    Parts advice needed!

    Hello, everyone! It's been a bit since I've dropped in but I've a dilemma! I had an OM616 mated to a Series Gearbox using a SeriesTrek adapter. I was told that Mean Green had a starter that would work for this setup but have had no luck in sourcing a starter from Mean Green and not sure when or...

    2008 Ford F 350 Diesel

    g'day! or howzit (given current locale) long time since we've talked! A few trips "There and Back Again" have kept me busy. Not terribly familiar with the '08 but just to add to the confusion: while I currently own a 7.3 PSD XL that I love, I've looked into some more civilized models...

    Factory Snorkel Value

    Just out of curiosity, what is a factory snorkel kit worth for a SIIa? I have one on my truck now but I'm not that concerned w/ being an exact factory original restoration. I would be just as pleased with an aftermarket snorkel and have heard the factory ones are exceedingly rare and valuable...

    97 Defender 90 SW in Corniston Green $18K

    Not me, don't know them, yadda yadda. It's at the end of my street and I'm so tempted but don't really have the time to hassle with buying another vehicle with an impending deployment in a few weeks. It looks good when I drive-by, great for that price. Yeah, it's on Oahu but you can ship...

    2.25L valve noise

    I haven't done much internally on a 2.25 petrol but it is rover so nothing surprises me anymore; has anyone seen or heard of this scenario? I was under the hood adjusting/tightening/adding something and I happen to notice the three nuts that hold down the valve cover were only finger tight. I...

    Series upgrade questions

    Yeah, but if you go with a smaller steering wheel w/o power steering, you're going to get strong quick. So actually that might be a bonus, burn calories whilst motoring about.

    Series upgrade questions

    I guess too, how redundant would it be? I assume eventually even galvanized metal rusts. But I have a 71 that the galvanized bits are doing fine and a 67 that completely rotted away, leaving a pile of birmabright, drivetrain, and galvanized (albeit oxidized) parts.

    Series upgrade questions

    This thread got me thinking. How blasphemous would it be to POR-15 over a new galvanized frame?

    Full size flatbed with hard side pop up trailer on top

    Here ya go, everthing you could ever want to know about building a flatbed camper. Carlyle's uses a popup in bed camper though, little different. I would think that putting a pop up trailer onto a flatbed would be inherently stronger (and heavier!) because of the trailer's frame. Carlyle's...

    Can you ID this hat?

    Here's a link w/ a pretty big selection of hats. I personally like the Territory by Akurba Hats. It looks like the hat the game warden, Sam Flynn, was wearing in the Crocodile Hunter movie. (I like the FJ75's everyone is driving too)

    Winch mounting upside down??

    A regular winch can be mounted on any plane unless it's a hydraulic winch or something that uses liquid lubricants and has some specific note that says otherwise. My ARB bumper for my disco mounted the winch upside down and my ARB bumper for my F250 has it mounted feet forward (sideways, this...

    LED Headlights

    I found some for sale. Not sure if they're priced each or for a pair. (either they're expensive or ridiculously expensive) I think these have been developed by the same people who make HID Conversion headlights to make their cost seem reasonable. Very nice for racing in the dark but I think...
