It will eat into the tyre. If the pull isn't too bad, the wear may be minimal, but it will be more wear than if it was properly aligned.

Replacing hardware that is OE is probably never a bad idea. But personally I would reuse a Land Rover bolt that has had an impact gun on it before replacing it with a generic part, unless the original is obviously bad.

I've had two Arnott springs fail catastrophically and immediately, so I wouldn't trust being under the car with them. I haven't had an issue with Dunlops. I'd still put some jack stands under the frame for safety.

If you’re talking about the commutator (the brass/copper part that the brushes contact), I’m pretty sure that’s not replaceable. Regulators should be, but might not be easy to find. There was a company in the US that sold alternator parts, but they didn’t even ship to Canada.

Thanks Gordon!

I know my P38 GEMS and my D2 Thor have different alternators. I don’t think they’re directly interchangeable.

Long suffering wives are such a huge blessing. I’m glad you’re getting it sorted.

Would the 32’s be drivable if you went down to the bump stops?

The tire holder looks great.
Great video!

This is how I got in

When my bonnet release cable broke I was able to release the two latches from the outside. If I get time I’ll try to find my post on how I did it.

I’m glad you found it, but I think it’s a bit of a job to get at.

As brash as Toad was, he could often be quite helpful. I would rather have the brashness of someone like Toad than the politeness of some AI that really isn’t at all helpful.

Welcome here from a fellow Canuck from Kelowna. Great vehicle choice.

At least Frankie knows how to make tea! Welcome here.

Maybe Frankie can explain it ; )

Yes, by Richard I mean Gilbert.

And on that note, I’ve always really appreciated the help we get on this forum. I’m even more thankful now for Richard and Gordon (and perhaps a few more?) for keeping.pub going.

Wow, I had no idea!
