    1976 Land Rover Series III 109 build "Montoya"

    I would be happy to entertain you with tails of bravado over a brewed or vinted product of your choice. For now, I'll share my tail of woe. Two weeks ago I announced my retirement and since have been working like a dog! Undaunted, I showed the powers that be and bought another might steed. A...

    So the egt tried real hard to be tough, but it failed. Originally, I was going to drill the boss on the front of the exhaust manifold, but that proved difficult. The egr block off plate is the obvious spot, but you have to weld the probe bung in at an angle and the probe is too short to get into...

    Yeah, he was a better character in the movie than Homeland. Hello, campers! Judging by the outstanding hardware on display in this forum, I hope you are using it as intended. I've been working on electrical. Necessary, but boring with little to show for progress as most is internal. However...

    Thanks, Max, you local oaf! Always on the lookout for tips from those who have blazed before me. Bonus! Bonus! Bonus! It was such a gorgeous day in SATX today that I got home a little early and the wife had some girly event to go to, so I puttered around in the driveway. Also, she broke the...

    So the Global Roamer (I assume - not to make an asp out of any of us - that they used to be Global Rover) overdrive is an impressive piece of kit (see how I snuck in that Brit Rover speak?). Really well constructed and easy to install. Here are all of the parts that came with the overdrive (I...

    When I was in the military, the M60 was my weapon of choice. Not only would it eliminate anything that interfered with the plan, but tracer rounds helped illuminate the path forward. Today, my weapon of choice to accomplish the plan seems to be the sawzall. Aptly named, the damn thing will saw...

    Kinda neat...2017 Disco air intake

    Geez, yet another reason that a $300 fender bender now costs $3,000! Don't hit any rocks while off-roading.

    Thanks, TeriAnn! It is the bottom end of the steering arm from the steering box, but no worries. I trimmed the waste gate bracket off and perfect fit.

    And...it's...in...well,sort of. It took three attempt as the engine was slightly rotated and I couldn't get it to line up with the studs. Finally, the third time was a charm, but I got a workout! That ******** was tough. We wrastled and we were at a standoff for about an hour. Then I got one stud...

    So, Maroma beach was beautiful and solitary confinement imposed by the wife allowed me to get a lot of reading done. The bad part about getting older and going to a sunny part of the world is that the sun discovers the new geography of your hairline. I played water volleyball while wearing what...

    I apologize for my lack of an update yesterday. While attempting to capture the requested image, I was discovered and placed in solitary confinement. I did record this alien walking on water while blowing her horn. https://youtu.be/a2KTDC_XMro

    Day two of our captivity and will the horrors never end! The bastages saw us walking on the beach and assumed we were contemplating our escape. They took our shoes and forced us to consume more alcohol. The woman on the cot next to us clearly had two toilet plungers surgically implanted. My wife...

    Day one of our imprisonment in paradise. They have this diabolical approach to create an excruciatingly painful sensory assault. First they shine bright, hot sunshine on you. You sweat, you are forced to strip down as are all of these amazingly beautiful people (some of the females seem to have...

    I'm not usually a fan of red, but the LR choice is a good one and your truck looks awesome. I also like black wheels on just about anything. Keep posting as you make improvements!
