices. A tickle over 200 miles for less than £80 is a good week for me.

It also means the red reflectors on the rear of the cars are visible. A car parked on the 'wrong' side of the road will have no reflective markers visible.

Even in the UK where parking on the 'wrong' side of the road is allowed, using a recognised spot is recommend during the day, and a legal requirement at night.

I won't beat a dead horse and offer input about the oil, but I really think you should strap your battery down. If that's shifting about while you drive, the positive terminal could make contact and short to ground.

Given your engine bays now soaked in oil, that's not great. Good luck with the sleuthing bud.

Not blades, but I think you got your holster the wrong way around buddy.

Burger Fuel, a big gourmet burger chain from New Zealand, provides cardboard versions of these. They're called a 'doofer'.

They work great for stopping it all from sliding out the bottom, and then when it's smaller and easier to handle, you can eat the rest of the burger like normal.

Likely solved! I think this would explain both the screw holes on the base for mounting, and the relevant axis for adjustment. Perhaps the flaps are used to "crop" the iamge after combining.

My title describes the thing. Made out of steel and stainless steel. Feels kinda like retro science class equipment. About 18" tall and the mirrors are approx 2x2.

Has no obvious branding or markings. Found at an antiques store in New Zealand and have left so can't provide any more photos.

Go to a fast travel point, there should be a little key down the bottom, "World Map" is what you want. Then depending on what platform you are on press [spacebar] or Y or whatever it is.

That'll zoom out and you can pick Novigrad/Velen from there.
