show us ya landy

Nice, looks good and straight.

Get your self an overdrive for it, or just be happy holding up traffic at 80k's cause your cool

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.

Here is a photo of my series 2 last Sunday. It is coming up for its 54 Biirthday next weekend.

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

very cool, i like your skid plate/recovery point setup. Home made or bought. If bought show me the way, looks easier than arsing about trying to make one on Good friday ready for Easter Saturday run

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.

[BAUSHOG]

[DonMcDazzle]

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.

What kind of wheels are those mate? What's the offset?

[xj]

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

[ice4x4]

Nice one!

In the market for some wheels next year. I want a decent offset but road legal...

[ant-neil]

Have u put the radiator in the back here. Have u bent many stearing arms.

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.
