I hope to put in OME HD shocks and springs on in anticipation of later replacing the stock bumpers. I may need to redo the headliner.

Default RE: It's a new year so how will you modify your Rover

Money permitting, by the end of the year I should have a new OME HD suspension, some aggressive 265/75/16s, a new front bumper (probably hi country off road at this point), and plenty of undercarriage armor. If enough money is left over I may just get a detroit locker for the rear. I also want to fix my leaky sunroof and a/c drains, put a rubberized undercoating accross the entire underside, and herculine all of the floors. Can't wait to get started

The list is way too long and the money too short.

Here's the short list of things I plan to do this year:
Replace sunroof rails so front sunroof works (I've had the rails for about 4 months)
OME 2" HD Lift and extended stainless steel brake lines
Hi-Country Off Road Rear Bumper with swing away tire carrier
Hi-Country rock sliders
ARB front bumper with winch
Voyager or SD Rack
Lots of extra lights

I'm guessing 2 maybe 3 of these will get done

Default RE: It'

after driving cross country (straight through, twice, within 10 days - NEVER again!) i know my rover HAS to have replacement shock and springs (im leading toward Old Man Emu HD unless discomike tells me otherwise) and putting my rover into a lake, sorta, a snorkel kit (open to suggestions) is on the list.

cant wait for my tax check - im hoping to pay the baby off AND get some maintence/upgrades done...

my wife thinks we will no longer have a truck payment when i send the final check into the bank for the rover. hehe, little does she know that i will prolly spend more per month in upgrades and fixes than our original payment was...

My payment on my Rover is only $106 per month. I spend twice that just ordering parts at Atlantic British. Figure in the parts I get locally and I bet I spend triple my payment each month. Unfortunately I'm still playing catch up so the parts are for repairs and not modifications.
