By the time shop is tucked in, I'm often too beat to work on my own stuff, but I've been selling off a lot of my running vehicles and now my last little beater blew the radiator, which will be a few days to arrive. So I have been forced to finish this engine install. Really hoping to put in a long night and get it done!
Had a hiccup where the cam sensor that had been on the used engine was no good, so had to let it cool down to swap sensors. That's quite a toasty location haha.
But my steering box that has been thinking about failing is began peeing all over the place, OF COURSE!
It's so good to be back on the road, even if now I need to buy more parts haha.
Nothing physically done to it but pulled up some pics of it over the past 17yrs of ownership. I'm the 2nd owner, I purchased it in 2007 and took it with me when transferred abroad. The ole girl has been all over the world with me - Moldova, Romania, Ukraine, Israel, Jordan, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, now here in the US. I've done all the typical LR work to keep it in good repair, she still has original HGs. Upgrades and replacements that I recall: in-line therm, greaseable prop shaft, upgraded front bumper, fan motor, Ole Man Emu shocks and steering stab, coils/plugs/wires, belts and hoses (several times), ps pump (twice), CPS (on the shoulder of an interstate), oils and lubes regularly, recently replaced the headliner and swapped out the old incandescents with LEDs, so much more I don't recall. Family photo in Zambia Followed by elephants in Zimbabwe Dead Sea, Israel Zebra watching in Zambia Most recent pic Cutie in the back seat on safari in Zambia. Brake change in Malawi with my helper Northern Moldova On the lookout in Zimbabwe.
