Just bought another 3.1, swb this time though. Drives very well, looks like it's been well looked after, recaro interior, 265 mud tires on it already, just a couple of small issues to sort out but otherwise very pleased with it.

I spent today sorting a few jobs out on this, the glow plug light on the dash had a mind of it's own so I traced the fault with a multimeter to the qos unit in the drivers footwell, took it apart and it had burnt out, replaced it with the one from my other trooper and all is well.
I also removed the vac system from the engine bay and the aircon pump, i've kept the pump incase I decide to have on board air.
I want to add a second battery but have no clue how to do it, i've had a look in the forums but couldn't find much on it. Is there a 'how to' or such like or could some kind person give me a bit of a idiots guide to doing this please.
Thanks

I got around to doing the suspension lift today, I used Terrafirma TF023V +2" medium load landy springs and seats in the end, they are huge compared to the Trooper ones.
The spring seats I got off eebuygum for £10
And the end result is about a 2.75" lift. I wound up the front by 11 turns.
Next job is to find some time to fit the snorkel. _________________ Bighorn 3.1TD SWB (1993), 3" suspension lift, snorkel

Fitted my snorkel yesterday. Very nerve wracking drilling large holes in your truck. Took a bit of figuring out as it never came with any instructions but I got there in the end.

Just past its mot, first one with me as the owner, just needed a lower ball joint. I got the garage to do it, far to cold to be working outside , £165 including the mot so not to bad. The mot tester commented on how good the brakes were, must be all that grease on the slider bolts _________________ Bighorn 3.1TD SWB (1993), 3" suspension lift, snorkel
