wingnut 0 #2 July 6, 2005 it it just me or is the rover sitting on two jack stands a floor jack andone of the front rotors??? and what cha doing? changing the muffler/exhaust? looks like fun, but ya know ya really should have a good asortment of air tools there, nothing says body work and cutting than an angle grinder and a nibbler... ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #3 July 6, 2005 Ben has the Sawzall and I have the 1/2'' air hammer. Replacing the rear shocks, already finished the fronts. Had the cut the port side shock out, rusted completely through. Much noise and smoke. Great fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingnut 0 #4 July 6, 2005 QuoteMuch noise and smoke. Great fun yup, with the right tools working on cars is awsome, with the wrong ones it just is a pain in the ass, and leads to much frustration and bloody knukles...... whenever i work on my car now i budget into it about 200 extra just for tools i mighneed along the way.. bestthing i ever bought so far was the cordless impact wrench, yeah it only goes to 80 ft lbs but t sure has come in handy more than once... and living in an aartment it is sort of hard to keep a nice big compressor and air tools around...... have fun with the rest, that remonds me i have to take my car into the shop, they recalled it for a possible faulty exhasut manifold, hopefully mineis bad so they can replace it and then in a fw months when i put a header on it the bolts will be nice and easy to get off....... ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #7 July 7, 2005 Impact wrench? Come on, you cheated. You should cheat with a 1/2" breaker bar and a 8' pipe. While you were their playing with shocks, you didn't actually give that Range Rover some ground clearance with a decent lift kit, did ya?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Deuce 1 #8 July 7, 2005 Dude, we used a cheater bar too. I hate to admit it, but the standard issue articulation on a Rover is exteme. Really extreme. When you jack up the wheel to take it off (not the axle) chock the frame and then drop the axle the damn rotor just about touches the ground. My Dakota is WAAAAAAY faster and I like it way better, but that Rover is a capable wheeler. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could build a pretty serious trail rig that'll do more for as much money as those Range Rovers cost though.Range Rovers are definately nice though.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Deuce 1 #10 July 8, 2005 Holmes, my brother paid like $3500 for that Rover. I don't know about the motor, but the running gear is worth that much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #11 July 8, 2005 QuoteI don't know about the motor, but the running gear is worth that much. Hell, there's a handful of sensors and electronic do-dads for the engine/tranny that are worth that much! Talk about a steal on the price! He could part it out and most likely damned near triple his purchase price (if not more).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Deuce 1 #13 July 8, 2005 Ah, Shanonnonnononoonaananananan, my lovely, my computer won't let me watch whatever wierd video you want to hypnotize me with. I'm really familiar with the homoerotic British thing though, and Ben and I both laughed rather uproariously when after straining Titanically to break a bolt loose on the port rear wheel we both crashed back onto the garage floor. It's very funny unless somebody suggests a shower and rub down. I offered some very caustic degreaser. It was quite funny though. I worry about Ben, though. Later, at an appropriate Irish pub, he ordered Stella. Poofter. I had Guiness and Gareth had Bass if I remember correctly. (We represented the international symbol for hammered that night, eh?)
