series 3 or range rover?

[tronka-truck]

Ok the short story is i foolishy sold my 2 door with 35's and maxis, but now i'm ready for the next toy. I was looking at range rover both 2 and 4 door, but a friend has a series 3 land rover with a factory v8 and four speed, now i don't know that much about these except they are tough as nails. And that the rear end is leaf sprung, so maybe swapping in a county rear for better articulation?

Note this will not be a touring car, it will be a toolangi (vic) tracter,


Any help would be awesome!

I love the Range Rovers but i am more off road than on road. But i always looking a bit jealous to the Series 3 and 110.

A Series/Defender is the only real Land Rover and i like the shape but dont like them from inside as all.
Thats a mates 110 http://forum.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtop ... 5#p1519525.
Goes very good and looks awesome.
If i ever start an other off road project again, it will be a mog or a 110.

It needs a bit to get a Series working like a Range Rover but then they are very good. Forget about leaf at all - go 110.

Thanks
Chris

Thats a series 3 Stage 1 V8 though. Its got the 3.54 diffs, not the 4.7's and the rear is the big Salisbury diff, not the rover diff.

it has a narrower track width...cramped cab drum brakes...get the rangie or early Def

Thanks alot folks!

Im going to go down the rangie way, preferably 4 door was finding it hard to get parts for my door. So if anyone knows of a good starting point car, please pm me or reply. Not really fussed about the body, more just the mechanicals (manual pref). If the body is rough, well, i always wanted to do a ute!
Thanks again.
