Met with my friend that has the used tire shop.
He got me a set of 5 Firestone Transforce HT 245x75x16 tires to replace the mis-matched 235x65x16 car tires that P.O. had been running.
Wider ( I am not thrilled )
Taller ( I am thrilled )
and a matched set of LT ( I am ecstatic ).
This is the only pic I got before it got dark...
Okay - mounted!

Finally got my steering damper installed re-installed. I painted the shield black, cleaned the ret, slapped a LandRover sticker on it, and coated the whole thing with clear acrylic.
I made the frame bracket from 1/4 aluminum angle and the drag link bracket is a tube clamp from Ballistic Fab with a couple tabs welded on by my boy, Jake1996D1.

Rover Tracks HD Tie Rod and Drag Link (thanks to fishEH) w/2 new greasable TREs, OME D2 dampener, and a refill of fresh Rotella. Also thoroughly cleaned the underside of the motor so I can identify oil leaks to tackle on the next oil change. BTW Brett, I liked your steering dampener idea but I had to put my own twist on it....

Replaced the rear output seal and thouroughly cleand the parking brake shoes, drum and fixin's. Fabricated some extention tabs for lights of the SD Rack. It's a DII rack on a DI so the light mounts are about at the window line. The new tabs send the liights back about 4" which, I hope, will reduce tha glare on the dash. Picked up a ladder a while back and had a chance to remove all the rust and coating and prep it down to the metal. All parts or hanging on the paint tree waiting for their next coat ;-)
