Hello all!

Default Electric conversion
When you say '72 Land Rover, I assume you mean a series 3 or late 2a? If so, 88" or 109" Wheelbase?

military springs and shackles should handle the weight

I think he meant the LR itself may be too heavy, not how much weight it could handle...but it has been 10 years, so, lol....
