Hey Welcome Kris....nice Discovery.
You have already become familiar with the rig after 8000K.
Have you got a good understanding of the center Diff lock operation and the fact the vehicle has a Permanent Four Wheel Drive system?
Its not all that complicated but its not usual for owners not to get how and why it works the way it does.
Cheers
PaulC

Thanks , ya i have done some maintanence on it . rebuilt seals on ps pump , new exhaust gaskets and generic o2 sensors . heater blower motor . I have taken it wheelin already and the trasfercase is solid and has easy motion . I found a great tip on here already about rear power windows stoped working half way down , pulled the glove box and took out power window ecu and re soldered it ...... couldnt believe how easy that was ! worked awsome ...... All this was done on first weekend that i got it .... now that the kinks are worked out it runs great .... I have found that it gets high centered very easily and lift this old gurl is a must for proper off roading ...... so many things still to do .
