I think he's hoping the hard top being latched in will put in some extra resistance and reduce the flex. I wonder how this will end for the hard top...

That truck sure does flex hard. That's why I have been hesitant about removing sway bar links on the land rover untill I extend my brake lines. Shrapnel has an awesome rig

I think my rusted out rocker panels combined with no hardtop allowed the body to flex too much. The fender cutting may have also contributed. Just not as much structural integrity as it had from the factory.
I’m planning to eventually weld in rectangular tube for rock guards which should also help. Then, long term goal, a roll cage.
Until then, I’ll try to go easy on my rig!

So my rig is still down. I got everything back together, got fuel back through the IP again, but can't get any fuel through the injection lines. Getting pretty clueless at this point.

Don’t know anything about what your working on, but did you try cracking the lines at the injectors instead of the pump end, to bleed the air out?

Yeah, I'm working at the injector end of the lines, because the IP side is impossible to access with the intake manifold in place. Working on a 6.5L HMMWV.

Dang, it's cold outside and getting colder! Hope you all are still good to go. I''m planning to get down there around 10am Saturday morning. I'll be leaving my house around 8am with 1 or 2 guys riding with me.
Looks like it will be around 0 degrees F that morning. Run plenty of antigel in your fuel!

Sounds good DJones. Dress warm!
I don't know if I remember how to get to the campsite. If DJones does, I am ok with that.

Are you going to have a fire going at the campsite? I can bring some wood if you need some. I have lots of it.

Dave is meeting me early on Saturday and anyone around Cincinnati is more than welcome to roll out with us. I have a couple more seats.
