I've had a few friends register trailers in PA, and it can be a real pain without a registration. One guy built one of those aluminum Yakima trailers, and the State rode him hard until he made changes to it. With a bill of sale, maybe you can simply get it inspected and registered if...

There's something about how AI renders those human faces that's just a little disturbing.

Still looking for 3.54 gearing for a rear Salisbury axle. I could take the entire axle if necessary, but I only need the guts. Thanks.

Working on these trucks is never dull. They are many other things but never lacking in surprises.

Simple is a relative thing, but having just done this, yes it’s about that straightforward. A few tips I recommend, depending on the videos you’ve watched. 1. Bleed the master on the bench. Choose your style, but I use a syringe to push fluid back up from the bottom. 2. Install master and...

Defender part. I'm installing power steering in a RHD 109, so I'm using a Defender steering system. I should have added it needs to be 48 spline.

Any chance someone has a spare laying around you'd be willing to part with? It's the missing link I need to finish the steering portion of my 109. No wheel needed. Thanks.

Thanks so much for making it an easy pick-up. Definitely worth the drive!

That makes me miss our 240 wagon. Sweet rides!

I'm looking at the possibility of re-gearing my 109 build, so does anyone have a lead on a 3.54 ring and pinion as the title indicates? The carrier isn't necessary but I would likely take it if available. No hurry on this as it's only a "barely" rolling chassis right now. Thanks. Greg

Nothing fancy on the bulbs. I think I got something from Autozone that fit, no need to spend big $. The leds preserve the tape; the wrong incandescent bulbs bake them, which is what I (and maybe you) had.

This is what I did on my D1: https://safariheritageparts.com/product/land-rover-defender-discovery-i-automatic-shift-indicator-tape-pair-from-btr9926lnf_at/ Simple yet satisfying. With LED bulbs, it looks brand new and readable.

I have a set of those Nilight clamps (or at least something that looks exactly the same), and the inner threads stripped out fairly quickly. They're nice, but they never gave me a bombproof feeling despite being really solid aluminum.

That's awesome! Where did you find it?
