Sweet!!

 

Recovery. Well, not quite...but it allowed me to use my recovery gear.



Taking the 04 to work to do a few things...and getting it out of the way for a few loads of gravel (parking area expansion).

Hope the dweeb patrol doesn't senence me to life in forum jail or banish me to forever look for that elusive 10mm socket for this post.

Drove 7hr round trip to pickup the LR I always dreamed about owning!!! Yes the floor & rockers are rusty & honestly I just don’t care! I’m going to fix the high idle, make it road worthy and enjoy it. If a chunk falls off I’ll start learning how to weld lol.

Besides the rust it is very clean inside outside and the cloth seats are intact without a single tear. Something about the older RRC & D1’s but they have a totally different smell to the interior (reminds me of old military canvas). Gonna have to trouble shoot all the aux light wiring also, but I was happy to find 3 Safarigard items under it = 2 diff guards & front skid.

 

Very cool. Jealous!

 

Drivers seat mod to provide some much needed leg room.
Gained about 3" of leg room by adding brackets to relocate the seat track gear guide.
Not the best pic but the tab under the bracket is where the guide used to attach.
Its now back about 3" and bolted to the new bracket. The front of the bracket is bolted to an existing hole that was unused.

 

Apart from cleaning the engine compartment, anything else that's worth doing while engines are out of the bay? Maybe maintenance of some sort on the transmission?

 

Front end lamp guards. What do you guys/gals think? Metal guards, photo included is their stock picture, I will upload my own when installed.

 

I removed and cleaned out the Fram FV308 PCV valve with carb cleaner.
That thing was dirty inside which still makes it a great mod.

 

i would love a write up on this.

 

Google D2 Drivers seat mod or D2 more leg room.
I found a couple of old threads with info.
The original thread is gone so a new one with pics would be nice.
