Last time I called the DMV special unit (or whatever it is called) they told me it would be no problem registering a pre-smog diesel in CA. But don't take my word on it, call them - and then report back!!!

Shift the TC to low so you keep the RPM's high and the power to the wheels constant. While in low you will be able to have instant power to the wheels without the lunging forward that you have when the torque builds up with the TC in high. Combine that with airing down and a 2" lift, you will...

Thanks for the input Linus. I was looking at that one. Not anymore!

...and you only have two kids... I have 4 and 1 on the way and most days you can eat off the interior in my rangie - and, no, I don't mean cheerios off the floor. I clean my interior religiously. What process do you go through to clean your engine? (Sorry if this is a thread hijack - nice...

Are you sure that's a landie? The engine bay looks a little too clean...:jump:

Nice shots. Pretty cool to include the kids/family.

Nice! Thanks for the link.:beer:

Don't worry, I won't be wasting Timm's time. If I speak with him regarding this project, it will only be to figure out what I need him to do and when it will fit into his schedule. I have never called him. He speaks to mutual friends about projects when he stops by and I just happen to be...

LOL...

My 13 yo wants either an 88 SIIa or a '69 charger when he turns 16... talk about two vehicles that are as contrasting as possible! Suzi loves the "Jon & Kate Plus 8" show... I keep telling her we should go for a even dozen... "Steven & Suzi Plus a Dozen"...:yikes:

:victory:

what does an alignment sleeve look like?

I can't help it... it's an addiction too...:steak:

LOL... 1 - I like Timm a lot and respect him a lot but I would mainly bounce ideas off of him. I am fully aware of his "time" issue...:ylsmoke: he does quality work and anything I could not do myself I would farm out to him or Frank Cerrone. 2 - I'm not looking for a 1993 110 to import. 3 -...

Take off those "side steps", trim the back of the front fenders, relocate the exhaust tip and you have some mighty good clearance for the trail!

Yes, I already have plans on replacing the power plant. I, too, an enamored with the thought of a diesel and seeing as I live in California, I would have to go the pre-smog 109 route (pre-1975) if I were to go with a diesel. However, the thought of putting in a chevy vortec v8 into a 1983 110...

From your sig line, more like you and your yota/lexus fascination.

The reasons why I want a 109 or 110 are as follows: 1 - We have 5 kids. Yes, you read that right. #5 is due in January. 2 - I am a rover fanatic. 3 - I know the pains of rover ownership and it does not scare me. In fact, I find that part of the adventure. 4 - Preparing, traveling, repairing...

Oops, I assumed he meant Sceptor water jerry cans, not fuel. However, at the time I ordered the water cans the fuel ones were still available from Brigade. I didn't order fuel cans b/c I have some decent NATOs in my garage. In hindsight, I should have ordered fuel jerry cans!

I got goose bumps reading this part. This is exactly why I want a 109 (or 110 will do too).
