Forgive my ignorance on the new rovers, but if you break a CV can you not continue on the other axle? At least on pavement where there is sufficient traction? Even my little IFS geo tracker could be field repaired to continue on the the other axle (ignoring that I could just put it in 2WD and...

Trevor is a great mechanic and true enthusiast out in Elizabethtown, PA. Not too far from parts of NJ. http://www.british4x4specialists.com/British_4x4s_About_the_Owner_Elizabethtown_PA.html

I like it! Here's a Classic that I think looks good. But I'm not sure if top was ever made.

Sorry to hear that Justin - you going to rebuild/replace?

I completely understand.

haha, probably will. Its entertaining for me at least following along with all the gossip. Its always interesting to see all the new stuff coming out in the auto industry even if I never have intentions of actually buying something. There's a jeep sticker out there: "real jeeps are built not...

Doubt it. Though, my reason for not buying it would be because of all the discovery-like electronics. For me four wheeling is something I do because it is fun and a way to get outdoors and away from modern life. Its all the beeps, dings, computer screens, fault codes, and the million...

Got any carnage picts?

I always like following build ups, especially of something different, so i'd follow along. But I don't own one and never will.

I used Doetsch on a Cherokee. The shocks have been good overall, but the bushings were terrible. Don't throw out your old ones....

When I did the V8 to 300 Tdi conversion, I had to put my V8 temp sender in the Tdi block to get the gauge to read correctly. It always was almost in the red zone with the Tdi sender. I just drilled/tapped a brass plug (versus the stock plastic one) and screwed it into the top of the t-stat...

Two other things to throw into the mix that haven't been brought up yet. The first is that if the CDL is locked the hand brake works both front and rear axles versus just the rear. Better for parking on steep/loose surfaces. I suppose it is generally easy enough to avoid these parking...

I know I'm not Justin, but I spent many years wheeling with my dad's CDL equipped '99 DII and still do on occasion. When I hooked up the CDL back in about 2001, I had a LR mechanic tell me the same thing. 12 years later and no blown case and it is still working perfectly with 325k miles on it...

I ended up making a pair for my RRC a few years ago. I don't have the best picture of the final product on my computer, but it gives you an idea. The CAD pic probably shows them best. I didn't need anything hardcore so I stuck with 1/8" material and kept them relatively light. The sills...

Glad to see it on some rocks! 12" of ground clearance sounds pretty good with the push of a button. How does the optional rear locker in these work? I assume it is not driver controlled, so does it still need some wheel spin to engage? Then does it disengage after a preset time or something...

haha - they are unreliable. That's what consumer reports says at least. Our DII is on its last legs however at 325k right now. Head gaskets at 78k and that's it for the engine internals. Other than oil leaks, the drivetrain is still in amazing condition (especially for its age) but there are...

Wow! I really like the tan with black on that LR4.

I've had generally good luck with proline and other aftermarket replacement parts. The one big exception was the proline water pump though. It was for a DII and lasted 15k miles. It failed catastrophically on the highway and cost $400 to get towed back home so i certainly didn't save any...

Looking good Justin! Glad to see a P38 in use, though sorry to hear about the electrical gremlins coming out.

I'm certainly not saying the LR2 is any good off road compared to other rovers, but when you look around on the different boards here at expedition portal it is amazing what people will do with even more on road oriented vehicles. A lot of people are content with "dirt roading" with their...
