HA! classic

well the rover sold last night, yea! even got to keep my dual battery setup, so that's a bonus. time to start collecting parts for the impending t-belt/plugs/lifters service I guess!

good info, I will have to give that a try next. I did some sea foam over the weekend and I thought it had solved it but it only lasted a day, so I don't know if it actually did anything or if it just randomly quieted down for a day.

haha when I was researching these and saw 35s really weren't out of the question, I knew it was the only option for tire size for me. I have 33s on the disco and with lockers that's about the limit you wanna run unless you are ready to put new shafts in, and that's fine, but with 33s all I could...

that was my exact plan if I just did the gears, makes the most sense, less down time. wish they still had the 3.15's, I wouldn't have any issue with clearance stuff for them to fit. haha would be hard to turn down being a test monkey! could probably even make it easier on you in the fab...

Yea I found that gear kit from marks already, and a couple of things about the case swap. also read about the diff swaps which is deff gunna be on the list after 35s lol. anyone know the cost/work trade off of the two options? seems like grabbing another tcase and doing a gear swap in it and...

far as I can tell its deff all original. I was able to crawl around it more yesterday after work. the guy had it for 6 years and put well below average miles on it. has a brand new alternator and accessory belts, so he was trying at least lol. even has the adjustable suspension! as well as...

Yea it sure is nice having a low gear THAT low though haha you aren't the first monty person I have seen that was formerly a rover person, its reassuring that I am on the right track lol

So I did a thing. As some may remeber I am a Land Rover guy that has had thoughts of switching to a monty for quite some time now. Have had my eyes peeled for something just right to finally tip me over the edge and pull the trigger. here is the rover on a local trail for anyone that may be...

the guy is being a total pain to deal with, anytime I say I can get out there to check it out (2 hours away) he says he cant do it... still making an attempt though

yea I asked about trades/part trades to see if I could streamline the process but he said he already has too much stuff haha. still in conversations with him though. found out that the windshield has a crack in it, and the fuel gauge doesn't work. yea I am pretty sure just about anything will...

currently in contact with this guy http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/5794180461.html he has service records from his ownership point 6 years ago, only put 75k on it in those 6 years, hasn't done the timing belt on it so its prolly about due? I am getting antsy to figure something out with...

Seems cheap as hell for what I'm seeing here http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/5792765291.html

http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/5779166842.html wish this was closer so I could go check it out

04 or move to the gen3 monty, most monty owners I have spoke with say it was the best up grade in vehicle they could have done. but if you are going to look at those, and have a soft spot for rovers, deff look into the LR3 due to how similar of a platform they are.

I ran my fridge like that for almost a full summer, I had it set at 36 and I could get about 12 hours give or take out of my old battery, so time will depend on how old/good your current battery is. some guys seem to be just switching to a single deep cycle and not having problems. but I had no...

manual sport http://bend.craigslist.org/ctd/5711937883.html

I wouldn't say I am chasing a sport. it was just an option that arose. and while a limited slip diff is nice, to me, I am not sure it is worth the trade off of loosing a solid front axle. a locker in the rear on the other had, helps to ease my mind with the loss of a solid axle.

So with this falling threw in classic craigslist fashion I was/am still on the hunt. this popped up today http://bend.craigslist.org/cto/5701104837.html ...

this showed up on their lot like 2 months ago, but was stashed in the back with no price on it. I snuck a look at it when they were closed and it did look pretty nice. couple small dings is all I really remember noticing. http://bend.craigslist.org/ctd/5674746538.html
