    Beware of this Wanna Be 2005 on EBay

    That is a fake VIN I tried to run the VIN on some of the LR sites and they could not identify it. I wonder what they did to get in in the system the first time??

    Rovers of Nantucket

    That place amazes me We spent a little over a week there again this summer and saw all of those as well as a few more 90s. It seems as if there was a dealership there a while ago who supported a lot of the old ones. They went belly up long ago, but as stated ECR takes care of a lot of the...

    FJ Research Advice

    Timing Timing Funny thing is I just saw a 62 is listed in Denver now off Ih8mud. There is a little rust, and the milage is higher than I would like, but we will see what happens with the job situation for my wife.

    FJ Research Advice

    Thanks for the help everyone Thanks for all of the pointers. The 60 / 62 if the wife's car is lost in a lay off will be my daily driver / CO mountain car. I travel a lot for work so I need to be able to get to the airport in the winter. Right now I have a Sequoia which I use, she gets it as it...

    -A public Thank You! to Pangolin 4x4

    Not Surprised Ike is a stand up guy as well as great welder. His products are top notch and can take all sorts of abuse. I am awaiting a set of his sliders to complete my 88 protection list. His are by far some of the best produced items I have seen. Welcome to the LR club and congrats on the...

    question and thoughts about series & pop ups

    Solid Design Required I think with the popularity of the Dormobiles there would be interest in a solid design. I find this thread interesting and will be following it. I am restoring my Dormobile since i needed more room than my 88 as I have two small kids. The hardest part will be molding...

    do you carry a gun ?

    Do you arm yourself when camping? For several reason I carry while in the backcountry or non improved sites. Family sites no. I know this is touchy, and I may be breaking some rules, however I would rather ask for forgivness if put in that situation. I am sure if used for self defense I...

    Legal Question

    East Coast Rovers They have a great write up on the subject and seem to have the most information on what is legal. I would look their site over as they site the actual import rules with links to their source. Although it would be nice to dream about a 130 with say a 109 vin and title :) Not...

    109 Expedition rig build

    Stall Mats I have them in the rear of my 88. The tar smell took a little while to go away but you could throw an engine block back there and never hurt it. I will rhino line the rear of my dormobile and then see what I need to put down on top of it.

    New VDEGs: Vehicle-Dependent Expedition Guide

    You guys stop I mean it is killing me mine is not here yet. I was able to busy myself working in the garage on the Dormobile and the 88 cleaning Moab dust out of her but I can only hold on a little longer. The Dormobile build up will use a lot of the information I get from this book. DHL where...

    Should I buy a Range Rover?

    This post is not bashing After the Discovery thread I vowed not to post up for advice to perspective owners as it seems we may have some thin skin in the LR forum. I would not call any of this bashing as it is all basically the truth. The resale value of the 50 k to 60 k vehicle states the...

    New VDEGs: Vehicle-Dependent Expedition Guide

    If you get yours first don't rub it in I am afraid of the folks who get theirs first being able to rub it in that they live closer to the shipping source. Pictures of them by the fire absorbing all of the knowledge. making us all jealous that the DHL guy has not stopped by yet Maybe Denver...

    starter motor for a Land Rover Lightweight?

    She's alive!! Ok, So I am impressed with the starter motor as far as it turns that 2.25 over like a 350 big block. There is no denying that it turns it a lot faster. It is smaller so easier to get in as long as you do not have the block heater plug in the block under the manifold. I could...
