Default The 16 Hour Rover Experience

On long nights, when a lot of technical-savvy friends get together, much occurs. Starting around one in the afternoon with the simple intention of taking the brush guard off, it all started. After about three hours, all my buddies came over and our boredom resulted in a 16 hour straight Land Rover maintenance night. With no breaks, and a lot of grease at 6:30 A.M, we were finished....after all this.

-7 New Quarts of High Mileage Motor Oil + Oil Filter
-New Differential lube in both axles (Hadn't been changed since factory)
-Brand new wax job
-Rotated tires
-Refurbished front bumper (No dents and new paint
-No brush guard
-Removed running boards
-Fixed back hatch
-New light rack

After a lot of Wal-mart runs and over $60.00 in supplies, an impressive amount of work was performed. It was a blast...next weekend are the spark plugs and wires, electronics, and possible fog lights. Check out pictures!

I reckon! No, just some 4:00 McDonald's breakfast and a widened Land Rover vocabulary . But thank you, we definitely worked very hard.
