Does anyone else in the club have one of these beasts? Drew, Welcome to the Club! We hate you already ... congratulations! I don't know why but most of us love the FCs. Yes, someone else in the club does have one and I'll let him speak for himself. Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volkov Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Thanks for all the interest in this truck! Unfortunately, it will probably be another year until it's on the road again. It is going through a frame off restoration right now, with a few modifications being made; R380 transmission, power steering, front and rear air lockers, to name a few. But that's alright, my daily driver is a LR3 so that can get me by for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrover Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 That is .......... no words. Waiting to see it next year. Welcome to the club. LR3's n 4's are awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco2Guy Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Welcome to the club That's definitely a super cool 101! How far into the rebuild are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoChef Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Welcome Drew. I think I may have seen that truck on Alameda island. Left a note but never heard from the owner. You're doing some nice improvements to it! Look forward to seeing it. BTW- It is my brother who owns a FC and a Unimog (soon to go on the market).

ndamico Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Welcome to the club. Ive never seen one of those in person. Looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volkov Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I am just over the half way point now. The truck is completely disassembled and I am slowly blasting painting and reassembling everything. I hope to have the frame finished in the next few weeks and then I can really start putting it back together. DiscoChef, that was my truck you saw. I remember that note. That's actually why I joined, I hadn't forgotten about that. I hadn't joined sooner because my truck has been down for almost two years. Life got in the way and prevented me from making much progress for a while. But I acquired that LR3 a few months ago, so now I have a driveable Rover again.

DHappel Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 As much time as I spend in Alameda how did I miss this??Regardless, hope to see it on the trails soon! In the meantime I understand LR3s can play in the dirt too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime I understand LR3s can play in the dirt too.... I actually got chased down by a gentleman in a Pinzgauer in Alameda one time... So being new to the club. How does it work here? Are there any regular meets, or is it just organized camping trips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRover Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 You can also check out the NCLR calendar. We usually keep it up to date. Check out the top categories for the major parts of the site (Forum, Member list, Calendar, Store) Also, you can add a background to your profile. Personally, I would recommend another photo of the 101FC, but that's just me. Calendar link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 So in case it wasn't clear, we do have regular events. The MORGs are the first saturday of each month, and the Drip in the Dirt is a dinner gathering on the peninsula on the 3rd thrusday of each month. We also have a DitD type get-together on the 4th Thursday in Sacramento. Otherwise yeah, we have lots of non-regular outings and events as noted. By far the best way to keep up is just checking in here from time to time. Or daily. Or hourly. Heck, just keep the browser window open....

Volkov Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 So, for anyone interested in what the 101 looks like currently, this was a rear cross-member replacement that I did last weekend. The keen eyed observer will note that in the photo where the cross-member is completely removed, a mouse had decided to build a house in the left frame rail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandRonB Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hey Welcome. Yes, we do get together; and sometimes improperly like today after the Carnegie Workshop hanging out with the two brothers Enrique who introduced himself here to you, and Carlos (covered by the flag) who owns a 101FC like yourself also covered (restoration process).

Volkov Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 That's a nice looking rig, is that left hand drive or right? As for the Drip in the dirt in Sacramento, where is that usually held? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
