    Dynabeads

    Has anyone ever used these? My brother uses them on his Harley and yesterday we installed them in a friends Ford 250. Very easy to do and I was going to look into them for my truck. http://www.innovativebalancing.com/index.php

    Blew Rear Diff

    Just blew out the rear diff in the '69 Rover. But I have to say 42 years is a long time for one to keep up the abuse of a daily driver, off roader, and in the '70's a brush hogger for the FL Hwy Dept. So, I'm not that depressed. But those EVN's are a bitch to get into to start trouble...

    Just Got It Delivered

    Bumper and Skid plate. Please excuse the messy garage and the foil on the MG (I had to move my old cat out there and this keeps him off the car> GHETTO, but it works). http://www.flickr.com/photos/43015168@N08/5493462372/

    Need Advice

    Need Advice on Selling Truck Since I'm not a normal car tradesman, I need some opinions. I have 3 people that are interested in my 1969 Rover that I'm asking 5500 for. None of them have asked me to come down from that price even after seeing/driving the truck. But, I don't have it in my...

    Just Ordered

    the front skid plate to go along with my bumper. Those are already fabricated and they will send it out with the bumper tomorrow. Takes about 2 weeks to get here. They were on hold for a while due to all the snow on the east coast. :thumbs:

    '69 Land Rover Brakes

    So, we have been trying to fix the brakes on the '69 Landie for a while now. I'll start from the beginning (keep in mind that other than normal shoe/drum replacement, nothing else has been touched on the brakes): One of the rear brake cylinders sprung a leak on day so I ordered the rebuild...

    They are on

    So here is the link to the new wheels and tires. :naughty: I had to do a bit of a chop job on the front right inner bumper to stop a bit of rubbing. :rolleyes: It wouldn't rub, but since I hit an invisible light post in the parking lot one morning, it sags just a bit.:uhoh: I don't really...

    New Wheels and Tires

    Well, I got my new wheels (5) in yesterday. They are just some that one of the LR parts places carry. They are just plain black, 16x7's. So I took one down to the tire shop to do a fashion show with what I want to order. Here a while back we tried to put 34's under it, but they were too wide...

    Need Help With Electrical Stuff

    My truck eats bulbs. I'm constantly replacing them. Headlight here, tail light, interior bulbs, fog lights (front and rear), doesn't matter. Fuses are good and if I'm replacing the same bulb in the month, I'll replace the fuse. I have no idea why this is happening. The voltage regulator is...

    Went Offroading This Weekend

    Mark drove this time. I've had sinus infections and the meds were kicking my butt. It was his first time in the new Rover offroad. He did good. http://www.flickr.com/photos/43015168@N08/4809286982/
