Looking for 60s / 70s Land Rover (series I, II, or III) primarily. Project or running. Willing to consider any condition as I am looking to rebuild and restore one.

 

Might also consider Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 (or maybe even a pre 88 FJ60) if right vehicle.

 

[email protected] if anybody needs to get in touch or PM me here.

 

Thanks guys!

Don't have any for sale by i used to work at a Land Rover dealer in Miami, they guy imports Series I, II and III from England, you can give him a call to see if he has any for sale, Hi's name is Lenny and the phone number is 305-754-8800, haven't talked to him in years I don't know if he's still in business.

 

his website roversland.com, another website you can check to look for used LR is landroverexchange.com and for aftermarket parts check roversnorth.com and the biggest place to get parts and they have pretty much everything you need is Atlantic British, website is roverparst.com.

 

they very simple and strong vehicles, the electrical wiring is the weak link on this cars and most Land Rovers..they have no insulation and the wires become stiff and cause all kind of electric problems.

 

if you have any question I will be glad to help you.

Thanks for the lead. I've had a bit of British car experience. Good old British wiring! I've replaced a couple of wiring harnesses in vintage Jaguars and that would be the first thing done once the body is completely disassembled. I want to do an "every nut and bolt" build up. Mechanically, the Rovers are tanks.

no problem, and yes, mechanically those rovers are practically indestructible and a lot of fun off roading. when Land Rover commercials used to say the best 4x4 by far they were talking about the old Series not the fancy new ones.

 

good luck with your project and get some pics as you go along.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
