Land Rover Project: Sexy Back: Love is in the Eye of the beholder.

I'll just leave this here. I'm about 95% done. Just need to tune the injection pump better and adjust the transmission linkage better.

Here are some sound clips. Enjoy.

Awesome, congrats!! What do you think about the power of the N/A 6.2? It'll be very interesting to see what kind of MPG you get after a few tanks of diesel.
 
The 6.2 is an interesting motor. Pretty good power. Has a great sound from the exhaust. Super easy to work on as well. The mileage seems good. But I'm not sure yet on what I'm getting. Still need to play with the timing and lift pump pressure.

All in all I like it. It's a totally different animal compared to a Cummins. But works great for what I want out of this Range Rover

I pulled a 10,000 lb boat to Powell with a Chev dually sporting that motor. It did pretty well and seemed like a work horse. It's not a 7.3 or a Cummins, but not bad.
 
I just got done building a new rear driveshaft. I killed the first one I built. This time I used a 2005 Ram Cummins front CV shaft as a starting point. I rebuilt it with new ujoint sat the top. And I just ordered a new one for the axle end. To fit my Range Rover flange.

I also bought a JB Covnersions CV flange for the back of my transfercase. It's already installed.

Then I took a trip down to SLC this afternoon for some 2.25" x .25 wall tubing to build the other side of my shaft.

With everything cleaned up. I measured 10 times and cut once. Then cooked it together.

Here she is. Still need to swap the front u joint when that shows up. And the. Clean and paint it.

I also installed my glow plug button a few days ago. Mounted it pretty clean in the dash. Where the old subwoofer control used to be.

Ok, I finally gave in and ordered a transfercase shifter kit and a transmission shifter kit. This stock stuff, just isn't working. Its always popping out of gear. I don't have the time to screw around with it anymore. I figured $400 worth of parts is better than spending hours trying to figure it out.
 
I have that same shifter for my rat rod. The only thing I dont like is no reverse lockout or back up lights.
I'll be searching the junkyard for something else.
Looks taller in your ride.

The transmission tunnel sits pretty high in this thing. It helps it have a pretty flat belly. Nothing sits below the frame other than suspension stuff.

The transmission shifter is a little tall, but oh well, lol. I'll live with it as long as I can grab all the gears.

Ok getting closer. I have all the shifter parts installed. I need to adjust the transfercase cable a bit more. But everything is working pretty good.

This is the transfercase bracket. It's working pretty good.

Just needs some fine adjustments.

This is the center console for now. I'm going to rebuild it using some of the stock parts. I just need to go get some fiberglass stuff so I can redo it.
