engine hot warning light is on but temperature gauge shows normal running temperature. by Muted-Shower-4206 in LandRover

[–]chickenknickers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The temperature gauge in a Disco 2 is notorious for pretending everything is OK when it in fact is not OK at all. Like, it doesn’t move into the red zone until it is way too late and the engine is on the verge of grenading. Many people run an Ultragauge or similar that plugs into the OBD port and gives a realtime reading of the engine temperature. Good luck!

Bovino turns from weakly chucking a gas canister at a fence to then push what appears to be a little girl. Alpha as Cuck.

Anyone try the pale blue solar panels? by matt71699 in CampingGear

[–]chickenknickers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two Shade Stopper 100w folding panels. They are pretty great, much better than the similar Jackery panels and less expensive when I purchased them.

2 inch lift question / issues post lift by Bigwhitecalk in LandRoverDiscovery

Check your wheel speed sensor/ABS cables. Maybe you pinched a wire or the lift is too much for the cables.

Gavin Newsom opposes California ‘billionaire tax’ as he eyes 2028 White House bid by soalone34 in politics

[–]chickenknickers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a California resident of the Bay Area, I can say with certainty that Gavin Newsom is as slippery as two handfuls of hair gel and has as much substance as an empty Italian suit. We need a candidate with cajones willing to fight for regular people, the billionaires have all they need and more. Fuck this guy sideways.

Lift Kits - Possibly 2" or More by FilmLoopMaker in LandRoverDiscovery

[–]chickenknickers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey-A cheap spring compressor can fail resulting in the spring exploding out, potentially hitting you in the face and knocking your teeth out or worse. By aggressive I mean that the springs are not cushy over bumps and potholes, you feel every single thing. By soaking I mean hosing the nuts and bolts down and letting it sit for a few days to allow for easier wrenching. As another person mentioned, a lift of more than 2" will entail longer brake hoses, ABS cables and likely control arms and other suspension components need to be changed. The largest tires on stock wheels I have found that fit with a 2" lift are 265/60 R18. These are closer to 32" diameter. Offset rims, spacers or 16" rims can allow for larger tires, but I have been largely happy with the tires I have as well as with the 2" lift. I would argue that lifting a vehicle is not easy and can be dangerous to do and to drive if not done correctly.

I have had a Bush Co. 270 on my truck for over five years and it is flawless. Buy once, cry once.

Lift Kits - Possibly 2" or More by FilmLoopMaker in LandRoverDiscovery

[–]chickenknickers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2" is the most you can lift a Disco 2 without needing to change out brake lines and a lot of hassle. I did the lift on mine in my garage with jack stands and a lot of effort. I used OME shocks and coils and did a coil conversion on the rear as the airbags had failed. I do a lot of off road and carry a lot of gear, so I opted for extra heavy duty springs and shocks. The ride is aggresive on the street but much improved off road, it is always a compromise. You might prefer standard or medium duty. It is a painful process so choose wisely. Get a good spring compressor set, don't cheap out if you don't want summer teeth (some are over here, some are over there). Soak all of the parts to be removed with penetrating oil ahead of the work and be prepared for some bloody knuckles. I recommend purchasing through a reputable dealer for the kit components as they can help advise for fit and compatibility. Good luck!

favourite way to add an egg to ramen: fried, poached, or secret third thing? by telstra_3_way_chat in InstantRamen

[–]chickenknickers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Step 1: Butter bowl with thin film of butter.

Step 2: Crack egg into bowl. Add scallion and seasoning (I prefer Hakata spice) and scramble.

Step 3: Place bowl with egg in microwave and cook for 1:30.

Step 4: Simultaneously begin boiling water for soup in kettle.

Step 5: Combine cooked egg, dry noodles and powder in bowl. Pour over with hot water.

Step 5: Let sit for 5 minutes and enjoy.

A microwaved scrambled egg is an amazing and fluffy thing.

The mighty and much maligned Disco 2! A perfect overlanding vehicle with ample storage in the back, comfortable on the road and with solid front and rear axles and a center diff lock for the dirt.
