    Default "Otis" the RRC is ready to romp

    After 6 months of work, Otis the RRC is sorted and now stops when you step on the brake. It soaked up over $4K of OEM parts, and Lucky 8 now has a lien on my house, but its ready for wheelin' Can't wait to field test the F&R air lockers on some north country granite this weekend in Vermont. Next big ticket item are sliders, if I can find any....

    Anyone have any experience trouble shooting the 6 disk CD players on these? Mine is loading but not being acknowledged by the head unit.

    Oh, wow! That's really nice... I'm envious, as my R.R.C. will never look that good, or be kitted out so well. As for the CD player, I had a similar problem, and luck was on my side, it was a corroded connector at the changer.

    Like mearstrae said my Range Rover will never look as nice as yours. Great looking Classic. It will never be as well equipped as your sounds to be either. But let's get them out on the trail and enjoy the heck out of them, that's what they're for right?

    We're fresh back our first off road event together, a day of romping on some challenging class 4 Vermont roads. The traction control is pretty amazing, and there is plenty of articulation with anti-swaybars removed. There was another RRC in the group of 12: it was bro-mantic.

    Can you give details on the additions to the Rover? Suspension, tires, rack, bumper.

    Looks great!

    Thanks!
