I made it along with Brad from Rockstar Fab. It's based on the Safari Gard design. It may be for sale soon. Let me know if you'd be interested.

 

Cool, thanks for the pic.... Might be interested, PM with details if it makes it to the market

 

today i had my worn out bushings pressed out, had the radius arms sand blasted, powder coated silver, installed ironman bushings, and reinstalled the radius arms. busy day for the arms haha

 

Picked up a new standard duty fan clutch and 180* thermostat. Gonna yank the radiator and get it rodded out. Any recommendations or tips for removal?

 

Got around trimming out the fenders and quarters today. I switched from an air powered cutter to an electric half way through, which cut the time in half. I plan to head out to the park next week to try it out.

BTW....The dried out mud and sand in the brakes....not fun. Next time I go out and play, I will go to the local car wash right after. Need to invest in a pressure washer thou, since my neighbors washer broke....

 

This thread sure has grown!

 

Siphon out the coolant before removing the lower rad hose to keep the mess to a minimum. Also plan on replacing all of the O-rings for the trans and engine oil cooler lines (if equipped).

 

Today (yesterday) I got three packages in the mail for my Disco. One had two 4-3/4 ton working load shackles for my recovery points, one had a new gear-reduction starter, and one had a new alpine window gasket. Looks like it will be a busy week!

 

Pulled the radiator and took it to be rodded out. Radiator shop said it had approx 50% blockage. Should have it back tomorrow. Going back together with a new 180* thermostat and new fan clutch and a bottle of water wetter. I'm really hoping to see my temps fall from the 195-205 range down closer to 180. Then back to the fun stuff!

 

Let's see..

what did I get in the mail?

New polybushings set (orange)
New radiator hoses
New heater hoses
New tie rod ends and clamps
SS Brake Lines +2"
Transmission filter kit
Assortments of bolts and clamps
