Your Rover picture!

[TwisteD90]

How about posting a picture of your Rover. I would love to see what you guys did/doing to your Rovers.

[wicks]

Well, I put over 1,000 miles on it in 3 days. ;)

[whistler110]

It's ugly right now, but it's mine and it did great this past winter.

[norros]

This past weekend ... this weekend comes Mantec carrier ... (not a biggie but I'm excited to get RID of that rattling at 70mph..)

[ronward]

No big deal, but I love it.

[mattdh]

another pile of parts

[mattdh]

man this thing is taking for ever to put back to gether

[Mike Hippert]

Hey Matt Nice pile! How many 90s are currently in a non driving position at any given moment?

[wicks]

Matt, I am so impressed with that color choice. THat will be an incredible Defender when done. :)

[mattdh]

thanks wicks- i was a little hesitsant,i had never seen the color in person, only on a computer screen. i love the color and they way it turned out.i had the bulkhead painted about a month ago so i could get started on put that back together.every other piece goes to the shop on monday! by the way i wanted to do galvanized cappings on the bed but the have not turned out as well as i would like them too. anyone have any suggestions or know of a place that does a realy nice job

[kellymoe]

Off for some fun

[mikeslandrover]

Early days... wings & bumper still straight:grin

[kellymoe]

Breakfast is served.

[kellymoe]

This was sent to me from the previous owner. Should I be woried?

I knew that Defender looked familiar. Did you buy it from a guy in the Bay Area less than a year ago? I was in talks with him to buy it until my wife talked me out of it saying it was too big. I ended up with a 90. I still regret letting her talk me out of it.

Here's one of many pics he sent me.

[kellymoe]

Same guy, Daniel Oppenhiem. It has so far been great. Have had it on a few trips to Death Valley. Last week the front shocks blew and will be replacing suspension all around soon. I also will be installing an Edelbrock intake manifold and 4 barrel carb in the near future as well as Jet Hot coated headers and new exhaust. As soon as I got the truck I ruptured a dic in my back and have been out of commision for 7 months. Now that I am getting better I hope to start all the work on the truck.

[kellymoe]

Heddman makes the hedders and I will have them Jet Hot coated. Summit has the hedders for$106 or right around there.
Jet Hot cost is $165. The hedders are for a right hand drive RR. Should be OK on my truck since it is also rhd. But I cant do any of this stuff untill I sell the 109. Come on someone must want this classic?

[kellymoe]

Slow cars. Ha Ha. The only thing going slower than me on the road are series rovers. It actualy does do ok for a truck that size. Will cruise at 75 all day but throw a hill or headwind at it and it starts to slow down a bit. As far as power gains? I dont realy know. It has twin SU carbs right now and I think they came restricted from the factory to a max horsepower of just under 100. If that is the case I would think I could gain another 50+ hp between the intake manifold, carb, high flow air filter, headers and new exhaust without cats. It has a LT85-LT230 gearbox and Salisbury rear end so any increase in power should not be a problem on the drive train. I think that has more to do with the driver anyway. My 109 has a chevy engine and I have had no problems with the drivetrain because I dont drive it with a heavy foot.

[TwisteD90]

Here is mine. She should be on all four tomorrow night and drivable by this weekend, can't wait :)

[TwisteD90]

Old picture!

[KeithElisa]

Here's a shot of my 90 in WV out near the Homestead.

Keith,

[Rick Carlisle]

Here's mine. As clean as it gets.

Damn Doug. 340 bhp. I want that.

Not that garage looking at that pic.

Mine now barely fits with 33's and a 2" lift. I've got about 3/4" with a full gas tank. We'll see how close it gets once the tank's dry.

Here's a pic of mine currently. Bad photo though, my digital camera is dying. She goes in for paint next week. I've still got to decide on a new front bumper.

This is the other porno shot that I really like.

