Wow, 33k miles! BUY IT!

I've spent the last two days tearing down the engine, removed the rod bearings, main bearings, timing chain, oil pump, water pump, cleaned everything off, now I have to wait for my parts from Rovers North before I can re-assemble. (Hurry up Zach!!)

 

I bought them from expedition exchange. They are the slick rock fab ones...maybe a new color option?

 

Yeah I know right? But she says she would feel uncomfortable driving something so big! She has driven mine without issue, ever with the big ole bull bar and the 2 inch lift, so I don't see the issue!

 

Obviously you have not explained why this vehicle is mandatory, what would happen if you needed to evacuate in hurry? I mean, you guys have almost every kind of natural disaster; Mud Slides, Lava Flows, Hurricanes, Tsunamis, you name it.. She needs an all time 4X4 that can handle the most adverse situations! For the safety of your kids God dammit!

(Good luck)

 

I know, I know... I'm a tire cover addict. This is the latest.

 

Does rovers north do repair work too, or are all of those cars employees?

 

Rovers North doesn't do repair work itself, but Taylor Congleton has his business that's based in the shop at Rovers North.


Congleton Racing And Restoration

 

Installed HD steering rods on my 04 I got from Lucky8. When they came in one of the dust covers was ripped during shipping. I called Justin and he had me a replacement in no time. Best service I've had from anywhere I've ordered parts from so far.

Replaced the radiator in my 04. Old radiator was perfectly fine(less than a year old), but I broke off the nipple that hooks to the little hose to the top of the expansion tank.

Lastly since I was already covered with coolant I added a new 180 thermo, expansion tank, and tank lid to my 99.

Next on the list is new pads, rotors, and ss lines on the 99. My little brother just got his hardship so I'm passing it on to him just have to make sure he has no problem stopping.

 

Stopped to refuel deep in farmlands, and a guy admiring the Rover asks : Is it imported ? Is that a new Toyota ? Who makes that model ?
Could not resist; answered 'Rolls Royce', had no more questions...

 

Repaired both coin/ash trays.
