Yeah 80 is about max, any more and the poor engine sounds about ready to explode. Is there much involved in fitting the Fairy, I'm pretty tempted.

This is quite significant because it is the first production series 2 in the world and was built 6 weeks before the release of the series 2 at the Amsterdam Motor Show.

It still has all the original running gear as well

I was lucky enough to pick it up on Trademe for $80 by memory. It's one solid piece of kit for sure.

I'm heading in a different direction now.... kinda... the plate as it sits on your waka would perhaps protrude a little too far forward. My radiator's rear-bound soon, and the chassis is going to be a little shorter at the front too.

The Range Rover in the video is undergoing testing before it gets tidied up for painting . The hill is actually higher and steeper than it appears in the vid.

Just bought my first Land Rover. It is a series 2a SWB with a landcruiser 3400cc diesel engine and landcruiser transmission. Planning on getting it this weekend and doing some work on it. It needs some rust underneath removed, and some of the wiring tidied up. Hopefully it'll be WOF'd and on the road shortly.

I bought a Chinese locker for my 96 disco. Had some issues with air leaks from the seal which pressurized the diff and blew oil back up the airline (due to blocked breather). Pedro sorted me out with a new ARB seal and a mod to the clip that holds it in place (poorly copied early ARB design). Goes good now.

I guess you get what you pay for. They work fine, but are not as well made as the genuine thing and you may have to get some minor mods done to get it working right.

yo, theyre 0 offset aftermarket white steelies (courtesy of lilpigzuk who may correct me if im wrong) with 25mm bolt on spacers and weld in beadlock rings stitched in from summit racing in the US.

If i recall the rims were $100 each and the rings worked out to $55.00 nzd each delivered. Engineer buddy stitched em on for a box. the spacers were $100 each too.
So $255.00 for a -25mm offset beadlocked rim

me???? radiator's in the back with twin fans plumbed into the original wiring.
Haven't bent any arms, nor has the other one I wheel with that's set up in a similar fashion. Tierods though need strengthening. Good ol landrover spares (lilpigzuk) does aftermarket beefy ones. I just sleeved a bigger pipe over mine, and me mate stitched angle iron to his though.
