Congrats on the purchase! That's a gorgeous e30 M3 you have there! My second vehicle is an e30 318is, I can only dream how much more fun the M is.

Bought the TF202 medium-duty kit. The front springs are TF018, the rear springs are TF023V. Thanks! I'm starting to get an idea of what I want for tires. Can't decide between some pizza-cutter 235/85s or something more like a 255-265 width tire.

Few crappy cell phone pics on the way home from work. Sitting a lot higher, going to needs some bigger tires soon! And definitely need to do a full detail when I get a nice day. [/URL]

Got a lot done to the truck this weekend! Fluids changed, front bumper trimmed, and some much needed maintenance. I did end up going a different route with my suspension... couldn't pass up the sale.... Also new tie rod ends all around and a new damper. Will get some pics of the Disco...

What kind of Land Rover are you looking at? Discovery? LR3? Range Rover? As many have said before, Rovers just have a lot more soul to them. I've had a Toyota and a Nissan, and they were both great trucks and were reliable, but that's all they were. They really aren't unreliable. A lot of...

My thoughts exactly. I can't even find a rough '04 for under $8k or so in the midwest.

Alright, think I'm about to pull the trigger on the rest of my suspension. These are the only stock-ish springs I can even find. Has anyone used this setup? I'm concerned about how "heavy duty" the rear set is, I'd like a bit of an improved cargo and towing capacity but I don't want to...

I've decided I really don't want to lift, but I do need to do something about the springs. The whole truck is sitting almost an inch lower than stock spec, and the rear is noticeably sagging. Is there somewhere I can get stock height springs, but maybe at like a medium duty load? And that...

What is your price range? What are your intended uses for the vehicle? Planning to modify, or run stock? For off-road use, you really can't go wrong with a Discovery. I do have to say, if you're looking at buying an older Rover I really hope that you have (or will buy) some good tools and...

Climbed under it on Friday to move the linkage with a wrench, cranked it back and forth several times but the lock indicator was still lit when I started the truck up. Reversed in 4-low for about 2 feet and it disengaged, so got to have a safer drive home. Tonight I'm going to grease up the...

It actually turned out to be the positive battery cable. Pulled it out and ran a jumper cable from the battery to the starter post and the truck fired right up. Replaced the cable last night with a new one. The old one really didn't look too bad, but was pretty flexible and must have had a...

Alright guys, need some CDL advice from the experts. Drove to work today, everything seemed fine, wasn't binding up in corners or giving any difficulty steering. Go to pull into the parking garage and all of a sudden it's like the lock engaged; the wheel is fighting me and there's a lot of...

Been out of town for work since my last post, left the Rover at home for the wife to drive in the snow. Somehow she managed to get the diff locked (selector is very stiff) to get up an icy hill, but when she went to unlock it the light stayed on. I drove it Saturday and the selector and lock...

All are good options. LC100 is most likely the best Land Cruiser out there. LR3 is also a great vehicle, excellent off road with good road manners as well. Personally, my vote is the LR3. You said it yourself, your heart says LR3. My heart had been telling me Disco for years, but my head...

Well, after hanging around here for almost two years and looking at numerous vehicles, I finally pulled the trigger on a Disco. I had a Pathfinder for about a year, it was a great rig, but just didn't have the same feel and personality as a Rover. 96 D1 SE7, 110k, in pretty decent mechanical...

My pump only went bad AFTER adding Lucas, like the stop-leak gummed up the internals of the pump. Was silent beforehand, screamed and burnt up afterwards. I ended up replacing it with one of the GM pumps. Bolted right up, super easy and the pump itself was only $60. Runs power steering fluid...

Wish I would have taken pictures, but I sure as heck am glad I did the timing belt! The belt itself was about fried, the tensioner pulley sounded like the bearing was going to grenade, along with the bearing in the water pump, and the pump gasket pretty much disintegrated as I took it off...

Definitely, DEFINITELY want to get the big maintenance stuff done! I'd hate to get out on the trail and be crippled by neglected maintenance instead of actually breaking something. Plus driving around with an 11+ year old timing belt, I cringe every time I break 4000 RPM. I've already been...

Thanks guys. I'll definitely be getting a lot more pictures of it as I get it out for some fun. Got down a little muddy trail next to a big construction zone earlier, handled it like a champ. It has 31" BFG tires on it with pretty good tread, I'm looking for a full sized spare to match them...

Picked this Pathy up the other day, found it on Craigslist. 91 SE, 5 speed, 4x4, high on the miles (204k) but pretty clean, no rust issues. Already replaced inner tie rod ends, have a timing belt kit on the way, and just done a lot of cleaning up on the truck. Hope to hit some trails in the...
