Anyone interested in doing this again this year coming up..??

Still in process.....this bloody covid thing put a huge damper on evening.

G’day Justin...nice to see you surface again.... I will dig up the files for you that everyone has used....sadly all the other trucks that have replaced the hood decals have replaced it with an incorrectly printed one..I bought a set (not cheap) and found the ones currently available have some...

So I got to mount the ARB rooftop tent the way I wanted it as well as the ARB 6ft side awning.. as well as position the shovel and axe where I wanted it to make sure it didn’t interfere with the solar panel slide-in I am doing.. looks like it will all work well together..:)

So we picked up another disco2 but I don’t think it’s going to make the grade to become a Moss Expedition truck, a bit too much underbody rust for my liking, such a shame as it’s the right colour, year and interior and looks pretty good in pics, but get underneath and oops... So it will make a...

So while I wait for our basic rack from voyager so that I can add some custom brackets and mounting points and then ship back to them so that they can produce the racks I want.... I started on the next victim to get the makeover..:)this is a 2003 xd so no sunroofs and very basic trim... I like...

Who says the ARB front bumpers are a 2 or 3 man install..;) So I test fitted the front and rear bumpers and then sent them to my painter to be painted in an epoxy based tesxtured finish, when these bumpers are left in their original shiny finish they are extremely slippery when wet, and you...

Custom headliner about to be installed..:)

So a problem with the disco2 vehicles is that they often get weak blower fan output... this is usually what causes this.. When the wiper cowl breaks it lets leaves and stuff get into the fresh air intake area and then sucked into the fan blower, which greatly reduces the blower output, makes...

So it’s been about a week since the truck was painted and I’ve been holding off on putting external stuff on as I wanted a good wet sand and buff job done..and today was the day...really happy with the way the paint has turned out..it took 3 guys 5 hours to get it to the level I was happy with...

LR3 is a different animal and I haven’t had to do one yet to know..but the LR3 sunroof drains leak from where it comes out of the side air intake vent..there is a modified tube to be installed from memory, you have to remove the side air intake grill to access..

Doing something special for the headliner..stay tuned...:)

The sunroofs in these cars have always been an issue of concern so I removed the sunroof assemblies completely to paint the truck so I wanted to see how I could ensure they don’t leak, while the sunroof drain tubes on this car were still intact I found that the plastic drain tube sections were...

Sadly to do the engine it will cost about $4500 in parts and machine shop charges, this is to do a performance cam, t top liners, new timing chain, rings bearings, redo the heads etc etc etc.. or apparently you can just buy a diesel land cruiser....lol..

Well maybe you need to look a little closer at your lack of intellect and skills to work on them properly, thankfully I possess both...but I’m sure Land Rover misses your patronage and the Toyota groups love your witty intellect... have a nice day..
