The Rover-Landers of BC

Cool

So close now... Just setting up the transfercase then some linkages and she will be rolling along.

Engine bay cleaned up (almost) and pipes connected.

Looks great Mark, you will be ready for the long summer months of exciting mountain adventures and cozy camp outs 8)

I guess you will still need that extra fuel container though! :wink:

Should be able to get in the mid 20s unless I push the skinny pedal! Plus with the six speed transmission I have two overdrive gears...

Hey Mark,

How’s progress on the build? We going to see you on any trips this summer?

Hi Martin... Thanks for checking in.

So the engine is working like a top... having an issue with the transmission not shifting properly. I had the transmission rebuilt prior to installation. The truck was towed to the transmission shop yesterday. Sooo close. I will want to put miles on it before taking it into the bush. I know everyone that goes in comes out, but I don't want to have to rely on the club to deal with my mishugas.

Okay update... It was a setting on the controller... Shifting now... I've been driving it around for a couple of weeks... My new gauges are partially installed... The vnt mechanism for the turbo needs adjusting and after that the fuelling needs to be tweaked to the turbo.
Right now as long as I am slow and gentle on the throttle it behaves itself and a small puff of black smoke comes out the exhaust. If I really hit it then a massive black cloud comes pouring out. Very handy for tailgaters.

Getting close Mark, wont be long until you are playing in the mud again .... 8)
