    Painting my ExMod

    Oh... Ok, gotcha. Yeah, there are little round bars on the top of the bumper. Looks like you could chain up to it or something. Seriously though, quit buggin me about the bumper :p How's it look?

    Painting my ExMod

    Not sure what a bumper over-rider is, but I got the truck painted. It's just direct to metal paint. I ended up spending lots of time on the wiring and ran out of time to paint. New Paint - Imgur

    Painting my ExMod

    Ok.. your comment bugged me a lot this weekend, so I set about stripping all the latex/house/**** paint off and getting the landy down to the original military paint. I'm gonna sand down to a stable coat, get it all smooth, an then paint it with real paint. I've gone through to bare metal in a...

    Painting my ExMod

    After a bad battle with a tin of blue house-paint, I decided it was time to do this thing right. Taking her (him?) apart, and sanding down as much as I can. I'm using Zero Rust Direct to Metal, which seems to bond well to the ****ty paint that was on there before, as well as the alloy itself in...

    Daily use of my '72 S3 - crazy?

    I drive my rover at -20 and -25 below Fahrenheit. It's a drafty ride but mine is a pickup cab so it heats up well. I would rather drive in the cold than the rain because of the leaks in my roof. I gotta ask as well, is there a decent way to rainproof a rover?

    ignition timing

    I think its about 6 or 8 degrees at 87 octane fuel.. But that might be for my toyota. I set the rover by ear.

    That looks pretty cool. Its like an extended cab pickup. Rover should have made one of those.

    Fuel Starvation issue

    So. It's been almost a year and I finally got this issue fixed. I swapped to an electric fuel pump. I installed the Facet 1-4 psi pump. It's a bit noisy but I'm going to use some rubber to isolate it from the frame and reduce the noise. Just thought I would update this in case anyone else had...

    Why did I buy a Land Rover!!!

    Thanks for the tips guys. I have an extra heater that I can put in the cab, but it takes up all the storage space I need for my backpack and passengers. I'm going to mount an electric heater in the cab and plug it in when the car is parked (we have public electricity for cars in the winter). The...

    Winter is coming.. Temperature are about to drop far below 0 Celsius, probably going to see a few weeks at -40 in the near future :( I love my Land Rover to death.. But its probably going to be the death of me.. Cold mornings where I need full winter clothing so I can make it into school.. Icy...

    Glass fuses

    eek... coiled wire... as long as the contacts match up, 20 amps is what I have in mine... I would have to check to make sure though.

    Damn Truck wants me killed

    The engine sounds great, It doesn't blow any smoke, idles well, and can pull the truck up hills at a comfortable 50 mph. It only starts acting up after I shut it off, and then try to turn it on again...

    Damn Truck wants me killed

    An engineer friend of mine said that it might be getting heat soaked. The Radiator fan is keeping the gas line cool when I drive, but as soon as I turn the "vehicle" off the fuel in the line turns to vapor, causing the car to become fuel starved, as the pump can't pump vapor. Anyone heard of...

    Flog it or keep it

    Your gonna need a reliable car to drive to the parts store when your Series IIa starts acting like a Series IIa. Keep the disco, at least until your very comfortable with the IIa

    Damn Truck wants me killed

    Its a truck. A Peterbuilt is a Semi. 2.25 petrol, weber carb 34ich with an oil bath filter, I just modified the hose end to fit it on the weber. As for carb icing... Its been about 60 or 70 Fahrenheit here lately, so i'm not thinking thats the problem.

    Damn Truck wants me killed

    My truck runs beautifully, the other day, on the way to town, I passed a few cars and nearly hit 60 mph on the highway. My amp meter was fine, my oil pressure was fine, my temperature was a comfortable 170, and the truck idled well in intersections. I parked the vehicle, did some work for two...
