The IIa is sold. I have an opportunity to get another Rover but sadly this one will have to go first. -1964 IIa 88 regular, LHD. -2.25 petrol with weber carb -Body is straight and clean,no dents or evidence of prior damage. -235/85 r 16, good rubber all round -Solid chassis and bulkhead. No...

If it's one rod a 9 ft 8 wt should do fine. If you can carry an extra spool or two you could load one with 9wt, weight forward for heavier stuff and another with 7 wt for bass. In the Ft Lauderdale-Miami area there are tons of road-side canals that hold big peacock bass that would be fun. Get...

I think he has a event on the calendar this summer that might even get it dirty!:ylsmoke:

Wow! Very impressive, good luck with the sale!

Well it's a longish story but I've got a chance to get a very nice LR but this one has to go to make that happen. She was my first classic car and LR so I will miss her badly and remember her fondly when she sells. It really came down to not being able to use it as much as I'd like do to safety...

So would it now be a Chevrover or a Land Roverlet?

Here is a link to my craigslist ad. I am going to get some more detailed photos together and post here tomorrow but if anyone wants to see something specific just let me know. http://eastnc.craigslist.org/cto/2385339915.html

Ok finally made a decision-got my wife to order the Leupold 4.5x14x50 VX-3 with illuminated Boone and Crockett reticle, birthday is on the 29th so it will be then until I get to see it. Can't beat getting a $1100 scope for $629! Thanks for the heads up on sample list (swfa).

Sounds like the 1-2 shift on my IIa so I guess LR never totally fixed that issue. I have to double the IIa as it doesn't have a syncro on 1 and 2. Don't rush the shift and you'll be fine. Give it a two count on the shift to allow the cog speed to match and it should be fine, remember it's a...

Well, you mentioned B Day money....:sombrero:

Getting the hang around Nat Geo photogs will reap rewards-I'm jealous! A circular polarizer filter allows you to rotate the filter around to place the darker area of the filter over the brighter area and is helpful in full sunlight. Sometimes the light is just too much and the pic will loose...

You're working with the right guy! Good to see you today Dale, that XD is one nice build.

I admit when I saw the Zeiss I got pretty excited and it looks like they have a heck of a warranty. If the glass is any where near as good as their photo lens glass than it should be a bully of a scope. I'm thinking the Zeiss is the way to go and I need to buy it quick before I my head explodes!

I think I spied a good old oil can/pump at a local agri-supply. I need to go back and get it.

Called swfa-the scopes are still under warranty but can't be sold as new. So it sounds like they are cosmetic blemishes or demo's. The guy at the shop recomended Vortex over Leupold so that through a wrench in my plans, I also noticed they have a Zeiss on the sample list for less than the...

Yep, that's the one and I share your opinion. The one thing it's good at is siphoning gas out of my IIa's tank before I dropped it and had it cleaned-everything else has been too much trouble.

I ended up just adding it to the oil, I'll pick up some seafoam for the injectors.

I've got something similar but it's more a siphon pump where you put one tube into the source and the other into the item getting the fluid. I had so little to add that it was easier to just squeeze it in from the bottle. When I was filling the trans on my IIa the pump was very handy, as was the...

You got that right! I've still got the stock springs so my nose was about an inch from the P brake case while (or should it be whilst) I was wrenching off the bolt with my 1/2 drive socket wrench. 2" lift is in the plans and will help out a lot in getting under her.

Looks like tomorrow will work. I plan to leave early and my wife will drive the 4Runner.
