Well I ordered new rear wheel bearings and pads while I was in there, I have one stuck slider pin. Might have to get a torch if the penetration oil doesn’t do its job. Gonna be a new truck by the time I’m. Done

I never thought this day would come but I will be putting my rover up for sale in the next few days. I don’t want to but family issues are forcing the sale. The truck is in the best shape it has ever been and I hate to let it go. I will do some cleaning and detailing and post it up with pictures shortly. If anyone has followed this build you know it’s had lots of work done. If some one from this site buys it I have loads of spare parts I will include, motor, axles, drive shafts, all kinds. I just had the alignment done and new O2 sensors installed. If anyone is interested before I post it pm me. I’m thinking 12k usd or 4K Canadian

Sad to see her go. Home the new owners will enjoy her as much as me and the kids have.

Hang in there. You'll be back in the Rover fold before you know it. We'll be waiting for you.

Didn't you have a P38 at one point? At current market pricing I think they are a better buy. I've gone through my share of issues with mine and really like the quality of the vehicle.

Yes Walt, and it was a great truck. I very well may look for one of those when I’m ready. Price and shape will determine whatever I get

Sorry to hear this Rich.

All the best and hopefully, life stabilizes soon and you're back amongst us with a new project.

Brian.
