Looks like a fun trip! BTW, what happened with the front wheel bearings? Also, do you think you just need to re-seal the front adaptor/transmission or do you think the leak will require a more surgical repair?

Now THAT sounds like fun! I'd drive Rango on a trip like that in a heartbeat :coffeedrink:

There is a lot to be said for just slowing down and enjoying the view...probably one of the most therapeutic aspects of a vehicle like Rango :coffeedrink:

If you can stand the lower top speed, then I'd go with the 5.38s as a simple solution before I'd re-power etc, otherwise, I'd maybe look into a different transfer case option.:coffeedrink:

What did you end up going with for the roof color? Very curious to see how it turned out :coffeedrink:

What became of your idea to retrofit a low range quadratrac unit? Personally, I'd go with 4:88 gearing and the quadratrac unit to retain drivability and still have an ultra low range solution :coffeedrink:

My wife drives her 1989 Range Rover all over the place, bone stock except for 1" lift HD springs and Bilstein Shocks & stabilizer, and kept well tuned, gets 17mpg, and I drive my highly modified 1997 Discovery I about a third of the time to work [62mile round trip] to keep everything lubed &...

That is a very exciting video for a very inspirational build! To think that most of what you accomplished was with parts you had around your place makes this all the more amazing - Excellent work! BTW, I was in suspense when you stalled out near the top - were you even a little worried about...

That is pretty cool - can't wait to see how it turns out :coffeedrink:

any updates?

I love your idea to retrofit a low range quadratrac unit - it will be exciting to see how that turns out! Personally, I'd go with 4:88 gearing to retain drivability now that you have an ultra low range sollution :coffeedrink:

In most of the photos I see of the expedition, there is no love for the mysterious truck with the black canopy pictured here in the middle - what is it's role in the expedition, what is it, how is it equipt, why is it exlcuded from many of the photos, etc? I like this thing and want to know more...

That is just awsome - I love this Rover! What drivetrain is powering & moving this rig? What axles etc? I need more pics and info :coffeedrink:

What you are doing with your mechanical carb is almost a lost art in today's world of computer controlled garbage - good work! BTW, how are the tranny & T-Case doing? Did you ever find a suitable sollution to your front drive-shaft output issue from the t-case? :coffeedrink:

I'd love to know if anyone on the forum has converted one to 4x4, as I have always thought these would make great camping & weekend-weeklong beach & woods getaway expedition vehicles :coffeedrink:
