I have a galvanized Series IIA bulkhead, and was considering using Defender vent seals because they attach to the vent itself instead of the bulkhead itself. Anyone done it, and did they seal as well as the Series seals?

The Iditarod Trail Invitational is underway, and this year looks to be an epic after last year's semi-groomed race. Tons of snow falling. Anyone who finishes is a monster in my book.

The Gubblemobile- My own project has seen delay after delay, as I used up the entire budget x2 buying parts, waited for almost a year for my bulkhead and other hard parts, and then had all of the money I had saved go into vet bills. In the meantime, the project got blocked in by boxes and the...

OK, I'm going to plead complete ignorance here, and I know there are some people that work in the auto body industry here. If this is a dangerous option, please let me know. Here's my situation: The footwells of my Series III bulkhead are shot, and I've removed the passenger side completely...

If you haven't seen it already, there's a great series of articles in the last few Rovers North newsletters about this African Rover Series II expedition. Really a great read when you have the time. http://www.roversnorth.com/store/t-downloadsrnnews.aspx

Now he sells it. http://anchorage.craigslist.org/cto/989443513.html The owner used to own the best 4x4 shop in Alaska, and used to get the best deals on whatever 4x4 struck his fancy. This is an example. He had to wait until I was armpit deep in my Rover pile before he decided to sell it. I...

I'm all giggly today. After 6 months of backordered limbo, my Camel Trophy, the Land Rover Years DVD showed up today. It replaces (somewhat) the 3rd-generation copies that Scott made for me of a few of the early-mid '90s Camel Trophy tapes that he borrowed from the Boise Land Rover dealership...

Through a badly-listed eBay auction, I came into possession of 5 Old Man Emu N15 shocks. From what I can tell, they are for an '92 and up Isuzu Trooper rear and the extended length is 20.16", collapsed is 12.75". These haven't been installed (from what I can tell) and still have the metal...

Well, I have the Seriestrek axleshafts in the rear (24 spline), but for the moment I'm staying with the stock front shafts. I would like to replace them with new ones and carry the old ones as spares. That said, I'm finding lots of cheaper outer shafts in the $50 range, but no inner shafts...

10/08/08: The following is a thread that I, a new Land Rover owner, started a few months ago, trying to get a handle on the whole "Land Rover approach to wheeling". Land Rover (even in the early days) has always had a certain air that set it apart. Jeep has a similar, unique aura about it- a...

I don't mean to pump up the price, but this was a fairly rare item and the reserve hasn't been met yet. Nice for someone looking for a resto item. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Series-Land-Rover-Fairey-capstan-winch-88-109_W0QQitemZ160223181681QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item160223181681

This is my first closed knuckle axle in awhile. I'm farily certain under all of that grime on the front axle is two pitted swivel balls, although I'm not seeing any real leaks. I know this can mean one of four things: 1. The swivel balls and seals are in perfectly servicable shape. 2. The...

The other night I looked down at what remains of the factory seats in my Series III (ripped, deteriorating, and wrapped in clear tape), and I couldn't help but think that, even new, they would be less than ideal on long trips. Perhaps I'm mistaken here. For those of you who do long-distance...

As I said in the Rover Fever thread, I bought this '73 Land Rover Series III SWB for $500 from a friend. I did a quick once-over, checking the frame at various points and looking at the bulkhead to see what was wrong. It doesn't run (shop rags stuffed in the spark plug ports and the carb) and...

A little advice required... I've been a Jeep CJ guy forever. Vehicles that exude "funk factor" just own my soul. Recently a friend dropped by and noticed the Jeep. Then he casually mentioned that he had a Series III 88 hardtop sitting in his backyard and asked if I was interested. Rusted frame...

Just posted up a trip report on the Last Frontier Four Wheelers website of our last journey to Ruby Lake. Scott ran this trail with me back in 2002, but it has changed considerably since then.