[c2sox]

Well this is a before pic considering I haven't done much to the truck excpet for the lift and tires. Sorry to say she hasn't seen dirt since I bought her late last year, though she has made numerous trips to Home Depot. Here's an action shot, she's carrying 16' crown moldings....hehehe

I think this one will be a life long project, I guess I'll have the after pics sometime in 2014...hehehe

Al

[Doug]

Nice looking truck there, Al. Hey do you have a lot of 'sway' with yours? What shocks/spings did you install? Notice there's no front sway bar on these NAS 110s? I'm trying to figure out how to tighten my truck up. Looking at the new Koni RAID shocks at the moment.... I have 751s in front and 755s in back, and EE says I can't get stiffer springs from OME without a bigger lift, but I don't want to go higher... what to do, what to do...

DW

[c2sox]

Hey Doug,

Actually I don't get much sway at all due to the heavier load springs on the front and rear, but she does sit quite high. I can't say I'm totally sold on the stiffness of the ride though? But then again I don't drive her like a sports car, I drive her like a UPS truck...hehehe.

As far as the setup, she's on....

N115/764 Front
N44/754 Rear

I'll reserve judgment until I get her out on the trail.

Al

[read]

Philip,
Thanks man. It's always fun to drive. Not only do you get the usual looks from passers buy, you get a real rubber necking from other D-90 drivers trying to wrap there head around what they just saw.

Kelly,
I can't seem to get enough of DV. Just can't find the time to get out there more often. That pic was taken out by the Race Track. The Lipencott Lead Mine is in the distance. I don't know what it is but the Race Track allways trips me out. The Saline Valley Rd is next on the list.

[lobster]

I need some more pictures

[kellymoe]

Ah Lippencott, I have spent hours exploring that mine before the NPS took it over. This pic is on the Saline Valley Road near the Lippencott road.

[Trigger]

Got the new OME 751/764 coils and shocks in last weekend. I also got new BFG 285/75 MTs this week too. We also removed the sway bars. Finally got to take it out to the ranch for some offroading this weekend. Here's the best shot my 7 year old son got. He doesn't like riding with me when I get the truck 'tilty'. I know I could twist it more but my diff-lock isn't functional right now so I kept lifting a tire preventing more angle.

I still haven't decided on a replacment front bumper after the accident. Suggestions? Money isn't a huge object but the more I save on it the more I have for other goodies.

[Campbell]

Here is one....Just washed it. I think it looks better with a little dirt. :eek:

[Davis]

Here is my before/after. The last one was on a recent trip to Hole in the Rock Utah--what a great trip to take, by the way! What made it extra special is that it was the madden voyage of my on-board-air system. I designed and built a mounting bracket for V-belt non-AC engines to mount York compressors and it puts out enough to not only fill our tires, but run pretty much any air tool!

[Glenn_Guinto]

Diamond in the rough.... that's pretty cool. Is that a POE hardtop on that 95/97 defender?

[DJ Menasco]

Ehh, here's mine in a friends driveway..........doing nothing. Since our little girl came along I forgot I even owned a Defender.

[sherpamike]

Martin, I too am glad that you have yet to sell your rover. It was an impressive sight when I was in Florida. I thought I would post a picture of mine and show you how the lights turned out. The picture is not the best as I just took it in the Driveway. I'll get some better ones in the coming weeks. I leave to teach fourwheeling in the Mountains this weekend.

[boshea]

Here it is/was...recently sold it. However, I just purchased Defender #4 (95 Java ST)

[Campbell]

Just another normal day with the d90.

[Trigger]

It's been a busy couple of months but the D-90 is back together and looking good. I like how the rear corner turned out. I bent it as straight as I could then 5-bar'ed it. The only thing I didn't do myself was the paint. A local shop did that for me.

If you didn't see the 'before' pics go to: The Wreck Gallery (http://www.nnin.net/gallery).

Only things left to do are put the 5-bar on the wings and bonnet when it finally gets here on its slow boat from the UK. And lights once I decide on what kind I want.

Thanks to all for answering my stupid questions during the rebuild and for your recommendations and advice.

Of course, I finish it and there's rain predicted for the next 7 days.

