Coincidence?
what kind of coincidence are you speaking of..... yes, they needed a bunch of repairs all the time, but i never owned one, just worked on em. they constantly needed brakes, major services, plug wires, and head gaskets (speaking of the 90's-2002 models) was good money while it lasted. it was all gravy money, just crank em out. got to the point where i could be told what was coming in, have all the tools id need for the job, and just hammer down til done. 6 hour head gasket/valve jobs, 1hr for pads and rotors on all 4 corners (add 1/2hr if it was series 1 disco, or pre 95 range rover).
we'd pull one in, jack it up on all 4's, one would do the fluids underneath, while someone else did brakes, and a 3rd did head gaskets, and turn out head gaskets, brakes and a major service in a day.
good times.

Shop updates, what is happening today!
7.3 Chateau is moving along, rear springs and axle rebuild up next while we wait for the transmission.
Vegas 7.3 in the final days, DP Tuner being installed now and we just need to put some miles on it before it goes home.
We've finally finished the design for the Texas V10 upper shock/bump mounts, turned out nice. Will post a pic of the final setup asap.

Another new arrival, 5.4 going 6" from AR.
Okay, waited too long for someone else to do it so I'll ask; What's up with this bumper? Who makes it?

I think he said the front+rear bumpers as well as the roof rack were made by a fabricator local to the owner

Chris, how tall is the tech working on the Vegas 7.3 and what size lift/tire combo does it have? Just trying to get a visual reference. Thanks

Finished the towers on the TX V10, many revisions! Happy with the results.
Stunning! Those are some massive shocks.

Yea these u-bolts are going up since the axle is a Dynatrac Pro Rock housing.
