Thread: Lucky 8's Project P38

mini Project update : Make it stop

With all the work we are doing to the P38 the constant beeping forced Mike to the verge of a mental break down. Armed with a screwdriver and a 10 lb sledgehammer Mike had a life or death match with the instrument cluster. I'm happy to say the cluster is fine and no longer beeps, Mike on the other hand is in therapy 3 times a week.

To see how to De-Beep your P38 watch this video

Great news,

I look forward to hearing more about this as the project goes on. Great news

That's a good little tip! Thanks for that!

Been meaning to do that little project as I have LED bulbs that make the becm think they've blown. The faster indicator blink on the binnacle will be no more also. Yeehah. Happy days.

Thank you for the kind words

G'day mate was wondering how your Centre Diff Lock has been performing,
is it looking like a feesable option or is it still too early to say?

Thanks for asking Sir. Our temporary job is holding up quite well, But that said we do not drive it much on the street because now it is fully locked.

We have tried a few different options but we keep coming up plums.

I have to transfer case sitting on the table just outside of my office and walk by every day. I look at it and try to think of what I can stick in there to make it lock and unlock. Our last idea was to stick a small Dana 30 Locker in there. Unfortunately the locker is to big.

Project update : Lights, Damper, Cut

Lights
Almost every time we use the P38 a front side marker light goes missing. I don't know if the mounting tabs have gone bad on the truck or that we sometimes use trees and rocks as a brake supplement.



We filled the mounting holes on the lights with RTV in hopes of keeping them in place.



They did not fall out on this little rock pile, I hope it is a good omen.



Damper
The Terrafirma steering damper came in for testing.



I took the P38 down a 55mph ruff country road and the damper kept the 33in Nitto's under control and tracking straight.



As expected the damper did great off road as well.



Cut
After seeing the prototype for the rear bumper we could make the final adjustments needed to the fender flares.



With the way the flares line up on the P38 it is hard to tell we cut them or that they were originally for a Disco 2.
