Is it possible?

The funny thing I've noticed recently driving the Rover with earbuds in is that all the various noises change. And as we all know, a new or different noise is, or could be cause for alarm! I've ripped those things out in a panic thinking the worst, only to realize I was attenuating frequencies, which has the effect of enhancing other ("new") frequencies. Nothing was coming apart and as soon as the buds were out, it sounded perfectly normal. Panic subsided.

I'll get used to it eventually, I'm sure!

If highway speeds are important either get a different vehicle, or purchase a modified rover that's got a larger power plant in it. My V8 hits seventy miles per hour with an ashcroft high transfercase and the original transmission.

Though if you do get one with a bigger engine make sure it's also got a more robust transmission. I'm replacing the original with something that was built to handle more power.

Also, make sure you have good life/health insurance.
