Hi all just wanted To to say thanks up front for all the info I've found so far on here , as this is my only land rover I've ever owned and I gotta say I'm hooked
1997 4.0 auto 245/70/16at .... gathering parts now for it ..here's my list . Sway bay bushings +links , shocks , 15/40 oil + Bosch filter , denso wires + platinum denso plugs , starter , bank 2 number 2 o2 senser , scanner and probably a few more things lol that I don't know about yet . Already fixed exhaust leak and track bar tie rod ends + steering dampener and rubber drive shaft coupler .

 

Welcome. Dive right in!

 

Well add a skid plate gas tank strap thingy to the parts ..lol about a 1/4" on one side and 2" on other is holding it up , all the rest is rusted away , plus a ratchet strap now and Fri I'll have a new rovers north skid plate , glade I decided to change diff fluid Sunday or my tank probably would of fell out as I drive Daily to work

 

And so it begins...

But, seriously...welcome aboard! Sounds like you're jumping right in without testing the water, which is fine.

Good luck, and post up some pictures.

Brian.

 

Lots of sanding left for new camo job
Yip I'm in trouble ..lol .. I've spent 1100 buying it and about $7-800 in parts and make her daily driver ready so far so good , pile of parts for this weekend sitting here and for some dumb reason I can't wait to wrench on her , she's gotta Lotta life left at 149000 miles , I just knew she'd get me outta Florida if a class 5 hurricane hit , and my jeep tranny went out and since jeeps are for girls , I now own a disco 1 .....I'll post some pics later

 

Still sanding , sat morning parts start going on , new rovers north gas tank plates here , mayb nxt pd order snorkle and sand more of this black plastic dip off , it stupid some peels rgt off some dont wanna come off .

 

Well its nice and on now but wasn't as easy as i thought had two trim it down to clear hitch
Peaces cut off so it would clear hitch mount angle bars

 

The bolts were hardest part , they didn't wanna come loose had to get help from air impact my harbor freight one didn't do it lol
