Portable jacuzzi?

Jeff Corwin worked on my '96 DI when I was in college and his shop was just his driveway in Centennial -- stand up guy and I would trust his work and his prices all day. I've never done a 4.6 swap myself but 20 hours doesn't sound too ridiculous. If that truck is as clean as it looks and as...

That actually looks like a pretty nice truck, especially if it is indeed 100% rust free. Bummer the motor is toast. I would hang on to it dude and accumulate the parts to do a 4.6 swap. If that's beyond your ability a good way to cut labor costs is to fully prep the truck yourself -- remove...

Leather seats? Your seats are cloth. Which is good -- those seats are usually more desirable with the Rover people :)

You should probably post a price. And don't expect to get much from a non-running '93 RRC. I would pull the ARB off of it and sell that separately because if it's brand new like you say it's worth almost as much as the rest of the truck. Maybe even pull the BFGs off too and sell those if...

You're not overcoming the Rover V8s fuel consumption. You're carrying more gas at the expense of other stuff you might enjoy or even need.

My 6.2 gets about 420-450 miles to a tank. With four jerrycans I could touch 900 miles without seeing a fuel pump. Is that necessary in the U.S.? Probably not. But it's definitely in the "Pro" column where as the built DI/DII, with roughly half the range, sits firmly in the "Con". Diesel and...

Great snapshots. Basetrack is a photojournalist collective, not a single Marine. Here are a few of mine when I was over there last year, also taken with a crappy little camera. Air assault in Logar Province: Recon mission in near Pul-e-Alam, Logar: Foot patrol with Czechs through an...

Nom nom nom!

Some people were seriously talking about pushing that poor lady's Jeep off the cliff just so they could spare some time and get through? Were there narcos on their tail or something? Sheesh!

Horror stories don't impress true Rover die-hards. We've all been there, done that. You either love these trucks or you're just passing through.

Pretty tough to find the 6 when I was in the market for an LR3.

I can get you some pictures and measurements of how it looks on the D1. Lemme know what you need. I'd recommend the R380 if that's an option for you. A guy on DWeb has one for $800 What sort of headers are you thinking about running?

Thank GOD it's a high miler Otherwise my traveling band of Discos would have to grow by one Did Voyager racks really come standard on TReKs?

Everything is always for sale, Dale. LOL! :bike_rider:

Posted this over on ADVRider.com for you Dale, those dudes love big trucks that can haul a load of motorcycles.

Interesting -- I'm 6'2 and very slim and I find my DI has more room. The DII has a profoundly smoother and quieter ride but the cockpit feels considerably more cramped. The rear view mirror is RIGHT in my field of vision and I'm constantly peering around it -- very annoying. I think the...

The Rover zeitgeist is that they fail consistently and require perpetual maintenance. The extent is always in the eye of the beholder, though. I just recently limped my D1 1,800 miles home -- that's pretty confidence inspiring. The 2004 I recently purchased has a new motor because it blew up...
