i think you might have been ripped off slightly on your hard top.

good on you mate, like disco said above looks pretty straight for an ex army hahaha. Rotorua to christchurch is one hell of a trip in one of these, how many times did you have to stop and fill the little tank if the big ones not going? had similar issues with the one i had turned out to be the switc...

when i had my stage one i was looking at throwing a discovery filter box setup in it. just a bit smaller and think they are an inline setup which will be good for piping between the snorkel and the carb setup. you might be able to approach an engineering firm and get a bit of a quote for a steel one...

quick pics of weekend been. http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q242/gary_in_nz/V8%20Rover/DSCF0161.jpg http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q242/gary_in_nz/V8%20Rover/DSCF0188.jpg http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q242/gary_in_nz/V8%20Rover/DSCF0200.jpg http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q242/gary_in...

good on you, perfect surfie truck. how are you finding it so far?

yeah he loves that truck, told him to invest in some 33x10.5 silverstones to help him out better in these conditions, the 33 x 12.5 mongrels he runs are getting to about 50% tread.

i havent been on these forms for a while and thats mainly because it dont own this truck any more, i swapped it with my dad for his 1970 mini 1000.

we went out in the weekend and this is a clip of him giving the treatment to the land rover!!

i dont know if its just me but i like looking at 4x4 pictures, especially Rovers in action, this isnt hard core by any means but worth posting if even one person sees them and enjoys them. going to try put it through its paces in a couple of weekends time so will see what photos we get out of that. ...

make sure you are able to hear the exhaust in action before you buy it if possible. different systems suit different motors. i know a chap who was trying to get a 308 chev motor sounding sweet with a twin pipe setup, ended up doing all sorts eventually got there but spent way more money on it than n...

go for it, i run 33x12.5 mongrels left over from my nissan safari from when i put 35's on that. the only lifting i have done is to level up the rear springs by having the right rear reset. they do rub at full lock (pretty minimal) on the chassis but are very good other wise as the mongrels dont have...

i got a front diff pinion seal for $13.50 from Forward Specs about 2 weeks ago, sometime around christmas

sounds like you guys are in for a blasting shortly, might get a pic up of my stage 1 at the beach in the 30+ degree Celsius heat...

one thing here in kiwi land we have over you guys is cheap insurance hahahahaahahahaha!! got a couple of mates who headed off to the uk and cant get over what they have to pay for cheap little rubbish run abouts. and then there is the price of fuel....

i have heard that some old falcon one's are almost and exact copy and fit ok with the plumbing, i cant tell you what model sorry, when mine crapped out i just removed it and looped it so there was no heater.

no dramas any way as it is so draughty the heater was only good for a windscreen demister!!
