You should join the NELRC if your looking to wheel with other Rovers. They are based out of NYC and hold many events in NJ.


I can not believe as a master Land Rover Tech you would be proud of this lift. Running a stock shock in the front ? No HD drive line upgrades? As a master tech Im sure you know that the stock carrier is unbelievably week for 35s,



Come to Rovers on the Rocks and out drive the top guy on 33s with your 35. I will be thoroughly impressed if you can get in the top 5 of the 33in tire class.
Hey, you should post this again. No one cared the fist time you posted it, no one cared the second time you posted it, maybe 3rd times a charm. Dude, its a 200 dollar truck, lighten up.

And that I stake my reputation on the advise I give and the work I do. And they can call me when they have questions that they need logical and straight answers for. (Which they do) Do you put your professional reputation on the line in a public forum for little to no return? How many people call you for answers on their cars? How many would you answer? how many could you answer?
It's advertising sell it however you like. If you just wanted to let people know your credentials you could just have your certifications.

I put my professional reputation on the line for much more serious matters than auto repair don't worry I hold my own.

Oh and I doubt you have done that many valve jobs.

They are legitimate questions. Thats why you don't know how to answer them. It appears your better suited to call people names.

Well since he won't answer, I did some googling and found his shop on Facebook. Here are his credentials. But he don't show any work on Land Rovers on his Facebook page. He has a picture of one however. And he was certifed when with Land Rover Monmouth in NJ.

Sorry if my build thread only had one photo. It is a build in progress and will be updated accordingly as I add things.

Yeah I never update that facebook page. And I'm kind of kicking myself for not taking more pictures of more projects. I have a buddy working on a web page that I'm going to (hopefully) update frequently. Yes I worked at Monmouth for a little over 8 years. I earned my Master status in 2006. I earned all the ASE certs a year prior, I believe.
EDIT I got the light diesel cert in 2009 I think.
