X2 the yellow looks good on the classic

 

Updated photo's of Bertha:



Some urban flexing (not much to flex on in Chicago)

 

I really like this thread. Keep it coming!

 

But it's for sale.

 

Great work so far!

 

I'm always trolling Dallas Craigslist for 95 LWB's. They are CHEAP. This thread is giving me some great ideas. Please drop a 350 in it and post of how to! HAHA

 

This weekend I got the 1" coil spacers installed on the front to even out the rake! The rear measured 35.75" and front is 35.5". No driveline vibrations from the 3" lift. I think I will eventually swap out the front drive shaft for tom wood's.

Unfortunately, my driver and passenger seat stopped working with the controls along with the side mirrors. Anyone know how to manually move the passenger seat back? It's current stuck in the position farthest up to the dashboard.

I think I might take the for sale post down. I've had a few inquires but I am really enjoying Project Bertha! Hope you are all too.

 

5/18/16 Updates:

As mentioned before my side mirrors and power seats stopped working. I also discovered my cig outlet was not working either. I checked all the fuses and noticed one was blown. Replacing the fuse solved the side mirror and cig outlet issue however it did not fix my power seat issue.

I learned the cig outlet was working the hard way :campfire:





I added a larger cup holder and can source power for my Cobra handheld CB:






I found an old futon that lays perfectly in the trunk by removing the rear seats. Going camping and off-roading this weekend in Attica, IN (The Badlands). When I have time I am going to build a false floor with flip up storage doors and two roll out drawers for tools. This way I can lay the futon over the fake floor and have adequate storage for over-landing.






Got some great decals from Forge Overland and Overland Textile Company. If you haven't heard of the check them out from the links I posted!





Last thing I ordered for Project Bertha are 16 x 7 American Racing steel wheels. The 4.25" backspacing will solve my tire rubbing I am experiencing with the radius arms. Let me just say finding 5 on 6.5 bolt pattern wheels are near impossible! I checked with Lucky8, OKoffroading, Summit Racing, and 4wheelparts.com and nobody had them in stock due to low demand. Luckily I was able to source these wheels through Gulf Coast Rovers. I am praying these wheels and lugs come in before Friday so I can have them for my weekend adventure to the Badlands











Still waiting on my front & rear brakes from Lucky8. Apparently there are issues from customs, which held the shipment.

 

Here are some pics from my Badlands trip 5/28/16:

Video will come later!

Hey all! It's been awhile since I've updated this thread so I rather not leave everyone high and dry.

I ended up purchasing a condo back in August in Chicago and got caught up on the move. Unfortunately, I had to sell my 95 Classic since I have limited space for a secondary vehicle. Good news is the new owner is a fellow LR enthusiast and has two SWB Classic's so rest easy know its in good hands.

After months of remorse I ended up picking up a new primary vehicle which I plan on keeping as my daily driver and converting into an overland vehicle for light/moderate off-roading.

Here's a photo of my 2008 LR3!





Anyone else here have an LR3? If so, let's see them!
