    1994 Land...uh...Cruiser?

    Found this gem on Craigslist. It was in the Barrio. It took me about 15 minutes to decipher what the person was saying as to where it was. It was off Seminary Dr. just off of I-35W. Rough Area. I brought back-up.

    Anyways, truck is a little rough and needs a Pass front CV (Birfield?). I was about to walk when I spied the little dial to the left of the steering column. Suddenly the value of this thing doubled. Berta was asking $1500, I countered $800, we settled on $1000.

    It had some kick ass air freshener in it. Black Ice...or cheap aftershave.

    I plan on getting rid of the front bumper for a trusty ARB and then fabbing up something for the rear...I would buy something but they are like $2000.

    Needs tires, seat covers, and some other stuff. A/C blows nice and cold and the radio works.


    Trip to get it was a major PITA!
    Drove to granbury to get trailer. On way back hear noise...sounds like metal dragging. I think blowout. Stop, look at tires and they are all good. I think maybe jack fell down and flipped back up?.. Find/See nothing, Keep on trucking.

    I get to the barrio and open one of the ramp pockets. No ramp! FAWK!!! FAWK!!!! FAWK!!! (right then I have a flashback of metal noise I heard on the way up there, that noise now strangely sounded like a ramp dragging down the road and flying off into a ditch somewhere!) Open other ramp pocket...No RAMP!!!! FAAAAAAWK!
    Look up in there and one ramp is gone the other is wedged between front and back axle! Get one ramp out, use rocks and other mexican goodies to create second ramp to winch it up on trailer.
    Go to my house dump cruiser. hear hissing noise. bad leak in new trailer tire. change tire for spare. drive back to granbury and luckily found ramp on the side of the road where I heard the noise!

    Do tell, what does said dial indicate?

    I take it the CB was not still installed when you got there?

    It changes the shift points in the tranny. If activated, the tranny will shift at higher RPMs giving you more "power" when passing or towing.
    ECT = Electronically controlled transmission?

    doesn't have diff lock button...from what I've read it automatically locks when you put it in low range. Which it isn't from what I have tried. it could be sticking. Probably just like a rover in that if you don't use diff lock it gets stuck.

    read there is a way to overide ABS stuff and be able to control diff lock in both high and low.
    switch is available at sleeoffroad.com $60 wonder if I can get it cheaper somewhere?
