Hy-Tech Wheel-Lift Installation (Pickup)

1.) Rear Leaf Springs: We strongly recommend that you increase the number of leafs in the rear main springs before you begin the installation process. In most cases we have found that these additional leafs (Dodge - 4 leafs, Chev. - 3 leafs and Ford - 2 leafs), in addition to an in-cab controlled airbag system, will be adequate in most cases. The use of an airbag system has always proven to be far more effective than additional helper/overload springs.

Dodge Nitro Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Installation

I am not a mechanic, nor do I claim to know the best way to install this kit. This is simply a document detailing
the method I used to install the springs on my wife’s 2007 Dodge Nitro R/T 4.0L.
Installation:
1. Read through all the instructions at least 1 time, and then begin the installation process.
2. Using the 10mm wrench, remove the battery terminal connectors.
3. Remove the bottom bolt from the battery tray; this should free the battery to be lifted out.
4. After the battery has been removed, open the fuse box and disconnect the RED cable using a 13mm socket.

Power Steering, Air Cleaner Element

Always use Genuine Honda Power Steering Fluid. If it is not available, you may use another power steering fluid as an emergency replacement. However, continued use can cause increased wear and poor steering in cold weather. Have the power steering system flushed and refilled with Honda PSF as soon as possible. A low power steering fluid level can indicate a leak in the system. Check the fluid level frequently and have the system inspected as soon as possible.

2007 Freelander 2 SE Rear Screen Connectivity Aftermarket Install Guide

I have just finished fitting the rear screen connectivity system to my car. I was going to do a photo album of the install, unfortunately the camera died after the second photo. Instead I have used pics from the installation instructions and workshop manual to help illustrate.
Typical Land Rover, the instructions that came with the kit where pictorial only, and not as clear as they could have been (in my humble opinion). I hope this installation guide will be a lot easier to follow and hopefully you won’t have the few problems I encountered.

Concise 4x4 Driver Training Manual

This manual contains the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM knowledge deemed necessary to be known AND UNDERSTOOD by the average LROC member. However, this manual does not endeavour to explain the information presented here and therefore not everything presented here may be understood. This concise manual is complimented by the comprehensive manual where ALL this information is repeated but expanded with explanations where applicable. The LROC STRONGLY encourages its members to, at least once, read the entire comprehensive manual, just to understand how much more there is WORTH knowing. Written exam This “Concise Manual” also serves as the basis for the LROC’s written exam. Nothing outside of this manual will be asked in the exam. The exam will test knowledge only and is not intended to “be difficult”. It will not test the candidate’s understanding of the material. It is left to the member to ensure that a thorough understanding is reached where something is not understood – for your own benefit. Most of what is written in this manual regarding driving techniques are GUIDELINES due to off-roading situations being so variable (even though the wording may suggest otherwise). Therefore the most TYPICAL approach is presented here but with experience you WILL find that different/innovative approaches are sometimes called for.

99-05 Chevy Silverado AirBar ABAR11007 Installation

1. Raise truck to a comfortable working height and support safely with jackstands under the frame. Place these stands ahead of the leafspring mount and at the rear of the frame to support it when the C notch is installed.
2. The C notch frame section will be installed first. Note that the front edge of the C notch is butted up to the round tube crossmember. Place the C notch against the framerail to scribe the outline for cutting the framerail. Be sure to “round” the corners of the cut to avoid any stress points This is the layout for cutting the frame for the C notch. Using a 1/2” drill to make the corners produces a rounded corner which is much less susceptible to a stress crack.
