Help Me Buy This Rover!

True, those guys are certainly an option, but that's going to be close to $4000 for a bulkhead by the time it's shipped to the US (allowing for options and coatings). I'm not questioning their pricing structure, because I know they're manufacturing from scratch, but a repaired and galvanized bulkhead would cost about half of that, and would still be too expensive for your average Series owner. When you're spending $500-$6000 on a Series rig, those few extra thousand can kinda hurt- especially knowing that you'll likely never recover the investment. Then again, there are nuts like me who spend way too much money on their projects...

I agree, it is quite pricey. I was just mentioning that there are indeed options out there. I'm somewhat close to Lanny Clark, whos vehicles sell for close to $100k, so it's obviously worth the price for people like him. Some Series owners out there have quite a bit of money, but a lot of the $$ is moving into Defenders now.

For someone who is doing ground up rebuilds, it certainly can be an option, although I think you're right that most of the attention is starting to go towards the 110s and 90s that are starting to come across the pond. Can't say that I blame them, with the potential profit margin being so much higher on a coiler. While I prefer the older trucks, I do lust just a little bit over a 110 with a diesel, especially after decades of spine compression on leaf springs.

Some Series owners have quite a bit of money, or used to, until they owned a Series. Then there are those of us who just spend quite a bit of money on our Series that we don't have.
