Hi,
Im new in the landy world and just purchased a 1995 d1 V8i 5sp manual.

It already has a 2 inch lift, snorkel and winch bull bar.

What other mods can i do to make it perform better / look good?

I want to get flares on it and put 33's on if possible but here in australia flares are extremely expensive.

Is there any other flares from other cars that will fit with a little modification.

Also what parts can i change / upgrade and are other landys parts swapable?

Any ideas greatly welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

 

What are you trying to do?
Make it look better or perform better off road?

 

I dont go too much offroad but might in the future but would like it to look better mainly, Can you get body lifts for these? on my 4runner i put a 2" lift kit and also a 2" body lift.

cheers

 

You can put a body lift on anything.
I dont know why, but you can.
These trucks are the best off road trucks in the world when they are 100% stock.
Personally I think they look stupid as hell with a huge lift. Not only will you lower your roll over angle (it is 45% stock) but it wont fit in a drive thru.
But hey, whatever floats your boat.

Read through the "how to" section before you do anything.

 

You can mod anything! I put an extension on my "oh ****" handles so I have something to grab while my elbow is on the window!

 

Since you're going only for looks, i'd say do whatever you like.
I never do any modifications for looks so I wouldn't have any idea where to tell you to start.

 

One warning, as such, for you is that your Rover , if it still has a stock diff, will have 12 spline axles and only 2 weak spiders gear which could fail with 33"s and it's mileage.
Consider doing a full service to get it up and current and take your time throwing parts at it.
