Wow, that's a total jackass move. Esp considering the pump is $20-25 shipped on eBay and the housing is big money anywhere you look. It's like cutting off new mud tires to get to the steel spare rims, LOL.

 

Exactly. I got a lil pissed off when I saw it laying there on the ground!

 

Probably some jackwagon with a Chevy!!

 

well I got the springs installed and 3 shocks since i lost a bushing for the top of one of the rear bilsteins, any idea where i can get one?

here is what i found, my rover had all original springs and shocks marked land rover all shot

the front springs i installed today are shorter then what I took off my rover but thicker and it does sit inches higher even with 100 lbs of winch wtf??

the rear springs i got are longer then what i took off my rover but it sits about the same so i guess i did not score a lift just nice aftermarket springs and shocks

i just do not understand how the one I removed it from sat so high since it was only missing the gas tank, same tire size as mine, same rear air model and yes i marked the springs with tape and a marker before removing them in the jy

rear shocks were the same length, front bilstiens are about 1" longer then my stock ones

went down a bumpy dirt road and through some mudd to test out the springs and it rides realy nice and very smoooth even with the heavy winch

 

oh yeah my brother sent me to a yard claiming to have a roof basket today, they did not but I got a real nice pair of factory bolt on stone guards for the body tail lights, $10

anyone got a pic of these installed I did not get to remove them

 

Here ya go.

Would you like a pic of the holes left when a tree rips them off?

Can't you reuse one of the bushings from your old shocks?
Rovah Farm has them for $0.75.

stock shocks are a different bushing type that uses a steel inner sleeve, we tried to press it out with no luck

the bilstiens use the type that are 2 piece and can be replaced with urothane

thanks for the pic, guess I just line them up best i can and run self tap screws in, my rover came with 1 guard and it clips under the tail light, the other was missing and the lens was all f'ed up from it getting ripped off

 

LOL...Yeah...one option I'm glad I never added to my truck. I manage to smash fewer tail lights off-road without the light guards than I would with them tearing up the lights too...

 

You lost the rear upper shock bushing? How'd you do that, LOL!?
This one? http://search.cartserver.com/search/...5593+&go=GO%21
Torch the rubber out and let the steel sleeve drop out. Lube the new bushing and press it in with a large vise or shop press.

 

the upper bilstien bushings are 2 piece, i found it stuck inside a bracket i got for someone so problem resolved
