This is a good thread and thought I would add my .02 to the thread. I admit, I am not an expert on Rover's. So I dont know the exacts of the vehicle line. But I have built roll cages for many, many different 4x4's in my 10 years as a professional fabricator. Some good points were brought...

Great thread and great idea. I read your previous post and was wondering how your trip went. Looks cold!

I did. Thanks. I built all of it actually. Its my boy and I try to spoil him when I can.

I admit, I take the easy way out when I travel on my own. uh um.. as in bachelor style. Boil 16 OZ of water. Open bag and pour. Stir. Stir some more. Let stand for 6-8 minutes. Eat. I admit, I am addicted to freeze dried food. :chowtime: No mess, easy to clean up. Pot is...

I know a few guys who have have wheeled their Cherokees into the ground. Out here in Arizona, rocks are common and with rocks come lots of flex, and lots of stress. After a years of abuse, the chassis was litteraly failing. (seams turing into cracks, cracks turning into tears) I would imagine...

OK, I got it done... well almost. I got the hard part out of the way which was making the snorkel itself. I used some 3" exhaust tube that was pre-mandrel bent. I ended up making several cuts, 5 in all, to get it all right. The scoop is a from a snorkel hat I was given years ago. I have...

I am diggin' that map case. That can be handy. PM or email me about it.

The rock sliders are your typical slider, nothign fancy. Steel tube, welded to the frame. I used 4 gusseted supports to the frame and the it mostly made out of 1.75X.120 (wall) round tube. The only drag about sliders for the full size trucks is the frame is pretty far away from the edge...

Thanks for the comments on the tube work. I built most of that back in 2004. I think I am going to stick with stock set up. With the 285's that's on thre now, it drives fine and does well on the road and trail. It has a stock limited slip that still works pretty good. It has helped me out of...

I have ONE payment left on my truck and its all mine. So, in celebration of this event:wings: I finally got some new tires worthy of showing off and I thought I'd post some pics and brag him a little bit. Besides, some domestic love cant hurt. Its 1999 Dodge 1/2 Ram with a 318 V-8, automatic...

Well, I admit, while enjoy the "expo" way of life, I still have some hardcore 4wheelin blood in me. So I openly admit, I am coming from a different perspective. Here is a page out of my book of Life.....Enter Joe Blow, braggin about his all decked out Whatever 4x4 and his big lift and fancy...

Wow. I have never seen that before. Dont really need one, but I think I will make a few just because. Cant hurt to have a back up.

Dude, Sweet shots. Cool, way cool.

Actually, the standard mounting pattern for personal recovery winches, generaly under 10,000 is, 4.5" by 10". Lookin' good. Keep us posted. :)

*I admit, I dont know much about Rovers. Just havent had the chance to work on them much. with out hearing the squeak, hard to say. So these are more of a generic list of trouble shooting ideas If the noise is inside, the it is most likely somewhere on the column among the bearings. Squeaky...

Welcome to the ExPo :wavey: Board. I myself recently was turned on to this board. And it has been great. Outstanding folks here with deep well of knowledge and expeirence. My wife would love that heater option.... Need to look into that.

I got to 2nd KCOW idea. I have one of those in my RV and quite a few of mu customers have them. Dont let the size fool you, it works just as well as any other larger size unit. Nice display, all the weather channels (a must) and other goodies. Nice thign about it, as you can mount the...

Nice! I can feel the excitement about the new rubber. Fews mods and upgrades you can do have the effect like new tires. :jumping: I have been stuck on my OEM type, generic but free 265/75/16's (they look way smaller than that) since March of 05'. My old tires were done and my wedding...

Wow! You guys have quite the list of good stuff. I am going to have to remember that as a resource for my folks. You have alot of products that are hard to come by in the traditonal offroad shops here in Phoenix. Very cool. I might have to forward this on to Santa as well....:)

I admit, I still a bit dreary from just wakeing up :coffee: but here is some insight. If you came facotry with 265's, you wont notice much differnece with 285's. Which is the size I run. You might be 3-4 miles off at 60 which isnt much in the grand scheme of things. ExPo West has a point...
