bobtailrangie Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hi guys thought id put this up here, my new toy but theres bits i dont like + ill be changing Its a 72 bobtail which was what ive been after for a while but this was won on ebay for very much the right price, £837 Came with ramsey winch Salisbury rear axle Rear ARB locker + ARB compressor X-brake handbrake 265 special tracks 4" lift 2" bodylift Mot'd till feb few other bits but well well worth the money Rear tailgate has been removed + replaced with a flat sheet of chequer plate with spare wheel which I despise so a tailgate will be refitted + spare will come off + probably go inside Rear crossmember has been made with the centre of a series crossmember which is also horrible so ill be going along the lines of the d44 range rover with rear winch Front winvh bumber will come off as I have a nice scorpion 8274 bumper from years ago, an 8274 will end up in the front but for the time being there will be a lowline winch up front The 3.5 carb engine is lifeless + tired so im picking up a 4.0 serp from a p38 which will end up megasquirted when fitted There things like rear springs have no spring seats just clamped down to a flat plate on the axle, so ive ordered seats Trailing arms are standard so ive got some cranked ones to go on as well as some gwyn lewis challenge shock mounts, disc type spring retainers, upper spring relocators with hooks + +5.5 shocks All in all though im very happy, better get busy as im out in it on 21st :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobtailrangie Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Cheers guys, started on the gwyn lewis bits today, previous owner had made his own relocation cones which the right side was welded in + the left was bolted in + fitted from the top before the fuel tank wad fitted + it wouldnt fit through spring hanger All in all i got half as much done as i should have, this is the downside with buying something non standard, ill get some pics of tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
