What did you do to your Rover today?

[Lalo88DK]

Fitted my newly purchased Roof Rack, it's a DIY (not by me) fitted a ladder too.

Later in the afternoon I also took off and sold the 24 volt winch, a 12 volt winch is going on instead.

Very sharp looking vehicle !
Very nice backdrop, too.
Thanks for posting

Steen,
You are doing some great stuff! Very nice rig! Looking through your site...I have quick question...what was the purpose of the "DIY: Rude-Vents"

[bkreutz]

I've been working on mounting a "Tuffy" console in my Series III, I got it from RN, but wasn't satisfied with the mounting kit (in all fairness, it was for a Defender) So I made a mount that would enable me to easily remove the box so I could check the oil level in the overdrive. Just finishing up the wiring for the radio. After I'm done and satisfied with the results I could post some pictures of the mount if anyone's interested.

"Rude-Vents" = to Provide defroster air to the front corners of your front door glass just like the Defender-vents. But I need to fit bigger hoses to make it work properly

Console box and door panels

Today I finished installing a console box and door panels in my 109. The console box is made of 1X12 boards cut to size. It has two compartments, the upper one a deep compartment to hold bits like the winch remotes. I also installed two cup holders made from 3" ABS drain pipe and flat end caps, and a three plug power port. It is attached to the seat box center access cover, so it just lifts out to check the OD oil level.

The door panels are made from painted 1/4 plywood, covered with vinyl. The upper section has a thin layer of padding under the vinyl.

I also finished the cab control switches for the Warn 8274 winch. The winch is mounted on a Pangolin bumper. Thanks Ike.

I also used the 109 to tow our lawn mower 1/4 mile after it overheated (from mice...) and blew the head.

I finally got around to unbolting and de-wiring a PO fabricated trailer connector that was mounted through the rear tub. I hope to find a great local welder that can patch up the nice round hole that remains.

That was way back at the start of this thread. Found the welder. Them holes just disappeared!

Thanks Greenmeanie for the lead.

Note to all others. Need alu welding in AZ? I've got a kick @ss welder for ya.



After

De-rusted, painted, check and rebuilt the rear axle and began to prepare the front one for the same treatment.







And hopefully will go thru the all the parts of the truck...



And install them back on this...



But today was an axle day. Still a few to come to complete the rear and the front one.

What seat backs are those in the 1st pics? They look taller than normal?

The seatbacks are the normal seatbacks, nothing special.

Thks... My eyes were playing tricks on me..

Did an oil change and also a transmission oil change. No fun trying to fill the transmission without an oil syringe! Used a length of clear hose and a pointy tipped bottle. It worked, but I wore a lot of oil!
