They had a request for them on their Facebook page. Give Bill a call and see if he still needs some more.

 

Got the radiator, new fan clutch, and thermostat reinstalled. Guy at the radiator shop said it was worse than they thought once they removed the end tank. 60-70% blockage. Thank god for the severe duty fan. Will update with new temps on e I drive it a bit.

 

Got some cute little 27x8.50 R14s for my Ranger build. Maybe they'll grow up to be real tires someday.

 

Picked up the heads, damn they're clean . It cost me $180(both heads, valve job and resurface) they didn't clean the rocker assemblys. It would have been extra but oh well I'll just soak them in gas( its cheaper than carb cleaner). Found a fan motor $30, a bulb holder headlight parking lamp(free ). Salvage yard had a 95disco, I will be going back its damn near a complete truck. Got the radiator back, guy said it was full of crap $75. Rotella oil at Sam's club 6gal of 15w40 for $76. Next week its ON! Going to put everything back.

 

Drove around town and idled with the air on for 10 min. Temps never got above 186. Getting the radiator cleaned out was the best 40 bucks I ever spent.

 

Clocked a 180 mile off-road trip with 9 hours of driving. There were some pretty technical parts with ruts, mud, and snow, unfortunately I was too busy driving to think about getting pictures. Of the 8 rigs, the Rover was only one of three that made it through the deep snow, and I was the only one to make it through without lockers. Everyone else was getting stuck so we had to turn back and take an easier route.

That last picture is Grays Lake. The lake is under all the cattails - it's more of a marsh. Very cool scenery.

 

threw a new Range P38 alternator, belt, and tensioner bearing on... finally sounds like a normal truck!

 

Arb front bumper and 2" terrafirma HD lift springs and all terrain shocks last night. What a project, but I'm very happy with the results.

 

Pics or it didn't happen!

 

finishing up prep work on my safari rack so i can paint it