[mattdh]

doesnt that get you excited- a 90 fresh from the paint shop, galvanized frame!! sorry for the tease guys-i will post more pics when i get more of the body panels on. i was just bored on a sunday night

[dmarchand]

Mine is back from paint too. I will have pics soon.... The silver is NICE

This statement is useless without pictures... :naughty

[TDI Guy]

LOL. I actually bed liner undercoated the under side of my rear tub the other day. I will do the inside on monday or tuesday and then I can put it together.

[dmarchand]

Did you remove the underside tub support rails (cross rails)? Those are what is steel and get you. I went to town with waxoyl inside mine during the rebuild.

[TDI Guy]

they were waxoyled...

[XD90]

well this is mine :)

[Mike Hippert]

Nice! I like the color or colour?:grin

[XD90]

lol at spelling well im living with an american at the moment so am used to all americanisms

Christophe,

What kinda bumper do you have on your D90? Looks like a Scorpion Racing.

Nice looking Defender!

[torero]

It's home made, with a 4" dia tube.But that's true, it look like Scorpion Racing one.

[Mike Hippert]

Hey Noah I copied you post over here so we don't get too off topic in the other thread

Doesn't look like much has been done, but I expect to be finished no later than 2 months from now (except for gears, axles, and lockers - got to wait a little while for those). The SW top is probably going to hold me up a little while. Should have most of the body back together by next weekend.

[Deon]

These are my Rovers. The blue one is my first Defender. I have just returned from a trip to Botswana covering about 3200km (2000 miles). So far I absolutely love it! So much in fact, I'm looking for a nice 90 to add to my collection.

[rover4x4]

I am diggin your Defender, is that monte carlo blue???

[Deon]

Thanks, yes it is Monte Carlo blue. Here is another couple of pics taken in the North of Botswana.

[Art Vigil]

Here's one of our "new" Rover. The photo was taken today, fresh from Discount tire with its new tires and two-day old coil-spring conversion.
1995 Range Rover Classic SWB TWR Edition.

[Mike Hippert]

NICE, what is the TWR Edition?

[Art Vigil]

"...what is the TWR Edition?"

Thanks Mike, Rachel and I are really pleased with it.

From the Land Rover FAQ:
"Brooklands/TWR:
The body-styling kit designed by Tom Walkenshaw Racing (TWR) that was first introduced on the Brooklands model in '91 was featured in the U.S. brochure for the first time (for the '95 SWB model). County Classics with this kit were sold in Epsom Green and Beluga Black.

The kit looks good, but would be destroyed by any real off-roading. For now it's my wife's daily driver, but once we're ready to start wheeling it, all that plastic will come off in favor of new bumpers and rock sliders.

Regards,

[TwisteD90]

Looks sweet Art. What size tires are those? Wait let me guess 235/85 right? :grin

[mlw911]

Just had to add a pic. New to me 95 D90. I have had her paint massaged and redid the interior. She is basically stock now and will start to morph.

Most excellent, Want to run it Sat.? French creek is different everytime I go up there, and Cleaveland rock is harder each trip. JP

[TwisteD90]

I would love to but I'm leading a trip for the Solihull this Sat. The last time I did HC was three years ago with Troy, Tis, and Tom Belecki. I'll try to run HC soon. When does it get snowed in?

Doug did you modify your rear door? JP

[Trigger]

Took Best in Class at the Texas All British Car Day this past weekend. Mine was the only Defender. The Rangies and Discos didn't have a chance.

Yeah, it's barely twisted but the people there were impressed. I didn't have room to bring bigger ramps. :)

[kiefffff]

sweet!

[rover4x4]

outstanding job with the repair, really looks nice.

[ELCIDd90]

gotta love those TN tags, makes me homesick!
(plus that's where the D90 is right now)

[nickt]

This is one of my favorite pics, taken after about 28 hours on the SNIM Iron Ore train in Mauritania ("the longest train in the world"). It would be about a 3 day drive to get where we were going, so the train wasn't too bad. It was also the first (and only) time I've ever hired a whole railroad car myself! We surprisingly got a full 8 hours sleep in the front seats with sleeping bags, even if we were a little stiff in the morning. After we got off the train, we headed south into the desert, but that's a whole other story... A beautiful country is Mauritania.

Cheers,
Nick.

[Mike Hippert]

Very COOL Nick!

[chrisvonc]

I like the one in his avatar the best. If i ever get to update the bios again, the better versions will be in his. :)

[JBurt]

It's basically stock, but I'm a new owner and I'm modifying when I can. Most of what I've done is internal or under the drivetrain. It's the Black 90 on the Rover Snaps section of the latest Rovers North.
Oh, and I love it.

Not ready for winter. My playground will be buried soon.

Val is someone I worked with several dot-coms ago. We kept in touch, I knew she was participating and winning Lara look-a-alike contests. I convinced her to do a photoshoot since Lara drives a IIA in the TombRaider game.

Michael, awesome truck!

I'm curious about the Konis. I have the Heavy Tracks, but not the Raids. Are they much stiffer than the HTs -- what were you running before the Raids? Have you modified the shock towers/mounts?

Thanks,

Doug W.

[D110XD]

Hi Doug!

Thanks!

Before I put in the RAIDS I had the original 110/130 dampers.
I haven't modified the mounts/towers. They're strong enough for my purposes.

The Heavy Track RAID series is stiffer and more heavy duty than the "normal" HTs.
The outer tubes are 2.5mm thick, so that that the damper still functions in case of deformation of outer tube by impact of rocks.
The Reservoir tube has a big bore (70mm) and the oil volume has been doubled for better cooling & efficiency.
They have solid, robust heavy duty attachments. The rebound forces are adjustable in order to adapt your damper to your springs and / or loads.
They also have a double dynamic protection:
- Rebound: progressive hydraulic rebound stop valve
- Bump: extra security in case of big compression impact .......
They are available for max. 5cm longer springs.

I think, they're worth the money. Absolutely.:grin

Michael

[Millsy]

Hello all, new here.

This is my 1989 90. Originally a hard top now a station wagon. 2.5 "19J" turbo diesel, standard LT77 gearbox and transmission, Colway 235/85x16 mud terrain tyres on Wolf rims, LR seat covers and cubby box, rear bench seats, side steps, electric fan, Td5 Defender steering wheel, soon to have HD Range Rover springs. My only vehicle, used daily to get to and from the farm, running around there, running errands, greenlaning, off roading and towing. 133,000 miles on the clock still pulls like a train and starts really easily.

http://www.landrovernet.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=14128

Also have a 1969 Series 2A 88 truck cab with a V8 conversion, and a 1974 Series 3 88 diesel truck cab I'm breaking for spares.

[mikeslandrover]

Hmmmm, another forum on the above link. and here was I expecting a picture of the truck :confused

[chrisvonc]

I think I need to go out with Lara.

[Millsy]

I'll try again...

My 2A V8 and the 90 before it got the Wolf rims.

Chris, get in line, bud! :)

I couldn't resist. She got some press time in the UK. If that movie she's making ever sees the light of day, you'll see her driving my Series IIA.

[mikeslandrover]

Hmmm, very shiney :)

[TDI Guy]

JP looks great. Does it handle better with the weight off it too?

[redrover]

Randy I havnt wheeled it with ST , but it doesnt feel much diff on road. I was surprised how light the alluminum top is . A friend and I could easily lift it over our heads to hang it from the ceiling. The B hoop from a SW weighs about 1/4 as much as the B hoop ST. The weight between the 2 setups must be close. JP

SW to ST last couple days. diggin it already. JP

Hey JP...

How much did that conversion run you ?

And where did you 'source' all of the parts ?

Looks great... seriously.

The cage came from me. If you ever decide to go with ST I might have another roll cage for sale.

[mikeslandrover]

Here's a good one. There's a lesson to be learned here :)

[dmarchand]

Wow, was Hippert nearby?

[Mike Hippert]

LOL, I saw that pic and said I would try that. Ugh! I need to stop going into those holes!

[dmarchand]

You can't stop. Like a moth to the blinding white light...


Bzzzt.

