Description
Pristine 1980 Land Rover Series II Model 109.
Body was in perfect shape, interior was just re-done and other than the original inline 4 motor that had no
overdrive, my wife and I bought it in Oregon and drove it 2500 miles south down Coast Highway to California.
Thinking I was going to keep it 100% stock as most Rover fanatics would like to see it, I decided to go full
retro-mod on it.
We kept the all aluminum frame and the pristine body in tack, everything else in the undercarriage and drive-train
had to go.
I wanted this to be a reliable vehicle that one could find parts for it anywhere in the country at your local auto
parts store.
We put in a trusty create GM Performance 5.3L V8 engine (not a junk yard re-build, a brand new motor), turbo 400
transmission hooked to an Atlas 2-speed transmission.
3 link custom long arm suspension in the front and 4 link custom long arm suspension in the rear all controlled by
Fox 2.0 Remote reservoir coil over shocks with adjustable bump stops.
Dana 44 axles were swapped in that have 4.10 gearing, electronic lockers, high performance axles and all gusseted
to ensure there are no bends or breaks out on the trails.
Sway bars front and rear keep this top heavy vehicle in check both on the road as well as off, and the stout
hydraulic steering assist from PSC turns the Falken Wildpeak A/T 35x12.50r17 tires
(wrapped on the AEV matte black wheels) with ease. JE Reel custom drive shafts, custom skid plates , custom engine
brace, custom oversized aluminum radiator, heavy duty AGM battery,
and a multitude of throughout the undercarriage finish out the engine and drive-train mods. The original gauges
indicate almost 50k on the vehicle, but all the modifications were done at 46,780.
So less than 4000 miles are on the wear and tear.
That "only 4k on the wear and tear" also includes the paint. A fresh "Triple Deep Black" paint from PPG was sprayed
