Let's see your Series Land Rover

One day, I will have a series to rebuild

 

[alaskantinbender]

Moved the spare mount up about a foot where it should be. It rides much better and I can use the hitch. Now carrying 2 spares is not a problem at all.
Also mounted my high lift jack.

 

[Ray Hyland]

I added some lifting eyes, a tow jow and mounted my old trusty shovel to the front end.
Also some headlight guards left over from an old jeep of mine and removed the lower body skirting.

Nice, are you planning to put some sliders on it? I've found them invaluable on 109s and 110s.

Yes it definitely needs sliders as well as some skid plates for the fuel tanks.

Does the spare hit your high lift when you open the back door and limit how far you can open the door ?

Australia?

Yes it does. The door stops just short of 90 degrees. After hanging the spare on it now I see why so many people dont carry them there. Just seems like too much weight on the door. Very similar to the same issue on newer jeeps. I think the answer is a swing away tire rack mounted on the rear crossmenber. I can add a gas can to it as well.

Australia?

A little to the north and west from there.

New rubber

We need more old iron series trucks represented on the forum......:wings:
Here is an updated pic of mine with new tall skinny TSL's (9x34x16)



Second pic is with 700lbs of animal feed in the back. I think I need a 4th parabolic leaf in the rear.

Amazing how much SA and Costa Rica look alike. No wonder there are so many South Africans there... PAX
