Yikes!

http://bringatrailer.com/2015/04/08/impressive-build-v8-swapped-1967-land-rover-109-series-2a/ Typical commentary from BaT, and good pictures, crosslinks to eBay ad. I'm on an iPad, so I can't easily cross-post the pictures, but they're pretty good about maintaining advertisemets/articles even...

Nice color! I forget, did you decide on a top yet ... what color will it be? Interior?

The dog bed is a fantastic idea ... thanks!

The question was directed at jhughes ... I'm well aware the two joints are different (all you have to do is look at them, to realize that ... the m205 joints have a bolted diff-side mounting flange and the r180 joints have a splined diff-side stub shaft that inserts into the differential)...

That's really very interesting ... there was discussion on the same topic over on the equivalent thread on NewX (see post #20), and assertions were made to the contrary! Sounds like it may be another occurrence of nuanced differences between years - the two reports (yours and that one) need not...

Awesome ... your Monday sounds far preferable to mine; I was speeding the day in front of a computer, fighting with I-Deas (CAD) ... and being taunted by a gorgeous Colorado spring day peeking through the window.

Thanks for chiming in, Dave! Always love an excuse to check out that bumper ... and the truck's looking good, as well. Are you running rear spacers, and if so, what width? I feel the need to point out that the TS Dave is referring to is the Titan *suspension* swap ... as proper4wd has pointed...

Busted ... I guess the implication from my previous post was that I'd already installed that configuration. Truth is, that's the *end point* that I've decided upon ... I've been slowly (sometimes it feels like *too* slowly) acquiring parts, and am now at the point where I'm basically ready to...

I responded to your thread over on NewX, but for giggles I'll cross post it here, as well: I'm curious about the differences in opinion from this board to that one, as well ... will be watching both threads. FWIW, the m205 (open) is not the silver bullet some make it out to be, they can be...

You know what they say about it only being money and not being able to take it with you, right ... oh, and only living once? Anyway, it's a cool trailer; and if there's anyone who deserves to get it, it would be someone from the Overland International crew.

That's pretty killer ... very drool worthy addition.

I like it, it looks great.

Yeah, that does sound more practical and space-efficient; however I'll fully confess to being bitten by the "because I want it and it'll look (and/or be) cool" bug on more than one occasion.

If you're 5'11" and 175# and it feels small, then definitely stretch it ... for purely selfish reasons, I'm 6'3" and 180# ... I want to be able to drive it! (Gotta keep the dream alive, anyway!) :elkgrin::snorkel::roost: ... hey, it's my birthday; a guy can dream, right? Still say you ought...

I like it ... I think the proportions will be a lot more balanced.

They likely just don't want to do anything other than "stock" for liability reasons, some places are like that ... I wouldn't keep going back there, especially if you're going up in size ... but that's just my opinion. I ran through two sets of 255x85r16 Toyo MTs (over the course of ~60k miles)...

The OME setup is a very solid choice ... I'm not sure I've talked to anyone who's installed it, that has complaints other than occasional squeaking/noises (from lack of lubrication) from the replacement leaf packs - and most rave about the performance over stock. Any way you go, you'll probably...

Man, the proportions on those RB passenger vans ... all Ujoint equipped with the low-profile bumper and all (V5, Ken's Van, Vandiana, etc) ... something about that is just so appealing. The contrast of the lighter body, with the dark windows and black wheels/bumpers/grill really works ... at...

How soon is it before the TD42t Y61s are 25 years old, again? Dang ... I know yours isn't equipped with that motor, but rather the 2.8L; but either way, like arla, I'll add to the cries for these types of trucks to come to the US. It's cool to see some more of the Patrol threads popping up...
