The start of "Project Blackwater"

[LeoLR]

I got the truck degreased tonight and got a good test drive. Ordered the alternator and got the belt tonight. So tomorrow Im putting on the new belt and alternator. Aswell as the transmission and transfer case.

Ok seattled on Michelin LTX A/T2's. A good balancy for me. Decided 245/75R16.





So white letters in or out?

Definitely mounted facing in. White letters showing are just like so gauche. :ylsmoke:
Not Roverish at all.

How about when they say "Land Rover" on them?
But I haven't seen those in a very long time.

I can see how there could be some cool factor associated with that. I've never seen it before, but I'm still a newbie to the LR world. Much to learn have I from the Land Rover Jedi.

Do you have a tire mounted on the hood of the classic?

 

[LeoLR]

Made it to work. Man a/c is nice. 8) Now I see what my wife is pissing and moaning about constantly. :lol:



Probbly not my smartest move considering I lack a spare. But oh well.


Yes I have a relocated spare on the Classic.

Great tires. I have about 35k miles on them on the wife's 03 4Runner and they have been great. They wear well and are as quiet as the previous non-AT tires on the truck. Great road manners and decent offroad. I don't rock-crawl..




Definitely white letters inside!!

Great deal on the truck...

 

[LeoLR]

Well I just finished for the night. Transmission fluid changed, transfer case oil changed, new alternator installed, and new belt also installed. I got started moving my radio equipment over from the Classic. Tranny fluid was bad, glad I changed it. Shifts alittle smoother.


Not much going to be done tomorrow I have to finish getting my stuff out of the Classic. Have to remove the bumper and winch too.


Cooling it done

You're making good time on this project-keep it up!

Tires came in this morning. Kudos to Firestone in Pensacola, they got me special order Michelins in less than a day.

Tires go on Sunday, have to trim first.

 

[LeoLR]

I got the truck detailed today. What a mess, I mean holy ******** its a wreck. But its clean now. Nothing technical today.
