I used a flat plate heat exchanger like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/FPHE-Flat-Plate-Heat-Exchanger-30-Plate-WVO-SVO-/281058565816?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4170655eb8#ht_1049wt_904 huge surface area in a very compact size - I plumbed one side into the heater line and run water from a...

A small cup of go-juice from the five gallon jug of diesel fuel that I carry works nicely for coaxing reluctant fires to life as well. It doesn't flash off like gasoline (no-boom) and works nicely to get even damp wood burning.

The Baroud looks a little thin - like you might not be able to store all of your bedding and a few other things inside. The latches and ladder attach points look a little flimsy as well. I have an older Maggiolina that is at least 15 years old. I like that I can also store a small folding table...

There was a Rover enthusiast in California named Doug Richardson back in the late 1960's who did a lot of modifications to his 109 including adding roof type vents to the front lower corners of the front doors to improve airflow into the foot well. He also pioneered the "Demolition Bumper" which...

I bought the factory front & rear rubber mats for my LR3 for $166.47 from Land Rover Rocklin - they come with instructions and the fasteners to hold them in place James Worm, Parts Department Land Rover Rocklin 4545 Granite Drive, Rocklin, CA 95677 Office: 916.632.3231 | Fax: 916.632.3210 |...

The diesel 2.25 was discontinued for the US market after 1967. The NADA six cylinder 109 was a 1967 only edition as well. From 1968-1974 the only engine available in Series trucks in North America was the 2.25 liter 4 cylinder gasoline motor.

Sand? sunset on a 1961 - so the color is way off

Hand brake is on the rear output of the transfer case - all mechanical linkage to actuate it. Lift the cover between the two front seats in the seat base and you can see the drum and cross bar linkage. The shoes are probably soaked with EP90 due to a leaking oil seal at the output shaft. There...

That's definitely not limestone - limestone is more of an ivory white in the early trucks. Since that is a Series II or early IIA (pre 1965 by the dash) I'd guess its a sand beige. The 1959-63 SII's came in some colors like mid-grey that were never seen on the later models. This Land Rover has...

I've owned a 1966 diesel 109 station wagon since 1978 - it has over 375,000 miles on it. I rebuilt the engine at around 200,000. It has the original 2.25 liter diesel engine and a Fairey overdrive. Max speed is around 68 mph but its a LOT more comfortable at 55-60. It will get around 25 mpg at...

I've logged hundreds of thousands of miles in Series Land Rovers and owned around ten of them. I like the way they make you slow your pace down to adapt to the vehicle - you tend to enjoy the journey a little more and pay more attention to the world going by your windows. They encourage you to...

I just joined the LR3 owners ranks too - after 16 or 17 Land Rovers of various types over the years I made the decision to add a fourth Land Rover to the driveway to replace a somewhat boring Honda CR-V. The comfort and towing capacity were factors in the decision as well as reports of vastly...

two of my favorites:

You can buy a pretty decent used Boxster for under $20,000 - I've found through years of careful experimentation that a combination of Land Rovers and Porsches makes a good mix.

fooling around with the Canon DSLR this afternoon in the back yard - the 1967 SWB 88 is disassembled in the basement so it couldn't join the photo session

I won't try to talk you out of it because I just bought one myself last Thursday - a 2007 LR3 HSE in Expedition White. I'd been looking at them for a while myself and when they finally depreciated into the affordable zone I jumped on the band wagon. There are some pretty good videos on line...

It's a coke oven on the side of the parkway that runs through the Land Between the Lakes in the Northern edge of Tennessee -

I was lucky enough to get one of the very last Luma Loop straps made before they shut down production due to Black Rapid being awarded a patent for their sling type strap. Although the two are similar, the Luma Loop was superior in the attachment hardware and craftsmanship and it works very well...
