You..a one Rover man???? Have I slipped into some bizzare parallel universe!?? Good luck with the sale friend. Trade you a IIa for the RRC.....

I'm guessing the winch bumper is factory and it looks nice but it sure does kill the approach angle.

That's painful to look at Michael, looks like you where doing very well, until THAT moment.

thrice on the IIa-IMHO it offer the most rover-ness per dollar and is much easier to find parts for, etc. With on OD they can approach 60 with glacial like voracity and they are mules on the trail.

22K for a rusty series would be a very high price no matter what year (except maybe a 48). That's nearly Defender money. Are you looking for a 55 or just a series Rover?

What model(s) are these for? I know that some items will work for several models but I'm not sure about these. If you could post a picture or two that would be great.

Nice report-wierd about the mosqito's, it is early for them on the beach but I'll bet they were pushed ahead of the storm and/or getting the heck out of it's way from the swamps on the main land.

Sorry I forgot the rear seat in the DII is different than my DI. I don't have the link handy but there is a free download of the RAVE which is a very detailed program the dealers use in the shop. It has scematics of the body panels and directions on removing the trim. On the DI there isn't much...

With the weight you mentioned (200lbs) I think you will need to support that platform on the ends and in the middle. If you can fit widthwise why not just sleep in the back seat and let the dog have the cargo area?

Great shot Ryan-love the eyes!

The car with ROVER on the boot lid is a P4-not sure of the year but late 60's. It was made by Rover Cars Ltd. which was also the company that made Land Rover. The SIII would be a total tear down, full restoration. Most of it is there but if it can be salvaged is in question. You would be better...

I have a feeling that a lot of us would loose our minds and wallets in a salvage yard in the UK.

Do a tap test along the frame with a hammer or screwdriver-you want to hear a ring rather than a thud. The body is aluminum but be sure to check the door bottoms and the tail gate.

What are expectations and budget ideas for the restoration? The main rust area for a Rangie is the rear tail gate and surround for the glass-both are available. The heater cores often need replacement and the electrical can be a challenge but nothing that patience can solve. Mechanically it is...

I see, I guess I heard the condensed version but in this day and age it's all mega corporations that own everything so I'm sure that is correct. I'm thrilled to be getting a good deal on a 7mm rsm. The scope is Bushnell 45 so something I will probably upgrade but we'll see.

Thanks Steve, from what I'm finding I think you are dead on. I will to be very careful to keep the mag with the rifle and find a spare to keep handy. With my work schedule which is often very busy during deer season I doubt I'll do more than 1-2 trips to hunt a year and those will be to hunt...

I buying a Winchester Model 70 classic DBM 7mm rem mag soon. From my research this looks be a 94 model that was discontinued in 95 and features a return to the pre 64 action. The serial # is G35604 but it seems that finding build date info for this period at Winchester is not easy.Any one have a...

Thanks for the insight Steve. The Pelicans I have now are large box type cases so I would not have thought of flex in the case. I don't think I'll ever make it to Africa but I can relate with the issues you mentioned as I travel a lot for business and also dislike having to keep up with...

I was just thinking it would be cool to just have either a brushed or polished aluminum finish on the body to match the raw galvy bulkhead, it would have that classic grumman sea plane look

Looks like I'm going to get a Winchester 70 7mm (woot!) and I would like to travel with it to hunt with my cousin in northern MI and maybe with some friends in SC. The MI trip might involve air travel so I was wondering if the Pelican 1700 is OK with TSA and/or if there is a better choice. I...
