What did you do to your Rover today?

[4flattires]

Should I, or not.

I pondered putting in the overdrive today.

Nahhh....

Some other time.

Just drive it as usual

Although it is still early and the mail hasn't arrived with it yet I installed a new alternator. The Rover gods being willing.

The last "repairs" were done last week at the annual state inspection. The local mechanic found loose nuts on the propshaft where it attaches to the transmission brake assembly, and loose nuts on a spring hanger plate. Otherwise, everything was fine. I need to replace the dodgy windshield wiper blades, but that's it for now.

During this week, the Rover has hauled a lot of firewood and served as my carpentry vehicle. I would like to swap out the canvas top for the safari top during the predicted "January thaw" next week.

Installed a locker

Installed a detroit locker in our Salisbury getting ready for the winter romp, and topped up all the fluids

Alternator done. Worried about nothing.

I hauled this home:

[rbonnett]

Broke 100 KMH for the first time. Might even have gone over 110. I'm not sure - the adrenaline sort of got to me.

Granted it was dead calm, the truck was well warmed up and I had a nice long downhill on good pavement. Regardless, I got that cheating death rush out of it.

Apis - what's that gonna turn into?

Oil change, Fuel filter change, and replaced the gasket on the fuel draw tube. I love the smell of diesel on my hands, but the wife says I stink.

[NickDawson]

pulled my faulty overdrive off, did some diagnosis work and tried to get Apis to mail me a new transmission

Ran around town in the snow, taking care of the usual Saturday errands. It was one of those days that makes me long for a real heater in the thing.

winter romp

Sounds like you are getting ready for the winter romp!

[glbft1]

yep sure am are you going?

[brucejohn]

Well, not just today... since Friday.

New fluids for engine, gearbox, transfer case and swivels. Didn't have any gas at the ranch so air filter will get cleaned tomorrow after work (if I remember to bring home gas )

Will check tappets tomorrow night as well.

Checked plugs, good color and gap okay. Checked points, okay.

Installed power brake servo valve (I really don't like the new fangled angled valve with original master cylinder reservoir)

Fabricated mounts for 'new' front bumper from extra rear bumper off cancerous old chassis.

Went for a 70 mile spin out west past Hunt on Highway 39. A two lane blacktop next to the Guadalupe River maximum posted speed 55.

Great weekend.
