Today I fixed my driver side limb riser that was a bit saggy, fixed my exhaust which had apparently slipped out of the hanger, installed the Terrafirma fuel tank guard, and put a new window regulator in the passenger side door after sooooo many months of it not working haha. Next is fix the exhaust leak at the Y pipe to manifold gasket, put in the sway bar disconnects, and install the ARB compressor.

 

Replaced front and rear diff fluid with 85-140. Greased both drive shafts. Removed the original LR running boards and front mud flaps. Truck looks much better now. Had a burned out headlight bulb so swapped in a pair of new Phillips Extreme H7 bulbs.

 

Ghetto-installed a rear view / backup camera today.

I know it's probably frowned upon by most, but I did the inline thermostat conversion. Just sick of dealing with the land rover thermostat. I have been through 3 motorads and all have failed way too soon for my likings.

After the new thermostat I replaced the fluid in my t-case and front and rear diffs with mobil1 75/90, since it's my dd I didn't figure there was any need to go heavier.

Then to finish it off my airbox lid clips have been broken for months and I've just been using zip ties. Decided to dremel the plastic clip holders down flush on the lid and used 2 $3 draw hasp I got from lowes. A little snug but works perfect. would much rather spend $6 on clips than pay for a new lid.

 

Installed Terrafirma +2 rear shocks. I am still waiting for the air bag spacers to come in. When they do I will install them along with the front coils and shocks.

I also replaced a header ( don't recall the number, it was the gray one in the pass foot well) that was good giving me OBD II port issues. The pins were corroded pretty bad. 20 splices later, everything is good.

 

Just finished a head gasket job about an hour ago, and it runs great!!!!! Let me say this, if you can navigate this forum, have a decent tool set, and some common sense. You can do this job no problem. Don't get discouraged, it's really just time consuming. This website is a must if your a rover owner, there is such a wealth of info here. Thanks every one for the info. Oh and one more thing, DO NOT TAKE IT TO A SHOP for this job!!!! The local shop said it'd be a 4000 dollar job, I'd say I spent around 700 dollars. It would've been less if I didn't need a few certain tools, and I replaced a few other things while I was at it.

 

Traded it in on a Subaru.

 

Please tell me it was at least a 2004/05 Impreza WRX STi, blue with gold wheels! That is the only way I could be okay with this trade!

 

Traded for a Subaru??? I wouldn't know what the hell to do with all my spare time not working on my rovers.

 

Installed the slickrock fab disconnects, they're great!
