I don't want to speak to Don's issues but my experience with the LR3 + ARB as it relates to the winch clutch is that there is very little room to manipulate it based off how the bumper is built and where the winch sits. You end up needing G.I. Joe sized hands or doing a lot of fingertip...

Since I'm on my computer, here's my Brooklands Green RRC... A bit less awesome than yours. By way of background it was a blown head gasket/rust bug bitten truck I purchased as a parts vehicle in tribute to my buddy after my daughter rolled one of his trucks (long story). We decided we wanted...

All of which, absent prob the parking brake cable (just get a new one from somewhere like Lucky 8, AB, RN, etc) you should just get from the donor vehicle. It is a relatively straight forward process-though can be a lot of cursing. If you go down this path post back up. Here's a shot from my...

If you are going LT230, go ahead and get an LT230Q, came in the later D1's (~97 and beyond) as well as Dii's. A little quieter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's a good looking truck! If memory serves me that is the only year for Brooklands green; I got a can of touch up from Tower Paints that did ok but my project and yours aren't quite on the same level as all we were trying to do was make it mostly green (again). Have fun. r- Ray

Jason Lavender ('Lav') from SDO should have them back fairly soon-from discussions with him they (Nakatenga) ran out of stock and thus production was behind. He's a good dude, tell him Ray sent you. r- Ray

So a few more details may be useful; what year is the truck-and when was it imported (bc 200tdi's were never an NAS engine, neither were 300tdi). 200's started going in Rovers circa 1989 so someone could have grabbed one that was past the sunset and brought her in of course. Sent from my...

Range Rover Classics are what you are talking about and by and large they have gone up in price worldwide as folks recognize there are fewer and fewer. That said, if you can find a non-rusty 2 door for less than the premium you are now seeing for the NAS RRCs by all means, bring it in-same...

Odd. The two that I have been a part of went into the green, one did need new rear upper arms so it wasn't immediate but still went into spec. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No big plans past fixing some stuff to get it back toward right (she isn't original, and can't really get back to that-so call it a rolling pseudo resto). Mostly just want to get a soft top on it and drive it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We shall see. Technically this is the wife's truck-so I'm letting her take the lead on where she wants to document. I'm just the chief mechanic. ;) r- Ray

AB trailer wiring harness & towing while coil sprung & using the rhino hitch Truck continues to do well with her duties, miles tend to be some local errands and then weekend trips since I can use public transit to get to work these days. An opportunity popped up about 10 days ago to...

Wife got her dream truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Clearly it will sag when you are towing your 'new to you' S1 home, but negligible effect on handling. Will def through the HDs on at some point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That looks well put together. Congrats! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The old 'it will ruin the ride' commentary. So, let's unpack that a bit. Your truck is over 10yrs old with over 100k miles; the replacement with an AMK compressor will probably last the life of the vehicle in realistic terms (call it another 10yrs, 100k miles-unless you really like these...

I will be, but that's b/c I already have the MD (aka the 'Premium' kit) installed but want HD in the back. If I were doing it from scratch I'd just do HD.

Fantastic pics, thanks for sharing. Keep the 5 speeds on the road and finding adventure! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Locker is not essential by any means. First off you need to determine what you mean by wheeling it; ie if you want to rock crawl this is the wrong platform anyway. It is always good to wheel it in stock form first, then start modifying-knowing that everyone modification is a compromise...

It is a great camping location if the family is in to that. Very good views up on the hill with enough room to spread out. I think I'll have at least one of my kiddos with me, the youngest still has time in her schedule for dad at least!
