There is a lot to be said for just slowing down and enjoying the view...probably one of the most therapeutic aspects of a vehicle like Rango :coffeedrink:

If you can stand the lower top speed, then I'd go with the 5.38s as a simple solution before I'd re-power etc, otherwise, I'd maybe look into a different transfer case option.:coffeedrink:

What did you end up going with for the roof color? Very curious to see how it turned out :coffeedrink:

What became of your idea to retrofit a low range quadratrac unit? Personally, I'd go with 4:88 gearing and the quadratrac unit to retain drivability and still have an ultra low range solution :coffeedrink:

My wife drives her 1989 Range Rover all over the place, bone stock except for 1" lift HD springs and Bilstein Shocks & stabilizer, and kept well tuned, gets 17mpg, and I drive my highly modified 1997 Discovery I about a third of the time to work [62mile round trip] to keep everything lubed &...

In most of the photos I see of the expedition, there is no love for the mysterious truck with the black canopy pictured here in the middle - what is it's role in the expedition, what is it, how is it equipt, why is it exlcuded from many of the photos, etc? I like this thing and want to know more...

That is just awsome - I love this Rover! What drivetrain is powering & moving this rig? What axles etc? I need more pics and info :coffeedrink:

What you are doing with your mechanical carb is almost a lost art in today's world of computer controlled garbage - good work! BTW, how are the tranny & T-Case doing? Did you ever find a suitable sollution to your front drive-shaft output issue from the t-case? :coffeedrink:

I'd love to know if anyone on the forum has converted one to 4x4, as I have always thought these would make great camping & weekend-weeklong beach & woods getaway expedition vehicles :coffeedrink:

I am using Internet Explorer 9.

Their seems to be a problem with their website, as when I try to go there, my computer asks me if I want to download or save it, as though I had clicked on a file to download. Strange...
