The seller is godfatherslandrover


Thing is why post it if you're not sure of the price. That's the risk you take if you list an item before you check your price. I'm a pretty forgiving guy but I've wanted these for a long time and it really pisses me off. Where I'm located I basically have no shot at picking up 04 rails at the pullapart. Charlotte never gets 03's much less 04's.

 

Went camping with the family and some friends only for an rear suspension air bag to blow up. I replaced them both two years ago for a leak and since then I have blown two of them (one on each side). They are under warranty but saying screw it and ordered a conversion kit. Still fighting a slightly hot vehicle as well

 

I have to say I'm getting quite fond of this truck. We've gotten up close and personal after my fan issues documented here:

You can see a pic of the fully sorted out engine bay below. Today I also recharged the AC and now it blows ice cold again. Finally I scored some Thule rails on craigslist for $60 and installed them.

What to put on the rails? Hmm. Cargo basket, SUP rack, Bike Rack... decisions decisions.

 

Don't get toooooo attached as like all trucks it's a heap of rusting metal that costs. I once saw a great quote on here which went "if it's got tires or **** it's going to be trouble" hmmmm, so true.

 

So I spent 3 hours getting my new tires installed Saturday, Walmart was the only place open due to the holiday weekend. Then Sunday start doing a oil change on my Volvo and realize the shop over tightened the canister for the filter, so I run to advance to get a belt drive. Get back and am finishing up when I notice the rover is pouring power steering fluid. I believe the leak was coming from the inlet hose but after reading some of the post on here am wondering if the gasket in the pump blew out. Guess I know what I will be doing on vacation next week.

 

While mine is up on jack stands wanting for coil springs to replace the air bags I have decided to do some catching up on small projects I wanted to do. Removed both front door panels and replaced front speakers. The passenger one sounded blown but looks like water may have gotten to it. The grill had some surface rust so got them both prepped to paint. The previous owner decided to leave out the plastic lining in the door so off to the hardware store tonight for some plastic to make my own.

Ordered some brushed black vinyl wrap and going to wrap the 3 wood grain pieces since I don't like the wood look. Got all three of them removed ready to go. Couldn't believe you had to remove the air bag to get to the dash one.

I installed an aftermarket headunit 2 years back and had some ground noise so for bandaid it I installed a ground loop isolater which killed the sounds quality. Finally pulled that all out and ran two new ground wires just need to get some tapping screws to finish that off. Hopefully that resolved that.

Still need to sand down my wheel arches and paint them. My rear cargo step has been off for few years as well with rust so going to get it fixed up as well. Might have to cut out some sections and weld some new stuff back in but not sure how far gone it is. Just dont want to spend a fortune on a used one. Still deciding if I want to paint my wheels black or leave them alone

 

Every day something new is wrong it seems. Today I just shook my head at my rover as I have no more money to fix it..

 

Installed my extended Watts links from Platinum. Pretty easy install at just around 45 minutes. I probably need to replace the bushings on the pivot link but I can't believe how much they cost.

 

Should have gone panhard! How much were the platinum links?

 

A panhard system is a bit beyond my welding skills which are nil.
I got them from Lucky8 for $266 shipped.

I've got a whole lot to do on the front but right now I am struggling getting an inner pinon race installed so I need to find a nearby shop with a press. I'm not even sure what kind of shop to call.
