    Factory Snorkel Value

    Just out of curiosity, what is a factory snorkel kit worth for a SIIa? I have one on my truck now but I'm not that concerned w/ being an exact factory original restoration. I would be just as pleased with an aftermarket snorkel and have heard the factory ones are exceedingly rare and valuable...

    97 Defender 90 SW in Corniston Green $18K

    Not me, don't know them, yadda yadda. It's at the end of my street and I'm so tempted but don't really have the time to hassle with buying another vehicle with an impending deployment in a few weeks. It looks good when I drive-by, great for that price. Yeah, it's on Oahu but you can ship...

    I haven't done much internally on a 2.25 petrol but it is rover so nothing surprises me anymore; has anyone seen or heard of this scenario?

    I took the landy out a few weeks ago checking out the surf. As I was rolling through one of the beach parks a guy stopped me and asked if I needed any land rover parts (duh, always) He tells me one of his renters has a series that hasn't been driven in years and I can have it if I haul it...

    School Me: KTM 625 SXC

    I saw this on craigslist. http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/mcy/964229705.html Good deal? I know nothing about these bikes. In the past I've owned/raced a few XR's and my favorite bike has been my F650 Dakar (not good for much more than dirt roads though). Can you get luggage for the...

    Another Snorkel Question (for SII or III)

    I have a factory snorkel :snorkel: on my SIIa that was on it when I bought it but a friend is looking for a snorkel for his 76 rhd SIII. I'm looking for info on what's available and who sells them? It seems all I can find anything about are late model truck snorkels. Thanks!

    FJ60 axle

    Is this a good axle? Good deal? 82' toyota FJ60 solid front axle....everything is exactly the same as the 79'-85' toyota pickup axle, but with the FJ axle, you dont need spacers for a conversion. the third member is the stronger 9.5" ring gear, and has stronger inner and outer axle...

    Fuel Range

    Here's a topic that will be argued to death. I'm just looking to get a general consensus about what would be an ideal target fuel range between what you have in tanks plus what you're carrying. It's nice to plan for how many extra fuel cans do you need. Yes, I realize that this number can...

    Okay, it's getting late and I'm getting crazy thoughts again. So say you happen to have an 88" frame laying about. How much could you stretch it by adding to the flat section just forward of the part that curves up w/ the front hangers for the rear springs. I'm not concerned with body/tub...

    What's this?

    So I started thinking about CB's and 2m radios for the truck. I knew my truck had an antenna base on the roof but I never looked closely at it and figured it had been for a CB radio. Nope, it appears to be a 70cm antenna. So here are a few pics of what I'm looking at if someone can enlighten...

    Transfer case cover

    Does anyone have a good solution to minimize the leaks around the T-case cover? I know Wise Owl and SeriesTrek both make covers of aluminum, does anyone have experience with these? Which is better? I know Wise Owl has cooling fins but the Seriestrek cover appears thick and bulletproof...