Best to put the tow rope on first :)
That water is deep enough to get your wallet wet when you're seated in the drivers seat :eek:
The water was not warm either.
That hole just draws the inexperienced like a moth to a flame :cool:

[Mike Hippert]

No you don't put the strap on first unless you think you can make it! You make your friends put the strap on! Oh and when in cold water I suggest shorts and sandals, best combo I have found:cool: . But I am experienced! I have been stuck like that allot!:grin

[mikeslandrover]

When marshaling my response is you want to be recovered YOU put the strap on ...... or stay there.

After having the D90 here in Atlanta for nearly 3 months I finally got my camera working and snapped a couple shots. I am sure many of you will notice it is Art Vigil's former vehicle. I have since put back on the limb risers, a Superwinch S9000, and a pair of Hella Jumbo 320s.

Hi Edwin, the 110 and Series, they are not in the US are they? It looks more like SA.

[Hssser]

Hi John!

Close. Well may be in climate perhaps... D110 & SIII are in the Philippine Islands (read near equator). Over the last 7 years, I travel to Asia so often that I acquired these very capable vehicles there. D110 was shot in jungles of the Sierra Madre Mountains while the SIII was shot in front of an old (abandoned) Marcos vacation mansion in Laguna Province.

[Doug]

Welcome to D-90, Edwin! Great looking trucks.

[Hssser]

Hi Doug! Thanks for the greeting and compliment. Yours isn't so bad either. Lots of nice Land Rovers on this site. I like it! Also, thanks for mentioning D-90's site. Been meaning to register here but never got around to it until the time you mentioned it.

Good morning Mike, It was in Tunisia in May 2005.

Fantastic sand, big heat, dust, wind and good land rovering... It was a fantastic trip, we've done it with 5 4x4 with GPS and fantastic book (guide gandini) which give some GPS point.

We found this... In the middle of nowhere... (Approx 20 kms from first town)

Remember?

Labor day weekend always finds me at a friend's ranch in s.e. colorado. There are beautiful petroglyphs and pictographs to be found up and down the canyon walls. Also nearly unlimited wheelin' in sandstone canyon country, with nice river crossings. -Last pic-- can't go thru Rocky Ford without picking up some famous cantelope and some of that cherry cider! Damn, I love harvest season.

[norros]

Haven't posted any pics in a while, mostly because I've been working and haven't had the time to go out.

Anyway, here are a few I dug up, some from this past weekend in the Appalachicola National Forest, nothing crazy... just a good time.


Nicholas

[Mike Hippert]

LOL yaeh that trail looks alittle overgrown. But with time all the scratches in the paint will be covered up with dents :)

[norros]

That was the nervous part because I really couldn't see anything through that one and just felt the truck sinking but it made it through that water ...

I REALLY need to get some front diff protection and steering protection big time. I saw a recent post on that in the tech section...

On to the next purchase...

[JackW]

here's mine....

[gowyn]

finally got around to painting my 110. Ex MoD 110, colour is Caterpillar yellow from the local farm implement place.

added 5.5watt solar panel, deep cycle battery, cheapo fridge, 15 gal water tank and pump, headlining (marine carpeting), overhead console, stall mat for rear floor, sprayed in bed lining, plus my favourite, shore power, that's right shore power, I can plug an extension cord in to power my block heater, cab heater and battery charger etc etc etc

sound proofing is next plus a roof rack I think

That's some beautiful country. Where were they taken, and what's the monument to?

[Jase]

Nice photos Michael -thanks.

Can I ask you what type of cage that is on your 110?

[JBurt]

That is AWESOME!

[D110XD]

Hi!


Thanks! These Pictures were taken in the Western Alps (The french/italian border). A very famous offroading Area in Europe.

There are many old smuggler paths and many old Forts of the time around 1880 and 1905.

These tracks are mostly at an altitude between 2000 and 3200 meters...

This Rollcage is a Standard Landrover / Safety Devices Rollcage for a 110 Hardtop.

some more?

But if you visit Europe / Southern France one day, we could make a little trip....

P.S.:

Rob, you asked me about this monument... Do you mean this Obelisk-type thing?

