Working on the hidden winch mount for the Range Rover. Not a lot of room. But I can hide it under the stock bumper. Now I just need to fabricate some brackets and weld it up.

Replacing the rear upper tail gate. This one is a bit rusty. But at least I can weld it back together.

I finally used my new RME stickers!

Continuing with the upper tailgate today. Cutting and prepping for new metal pieces.

Also started another important part of the swap. A different transfercase. The Borg Warner transfercase is garbage. This is the second one it's had. The viscous coupler is seized up and makes turning in a full time four wheel truck really bad.

So I bought a parts Disco with a good LT230 transfercase that has a center locking diff for off road. And an open diff for on road. It works in high or low range. The LT230 has lower gearing I high range and low range.

The easy part is done. Now I need to remove a cross member, unbolt the transmission from the engine, unbolt driveshafts, drain fluids and lower it all out from below.

Time for a new front seal on the transmission and a different transfercase. Hello LT230! Good-bye Borg Warner.

I separated the old broken transfer case for the new one. I resealed the new one and cleaned it lovingly. Then sprayed it lovingly with some paint.

I put new seals in the transmission as well and painted it as well.

Got a winch bumper for my classic. It's a rovertym. I think they are out of business now. I love KSL.

Painted, installed, lights mounted, winch mounted. Just need to wire it all up.

One step closer to finishing the Mercedes diesel conversion on the Storm Trooper Range Rover Classic. Deleted the fuel pump and ran a new pick up hose down to the fuel. Now the stock fuel gauge will work good.

I just need to delete the stock gas fuel filter and remove the block in the fuel neck so I can fill it at the pump.

Got it all back in. Hooked up and ready for the fuel filter delete tomorrow. Then I can suck some fuel and prime the system.

Rovertym isn't out of business. They had to change their name when LRNA came after them (and everybody else) a few years ago. http://www.rte-fab.com/

I'm finally putting the transmission and transfercase back in. I know, I'm slow.

I'm putting the adapters back in. I should be able to fire it up this week. Maybe drive it next week.

So i finally got this thing to smoke. unfortunately the starter is engaging, but it stays out because its getting bound up, I need to figure out a way to space it out more or turn it a hair. so its almost ready for me to stick the transmission back in and get it rolling coal.

Damn I can't believe i've been working on this thing for almost a year.

That's why a 4.6 would have been perfect.

But boring and sucks lots of gas.

No more blown headgaskets or slipped liners for me.

I got side tracked again. Lol

Picked up a full size defender rack that fits my Range Rover for $250 on KSL.
