    Thinking of a JT...

    Well, I thought really hard on whether to get a JT, but after much discussion with my better half, we decided the shorter wheelbase of the JL is greatly appreciated. Especially since I don’t think the JT could replace the truck duties of our old Tundra (can’t believe that thing is going to turn...

    $25 7" H4 Headlight Upgrade Kit

    I just opened one of the kits I bought, crazy that you get 2 glass headlights, wiring with relays for under $17. Easy way to convert from sealed beams to the H4 style bulb.

    $25 7" H4 Headlight Upgrade Kit

    The big issue with LED is how they produce light. Each individual LED produces a narrow cone of light that shines in a single direction. It requires a bunch of individual LED chips placed in a circular pattern to mimic a halogen light. If a reflector is designed for a halogen lamp, no LED bulb...

    Warn step bumper end cap repair

    Contact Kim here, his prices on eBay are slightly higher than selling directly here. He also wraps steering wheels and grab bars with leather to replace the worn components on a Laredo model. I’d carefully remove the factory end caps and either sell them to Dennis Collins or keep them in a...

    Body Mounts/ Bushings

    Factory Service Manual has a diagram of the frame. They can be replaced with the tub on the frame, but you will need to lift one side at a time to get clearance.

    Re-gearing/Axle swap

    My ‘82 was a 4cyl jeep and came with 4.10 axles. It had a T5 / 232 I6 and I felt the gear ratios were great, just wish I had more power.

    Thinking of a JT...

    If this happens, take my money, please. I wish I had bought the 392 ilo my 4xe. A 392 JT would be in my driveway if available. (Just hope they offer a cool skittles color like my Reign)

    VIN decoding

    Yes, they made the world cab in -7 and -8 lengths. I think the biggest market for the -7 version was England. They were also in South America, but from the used listings I have seen the -8 was more prevalent there. The original Llareno was pre ‘82 and the hard top had windows in the rear corners.

    VIN decoding

    From the photos, I don’t think $45k is off the mark for where this level of Overlanders have been trading hands recently. I am assuming all sheet metal is solid and it is mechanically sound.

    VIN decoding

    First let me start with that is a very cool vehicle. While it does have the world cab which makes it really cool, it is not an Overlander. The Overlander was a version only sold in Australia. As such they are all right hand drive and have an additional data plate on the firewall on the driver’s...
