robhybrid Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I was looking back over some previous messages and thought this deserved to be a topic in its own right. And lets face it, What parts on our landrovers arn't being used above and beyond what they were designed for? Interior mirror ? Some of mine Series front grill used for a beach barbque? Series used to tow a fully laiden fire engine? Std 90 cv joints used to drive 35" simex? Std RR 10 spline half shafts used to drive 35" simex?
