I love that truck but doesn't putting the ladders on the roof sort of present a chicken and the egg conundrum?

[CliftonRover]

I wonder if the computer comes with it....It is a cool truck, those must be more than 36"

[rwollschlager]

yea i think they're 40-inch michelins. A couple years ago he had a set of 44-inch swampers. Its ranked as one of my favorite rovers of all time.

A few pics of my 74 FFR Lightweight. Anyone know where to source Nato Green rattle can in the states?







Thanks!

NICE, and you got me on the can of paint????????!!!

You might try calling these people as they import ex MOD stuff all the time. My wife still won't let me get a Chieftain no matter how many hints I give at christmas.

Khaki Corps Imports

If you're planning touch up you'll find it a pain as no one imports the ex MOD stuff anymore and they won't ship it. As it is an alkyd paint it fades at a different rate (Damn fast in the AZ sun) from enamel or the other types so you end up with a spotty truck.

On my 101 I plan a full respray one day when I feel rich. The original matt cabbage is very porous and soaks up water which doesn't help with corrosion. The general advice is to put on a coat of gloss to seal it and then a matt finish over that. Think about the factory bronze green then getting overpainted with cabbage and black.

My somewhat vague plan is to have the cabbage colour made up in high gloss enamel and then apply a matt clear coat over that.

Here are my two, going to make one good 'un.

This is the 1965 IIa. While I knew at the time that Series were prone to rust in the bulkhead and frame I did not seem to realize that a totally rust colored bulkhead met, uh, a totally rusted bulkhead. At least it had brand new tires, a winch, and a lot of good parts.

These two pics are of my new baby, the Series III. I picked it up just over a week ago, also from alabama. It is a 1973 or 74.

Ok, I don't know how to add pics. Sorry about that. It worked when I first set it up. I try to figure it out and get something up.

Actually, our preferred method is to have the photos stored off-site... Directions below.

http://www.roversnorth.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2895

How to post photos in-line, rather than attaching them.

1. Go to any free photo hosting site like http://www.flickr.com or any other paid webserver photo posting service, like http://www.mac.com for instance.

2. Upload your photos.

3. After you upload your photo on your new webserver space, have the image you want on your browser (preferably the right sized one too) and right click (or control click on a Mac) on the photo, and "Copy Image Location".

4. Buzz over here to the RoversNorth forum and go to the thread you want to post the photo into. Or you can start a new thread, or "Quote", or "Reply" in an existing thread.

5. In the WYSIWYG editing box where you type the message, there are little icons across the top - click on and then paste in the "Copy Image Location" URL from step 4. This will "link" your photo (hosted on your webserver account) to the RoversNorth forum.

I hope this helps everyone.

Trying again, thanks for the help.

Nice. Looks great!

What I did was...

- Clicked on the middle link in your above post
- Once this came up in Flickr I clicked on the "larger sizes"
- The larger image came up I put my mouse over it and clicked down with my mouse AND the "control" key on the keyboard at the same time and a drop down menu popped up. If you have a mouse with two buttons, you can just use your right mouse click to get the pop up window.
- I choose "Copy Image Location"
- Hit the button above and hit paste into the field provided.

Great, thanks for the help! The picture above was from one of my best days in a long while--great fun.
