Your work list

here is a pic of it

Just can't beat it for the price.. Do we know for sure if they have one for us d1 guys?

I get to take my reck in for an alignment and take the shaft to be looked at. Going to be an expensive day I'd imagine.

Good luck with the xyz!

here is their D1 bumper http://britpart.com/Accessory-Catalogue.aspx?AccRef=2919
you can call Eric Riston at AB he is extension 231. tell him you are with NELRC and he will email you a price quote after he checks the exchange rate.

The only thing I dont like about it is that it doesnt offer quarter panel protection... I am not even close to ready to get my rear bumper yet though.. I need to figure out what front bumper I want permanently before I decide which rear to go with.

im probably going to plasma cut the rear quarters along with the bumper to get the clearance. gas tank skid along with the hitch are much lower so they should protect enough for my taste. i would like to put in an aftermarket skid but i want one that is wider than most i have seen for sale.

Ed, do you have to reuse the factory end caps with that bumper?

yes. they sit right on top of the bumper. at least i know they are not going anywhere now!

Bumper looks great Ed. Do you think i could still get my step and trailer hitch back in there or are they done for? I agree, for the price that's a great looking bumper. Thats my next priority since mine is basically hanging on by nylon straps.

I like my rear bumper just fine...

yes you can still use the step and hitch. I'm going to put my hitch back on. I had bent the bumper mount from slamming the stock bumper so hard into things so i need to bend it back before i can get the hitch on properly.

there is 2 ways. as brian does host it elsewhere, photobucket, picasa, webshots etc. and copy the public link and paste it in the pop up dialog box when you click the photo button in a reply.

OR

if the photo is on your computer you can click the photo button with the disk in front of it and upload it here and then copy that link and post it in the other photo dialog box.

What about this gas tank skid ed?

http://hlcfab.com/products.php go down to the rear bumpers. It doesnt look like you have to use their bumper for that one.

That's my guess too. I asked Denny to quote me a front bumper. Just shoot him an email

I have been trying the Picasa thing - no dice...

In picasa click the image only check box

So after installing the new lift my old OME shocks are stretched beyond their limit - especially the fronts. SO I am going to be picking up a set of Ranchos and mounting hardware from Denny at HLC Fab once I get my paycheck. Here's a pic of the flex when they were on his RRC. I know some people bash Ranchos but it's a good deal and the price is worth the mounting hardware it's self (Equipe front towers, rear shock mounts etc)







I am going to need some cones and front lower retainers... I'll need to figure out the brake line thing too.. lol It's never ending..

when did you buy a range rover

Jake I think I passed my gotta have everything cool on my truck disease lol.

My 3 link showed up today guess thats next on my to do list, I'm hopeing to get that done for ROTR Im just gonna need front cones or xsprings or something. I had the one front tire on the lift and I have about 5" now from spring to mount before my bushs bind. On a side note I would score 974 on RTI 23* ramp when I did the math, I'm curious to see what itll do with 3 link installed.

LOL I'm glad to hear that so no RTE and twin motor 8724?

I really want to help install that 3 link but I wont be around next weekend. Let me know when and I'll try to sneak over.

Ed - watch what you say I think Hannah wants a RRC. I like the color of Dennys but I guess he wheels it hard and it's got some trail rash.

Dale got back to me today RTE and twin motor 8274 still might happen Im just waiting on a few more pics. As far as 3 link i need to do some measurements to either go with heim joint arms or xeng setup like I have in the rear. So it mite be a couple weeks till I get that figured out. Im thinking the lift blocks are gonna come out during that process. Im getting old and that things a real pain to get in an out of plus it looks a little goofy till i get bigger tires.
