What did you do to your Rover today?

How do you like those Toyo's?

Took the 88 out Chuckar hunting in north west Nevada. Perfect winter day![ATTACH=CONFIG]9101[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]9102[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]9103[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]8799[/ATTACH]Installed a new aluminum rear tank in my 67 109 that is now 23 gallons. Needed a baffled tank to stop the slushing and wanted to get my fuel pump mounted inside the tank as well.

Nice tank, you have a installed pic?

added a webasto heater so I won't freeze to death and cameras so I no longer have to use the force to change lanes in Shorland

Hi Lads. New poster but not new here. Just changed the water pump on my 72 series 88. Took off the radiator cowling but the screws were rusted so I hacked them off. I plan on retapping the holes but just finished the job without reinstalling the cowling for now. Took her for a test ride and it fells hot for this time of year. My question is...does that radiator cowling around the fan really make a difference? Thanks in advance, Phil

Edit. Is there an easy foolproof test to make sure the system is circulating properly?

Yes the cowl makes a diffrence. Often you have to park on a hill to get the nose up to burp a bit of air out. Start the truck with the radiator cap off and let it warm up, when the thermostat opens you will see a good amount of coolant rushing past as you look down the neck of the radiator. If you did a straight refill through the radiator then you more then likely have a air bubble.

Don't forget to have the heater on when burping the system.

Spent the evening in the shop mounting my rover work light and fabbed up a mount for my Garmin Rino GPS.

If you spend any time on wash board roads the shaking of the light on the 'L' bracket will cause a fatigue crack in the roof along the edge of the steel bracket. Been there had that happen.

I suggest removing the bracket from the roof and filing a rounded edge along the bracket where the bracket meets the roof panel. When you reassemble add an aluminum back plate to the inside of the roof panel behind the steel light mounting bracket. The back plate should be thicker than the roof panel and extend wider than the lamp bracket. This will keep the roof panel from vibrating with the shaking of the light bracket on wash board roads.

Of course roof metal fatigue usually is not an issue unless you drive long miles on wash board dirt roads. BTW I like your GPS mount.

Where did you get those headlight guards?
I like that look.

I had them on an old Mitsubishi (willys) jeep diesel we drove all over northern japan in the mid 80's. The Japanese where very eager off roaders and had all sorts of accessories on there trucks.

Nice looking tank. How is it working for you?
I really like the idea of 23 gallons. The my 109 has a rear 12 gallon along with the r/h 12 gallon mounted but more is always good when thinking about longer trips.
