What did you do to your Rover today?

Yay!!!! Back from inspection with a shiny new sticker. It's the shiniest bit on the whole truck.

After two years of on and off work I finally got the wheels into the powder coater, back again and bf goodrich all terrain tires mounted/ I went with 31x10.5x15. Put them on the truck last night and just now drove it. No so shockingly the truck drives WAY better now that the 40 year rubber has been replace (yes it still had the original tires). I even went on the freeway which would have been terrifying before. Below is the truck and also with the others, the '57 Series I new to the fold and the 95' D-90. Really nice to get past this milestone and actually have a truck that I now like to drive.

Put almost 200 miles towing a trailer on the old girl yesterday. Went to pick up some new toys for my garage! The truck ran perfect and got 17.2mpg with about 600lbs in the trailer for half the trip.

Now I just need to clean the 90wt off the inside of the windshield! That reminds me, I think it's time to put that new rear pinion seal in that's on the bench.

Tire balance machine and tire changer... Nice!

Artpeck, I love your oil spots, they look so familiar.

I am glad you do. My wife has bitten her tongue so far. And each one has it's own unique leak pattern.

My wife has only made a big stink twice; when one of my swivel seals totally let go, and when my fuel tank leaked a hole into our new driveway.

Installed the alpine glass in my rebuilt roof.

Thankfully that has not happened. Sort of. I keep one parked over the fuel hole in the driveway that happened when I reinstalled the tank and everything didnt quite go as planned.

Nice looking bunch of toys... if you need a real test of the Rover bring those to my garage only about 3,000 miles away.

Thanks, if I ever get rid of them I'll let you know. I know the truck would make the trip, just don't know how long it would take!

Found that my driver side wiper had stopped working (when it started raining, of course).

Got home, tightened the 1/4" bolt that holds the wiper arm in place.

Everything works again. This may have been the easiest fix...in the world.

Some what of a ditto . . . drove her to work. What's so amazing about it is that she was in a thousand pieces in a shed for over two years. Feels so good. Can't stop looking out the building window to see her in the parking lot. I've been asked twice, "Where can I get my hands on a car like that?" ( 73, 109 SW)

Made a 250 mile trip to New Hampshire to pick up the new Richard's galvy chassis for my Daisey ('62 Dormobile):>)...

Called locksmith to extract broken key from Duke ('99 DII), then replaced the battery, then discovered a new problem...rpms increase but engine will not return to idle :>(...and the saga continues...
