Outer Limits 4x4 Board

yes rover no 3 build up ,so let the mods begin
she,s a 89 3.9 vogue auto with 270 000

i still have my lt230 from my defender ,how much work is involved in swapping the borg or is the borg worth keeping ?

all the best with round three defmac!!

Swap isnt to difficult. The borg is ok assuming it's not already rat shit.
Its when you start getting lockers that it will begin to be a real downfall.

Other then that if you change your mind, I got $400!

$400 lol i only paid $300 for it

Well I more then happy to reduce my $400 to $200

Just make sure you have a front drive shaft for a LT230 as the BW one is about 40mm longer. Also the linkage for the diff lock will be required or you could make up your own

Good luck with the build. 89 is a good vintage (that's what I have) although the 3.5 is a slug

dec 89 build but Manuel says its a 1990,and i have the prob shafts off my defender as well as the front brake calipers .
i think i will wait until i can get %50 reduction gears put into the lt230 before i swap it over

picked up a winch for $100, still works but needs some work

thats a good score, not to many hi mounts going for $100

Bloody hell, you can't whinge about that even if it needs some TLC. Some new parts and it's still far less than the new price

Grimace, I didn't fully read the new post re-3.5 Still it technically a 90 model VIN number should read SALLHAM3GA somethinmg or rather

awesome score but i dont think its just the winch that need some work how about your couch

well got my rover going good enough to get it regoed ,drove it for two weeks until the engine started to be a pita.
got some reco injectors from the U.S. ,put them in and it ran smoother until the engine started cutting in and out so i went to check the rotor on the dizzy ,pulled on it and the whole shaft came out with it . time for a new distributor

got a hei new off flea bay for $300 ,did some grinding , ordered some custom leads , wired it up and ............no spark .
im going to buy a voltmeter to check the wire as i have used the original coil + (white wire)

the old 180 out on the timing trick hey

well i just became a member of the lt230 49% club ............ woot woot

Sounds good. Where did you get you reduction gears from and how much?

Cheers.

i bought a transfer with the gears fitted already but you can get the 5:1 gears from M R automotive in Brisbane for around $1200 i think
