Hi guys and gals, I finally got my video editing hat on and finished a load of things I’ve been working on. So the premise is to take a standard lr4, do all the required mechanical work to make it a reliable weekend warrior and have a great time with the family. Flip side is that if I need to...

Well here we go, first couple of vids for wrenchin n roverin. https://youtube.com/channel/UC1xiCZ1W2M3gixAwX7fpmYA

Wrenchin that Rover

Give me a little while and instructions will all be on “wrench’n’roverin” on YouTube

Just installed dual color fogs and led reverse lamps, getting rid of the original incandescent and halogen lamps. The fogs really need to be seen in person to appreciate the contrast between the white and yellow, perfect for inclement weather, and if I ever need to reverse down a trail :)

Growing the off-road chops

Well I can’t seriously say hand in heart that they’re a member, but if they aren’t they should be and can have my tags if they’re wheeling this bad boy. Gotta love LA

Ok guys n girls, opinions on the auxiliary lights, too much or just right? They’re a bit on the large side verging on vulgar but they’re growing in me.

The masochist in me says shred the tires, then I’ll have the excuse to get some at3’s the engineer in me says, you will have to change the first one then get a flat bed ride home.... So yep some easy stuff would be preferable. Although watching a scooby tow a rover would be instagrammage gold.

I’m always interested in getting out there for a run. Just say the word :)

Well look what just arrived. Now I need to get them installed. Would love to do a run Keith, I’m still on the stock Conti’s so nothing too taxing, although if I lose a sidewall then it’s an excuse to get some Toyo AT3’s that I have my eye on.

Hope the sliders live up to their name.

Love the look of the 100 series. It’s 100% unashamed Tonka toy. I’ve got some Kc’s going on the landy this week. Just need to work out using the home link garage door system and a slave relay to keep the interior looking clean.

It’s a Harbour Freight low profile long reach Daytona 3 t Works well enough at home and I’ve a bottle jack in the back as well, just in case.

Here she is, in her natural state, nose in the air slowly being de-soccer-mummified.