It's just there to mark the highest point of that pass (Col 'd Izoard). The altitude is on the top of it.

[stevewhitaker]

Here is my 1994 D-90 ST #938 just lounging in the shade after a bath. I am slowly adding/repairing/painting things to it when time and $$$ allow - not that those things coincide all that often.

Rhino lined
LR heavy duty springs with Bilsteins
ARB lockers front and rear w/ inflator kit
GBR heavy duty rear axles
Ashcroft crawler low range gears (nice!)
QT differential guards
Southdown fuel tank skid plate
Dual yellow top Optimas with isolator
BFG 265/75/R16 AT on stock alloy rims
SSR 285/75/R16 on Rover Acc 16x7 steel rims (not shown)
ARB winch bullbar w/steering skid plate installed just after picture taken
Badger II softop (not shown)
4 Hellas for top bar (not shown)

[Mike Hippert]

looking good! How did the install of gears the gears go? Did you take it offroad with the crawler box?

[stevewhitaker]

Dang you respond fast Mike! Yeah, installing the gears was a little bit of a challenge, but not as bad as some other tasks I've forced upon myself. I managed to do some modest offroading here in southern Illinois to check out the new gearing and was as pleased as I had hoped. I really hope to get out west next year where I used to do all my offroading so I can really take advantage of the new low range. It is just so great to be able to walk the truck over just about anything at lower speeds and RPMs. I have heard you really like your new gearing as well.

I have 72:1 gearing in my old Series II, and I used to really hack off a couple of my Jeep buddies, one of whom shoved a 401 V8 into his CJ, because they had a lot of trouble negotiating the steep, rocky terrain with their gearing despite their advantage in horsepower while I chugged over it all with relative ease. You could read their lips as they watched me cruise over the same trails that had given them fits while my under-powered engine was chugging at a shade above idle. Of course, the tables were turned when we were on the highway where my engine encouraged me to obey the 55 MPH speed limit even when there wasn't one.

Perhaps if time permits I'll get a chance to go out with some of you folks back east so you can show me how to negotiate that terrain. Since most of my work/fun up until recently has been out west checking out the geology and archeology, I have never before had the chance to explore the eastern trails.

[Mike Hippert]

Cool! Yeah I love the gears! They work out just right for me! Glad the install went good, did you get any pics along the way?

Yeah if you ever feel like venturing out this way let me know and we'll hit all the good trails!

PS, I love Series rigs, wish I had anough money and time for 2 rovers!

[stevewhitaker]

Yeah, I wish I had enough money and time for 2 Rovers too. Oh, I have 2 Rovers -- I think I see a problem.

[chrisvonc]

Dang you respond fast Mike!I have Mike wired in for direct input from the Forum thanks to a joint venture between The D-90 Source and Oakley sunglass division. He looks bad ass with the shades but can move more than 30 feet from the link. Working on next generation wireless so he will be allowed to use the bathroom.

[Mike Hippert]

Funny, we tested some stuff like that a year ago! Although it was for military use they had a screen about 1" by 1" that displayed 640x640 res on the inside of a helmet visor. It was pretty cool!

[jdb3760]

I can't think of all the trail names off the top of my head. My dad and I just went up for the monthly run. I think we did some of rattler, turtle, blueberry?...all i know is that most of the trails proved pretty difficult for the jeeps because of there tendency to spin on the ice. Good times though.

I would have taken the line to the left, itdoesn't look that bad :grin

[rover4x4]

i dont know you might make it, pedal to the metal i thought about trying but didnt need to go thru to get to where i was going so I went around. It was deep and about the same length as the wheelbase. I had to walk a ways to get someone to pull me out.

[Mike Hippert]

You could have made it! In the famous words of Jimmy "Third low and BOOT IT!"

Of course if I tried it, the mud would be 6 feet deep and as soon as I hit it the engine would jump out of the truck :P

It's amazing how you miss reverse gear when it's completely shot.
And before anyone says anything about not trying the foward optopn hard enough, reverse was blown because I was trying too hard to start with.
