Not much unfortunately. Only had a quick chat with him. That was the first time I'd been on a trip with Ant. 110Tdi, locked and upgraded Rover diffs, 36s. It's simple but it works really well and he drives the wheels of it.

Here is BOB.

Formerly the Rangie of Aquarangie on here. I bought it off Trav for a handsome sum and went about changing a few things. First to go was the Rover diffs in favour of a Toy Conversion. 4.3:1 ratios were used with a 100 series HP front and Hilux rear. Detroit locker in the rear and ARB for the front (going in very soon). RoverTracks 30 spline front and rear axles and drive flanges and Longfields 30 spline CVs are inside the Rover housings.

A lovells 3" lift with custom front dropped mounts and Scorpion Racing rear dropped mounts. Scorpion Racing rear arms. 37" Maxxis Creepy Crawlers on 16x8 zero offset rims. Added some tube to the sliders and some rock lights for blinging night runs.

Next to come are Maxi-Drive 5:1 transfer gears and some more tube work. Seriously considering tubing the front end.

this is my 77 two door rangie. bought it a few weeks ago and it has had some mods to suspension, 31 inch muddies, snorkel, dual batteries, body lift, f&r diff protectors, nudge bar, steering protector, uhf, nav, on board air and soon to be fitted rear ARB air locker and swing away wheel carrier. Future plans include 33's, flares and guard chop and maybe a front locker :twisted:

Land Rovers on airbags

Post by twistylandroverguy »

Hey Guys. Here's Mine. 109" series 2a SW. Not even close to being finished but it's going much faster than I expected. Currently building the suspension. Full 4 link on air bags. Using Firestone W01-358-5429 bags mounted halfway along the lower links. Should give me about 30" of wheel travel. Please tell how to upload pictures and I'll show you what I've done so far.
