Mr.BlueSky Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 I swapped out my panhard bushings. I was hoping they would have been more thrashed than they were. Trying to cut down or eliminate my wobble at around 35 mph. Knuckle ball joints are next on the list Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah those don't look terrible. I hate the wobbles. I need to pony over the cash and get corrected front radius arms for Snowflake... then I'll have a few more corrections to make and it should finally it should be all back in line.

Mr.BlueSky Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Today I put Babe the Blue Ox to work hauling a bunch of rover parts. Had I known they were coming in today I would have driven the truck into work Andrew Wood and alpaca 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elherbinator Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Swapped out my destroyed stock motor mounts for some Blacklisted Engineering ones. The stock motor mounts won’t hold up to the abuse of offroading. I had another set do the same thing in my old D2. These new ones should last the life of the vehicle.

Elherbinator Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 A little more when idling, but that’s it. Nothing I’d notice if I weren’t paying attention Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Mr.BlueSky and RobertDingli 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraemeWare Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 My Genuine tow jaws came in from the UK. Got ‘em mounted up:Are they Dixon-Bate (or are there no signs of the OEM on them?) I've always found them more use mounted on the back than the front .... Regards, Graeme dldvs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.BlueSky Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 My Genuine tow jaws came in from the UK. Got ‘em mounted up These are so cool. (I think the little land rover plate does the trick ) If there are any $$ left over I may add them to the rear of the 110. dldvs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dldvs Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) My understanding is that the OEM is Dixon Bate, but yes, unfortunately there were no indications or markings of the OEM on them. Yeah, the LR plate is pretty rad Edited April 6, 2020 by dldvs Mr.BlueSky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.BlueSky Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Got a new fog light switch (PRC3432)for the 110 off fleabay today. My original switch had a cracked plastic handle. Didn't expect this "New-old stock" to come corroded. Some elbow grease, pencil eraser, and bristle brush and it is back to new.

Mr.BlueSky Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Couldn't just let the parts all sit over night on the To-Do bench... so the extended bump stops have been installed.' It is a bit sad, but shame on me for not ensuring the truck had them when I bought it.... alas the passenger front fender is now far more - ... not flat. Hopefully this will save Snowflake's fenders from further carnage.... RobertDingli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.BlueSky Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Many moons ago the Dusy Ershim trail did a number on my QT rear diff guard and fatigued the upper bracket to failure. After a few minutes with the wand of healing all was well. Not the prettiest, but Snowflake isn't trying to win an beauty contests.

Mr.BlueSky Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 This past two weeks was a whirlwind of activity. Scott helped out by lending his small utility trailer and it was promptly filled with Rover parts, rover engines, and merc engines. - Up the hill it went. There was probably at least two trailer loads of other random rover gear - Up the hill it went. Probably 3 trailer loads to move the outdoor workshop/carport stuff - Up the hill it went. Snowflake was loaded up with all the camping gear - Up the hill it went Then came the big move... I had booked a 20ft U-haul and auto-hauler. Of course due to the fires all the 20ft trucks were booked. So a 26ft truck it was! (fun fact they are the same price). Then comes the day to pick up the truck and lo and behold someone backed a truck into the last hauler.... great. A scramble ensued. I thought of Don. Too far. Colin had a lead that led to sadness. Luckily Scott saved the day again by recommending his neighbor's trailer borrowed from the East San Jose mafia. . The 110 was winched onto the trailer (thanks Johann and Mario ) - Up the hill it went. Photos to follow. lutz and RobertDingli 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.BlueSky Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Lastly we went back and cleaned out the rental, I found a couple rover suspension bolts, and found the cat. Up the hill we went.... And stayed : ) Maybe we should do a DitD in Skyland?

alpaca Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Had random alarm going off events - especially parked in the afternoon sun. A quick forum search suggested hood sensor micro switch is common failure - ordered one off amazon, 20 min install, and all looking good. Let’s hope that was where the issue was and it is fixed now. lutz and Mr.BlueSky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandRonB Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) My son is saving up for a new mountain bike, and wanted to earn some $$. He offered to wash, and clean the interior particularly the dash & center console on my 04 D2. Dirty from not being cleaned for years, and making a mess e.g. hot cocoa for the kids, and coffee for me using Jet Boil sitting on the cup holder. While he was doing that, I decided to replace the worn out boot on the diff shifter with a home made one. Walla almost looking new. Now time to replace the boot on the parking brake.

Those before and after pictures are pretty good. Your boy might need to open up a Land Rover detailing shop! ; ) The boot looks sharp too!

Elherbinator Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Repaired the busted up Ashcroft Air Locker. Was pretty easy and straightforward once I got the bolts off. Needed to Roberts Milwaukee impact to get them off. The Dewalt wasn’t cutting it.

Mr.BlueSky Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Read codes on the classic today (already forgot what it was : ( ... ) LRDirect order came in with the extra alu wheel nuts.
