    Alu Cab Khaya camper for sale on eBay- reserve hit at $750.00

    ...I am grateful it got a bit higher than $750! but still happy if someone gets a good deal. As a side note, (I'm not able to add this to eBay-too close to the end of the auction?) If the price goes over $10000, I'll include the Natl Luna fridge/freezer. I think they are selling for > $1000...

    Alu Cab Khaya camper for sale on eBay- reserve hit at $750.00

    I'm parting with my Khaya and wanted to note the opportunity of a lifetime (if you are looking for one). I haven't used it in awhile since we purchased some acreage in the country and have been focused on building the property out. hurry! there's only a day left and the reserve was met at...

    ...so, I meant to start this build thread about 3 years ago. 1992 RRC SWB overlanding

    I bought the '78 from a serious collector: Marco Gandino www.classicteam.it (he founded this club and has stuff about him all over the internet) in Italy who had the restoration done. Somewhere I have emails, pictures and a bunch of stuff from when I was making the deal. Supposedly a "famous"...

    The transfer case is Land Rover but the transmission is a GM. Hill Country British in San Antonio did the swap. Land Rover dedicated shop with super people, super skills and super experience.

    Wow, how time flys, sorry it's taken so long to post. I had a friend create a website with a TON of shots of the RRC including some drone shots. The pictures show how the vehicle is currently equipped INCLUDING nice shots of the LS motor. and, on the website, I have my other RRC, a 1978...

    A few shots from the Big Bend trip: Up next (when I have a moment to take some current pictures) are the results of an engine swap to address the power need and mpg improvement, sway bar, sound system and a few other modifications

    ...nice side shot: At this point, we took the vehicle on a run to Big Bend. Man did it take awhile to get there and gas mileage was really low (if i recall 7-8 mpg). Something had to be done about power...oh, and the rear stabilizer bar mount was sheared on Black Gap road. We heard all kinds...

    ...obviously, (as most of you probably guessed), a new suspension would be needed. Add to this the need for a spare tire (rear bumper with swing spare tire mount) and a winch (front bumper), skid plate and diff guards, rocker skids, and probably a few other odds and ends I don't recall, and we...

    Thank you for the comments. I hope some of the next moves don't cause too much contention! So the in flight entertainment module had to go but that was a bit later; I had other things to deal with first. As this started a restoration (hence the 3.9) and later evolved in to an overlanding...

    Exactly...That...was a mistake. I thought I wanted/needed built in navigation as well as a really good sound system and the in flight (love that name) was the result. I did get navigation and a really good sound system. Fortunately because of the high vantage point in the RCC, driving sight...

    The first additions were to add air lockers, remove the rear seats and add drawers, fridge and sound system/navigation. Aux battery and C-Tek D250S and Smartpass and solar were added. I can't say enough about this system. I've had several others and this one, genuinely keeps everything at peak...

    ...a few shots of the console area before modifications. I thought I wanted a build in navigation unit so that was the plan; (pictures to come soon). And this is basically what the Classic looked like after the "it was going to be my daily driver" restoration:
