Fixed the broken coin tray, and added a usb phone charger cable. I have been pondering a discreet way to run power and stumbled upon the idea. I posted photos on another thread if interested.

No pics again. I replaced the rear bags and air compressor ("preventative"), and the best bit of all, drove my friend down to San Diego to pick up his first land rover, a 2007 LR3 HSE.

getting the white disco prepped for a camping season I'm not sure the motor is going to survive through...replaced a worn t-case mount, in the process of moving the winch into the new to me bumper and wiring up some roof lights (not my favorite location for lights but the rack was begging for something to be put there..). Picking up a rebuilt tom woods front shaft tomorrow as well. Have a trip in two weeks to go down to Sand dunes NP or whatever it's called and hoping the rain quits so I can finish up the disco for a quick shake down this Saturday.




Control box will need to be rewired as winch was previously mounted upside down in an ARB bumper.

Little bit of trimming coming up


Bonus big girls shot. Not many rovers make my classic look small but 37in treps will do it.

Living the dream @whowa004 ! The temption to get a classic rover is strong (mainly a 110 with pop top conversion) but I don't think I can let go of my classic 911 to do it. There's not enough space and freetime to take care of both I don't think.

Did the inline thermostat mod on my d2. Dropped the idle temps by 20 degrees F. It had the hot 190F factory thermostat, and it looked OLD.

A couple quick shots from Uwharrie Safari this year. Exploded a CV, limped back to camp. Won "least likely to get home under its own power". Had an awesome time, can't wait for next year.

Just doing some preventative maintenance this week. After this the entire cooling system should be replaced.

Yikes! How did you address the exploded CV?

Who is that in the driver's seat of your truck in the first pic? Is that the Mrs?

I would have been there Saturday, but I had a Scouting commitment this weekend.

BTW, nice looking wheels.
