Cal,
There are alot of rovers on the road that are just for show. Have you joined
http://www.roav.org/ if not I would, and go to some of the meets and you will find there are lots of us around. I have been fishing for both crappy and walleye I prefer the walleye, but have recently been doing alot of deep sea fishing. What kind of renovations are you doing to your disco?
I've swapped out the stock 255x65x16 tires for five (5) 245x75x16's
I changed engine oil and filter
I intend to change all drivetrain fluids
I'm about to replace the front brake pads and rotors for inspection
I also just received my orders for spark plugs and plug wires, air filter, auto trans filter and gasket kit, serpentine belt, and thermostat.
I'll change coolant when I do the T-stat
I need to check my powe steering pump out. It leaks a little.
And just this past week, my turnsignals have decided to work when they feel like it (maybe a loose wire or bulb). Gotta check that out this weekend.
Essentially just routine maintenance that may or may not have been performed by the previous owner(s)
I can see now that this is gonna be a love / hate relationship like an old Harley - - - love to ride it when its working - - - hate to work on it so I can ride it!
