This is my 1993 Range Rover Classic LWB 4.2 V8 efi interior. Pictured above is '02 Cup holders (Huge), Safety Devices Roll Cage, Oil Pressure, Water temp, and Volt Autometer SportComp Gauges, ColorMap 3 GPS
Ritchie Compass, Relocated ECU and Relays/Fuses can be seen on the passenger side under dash. Footwell Maglight, Cobra WXST75 CB, Manual Seats, Kenwood 459 Radio,Rubber Floor Mats. Dual Battery manager and wireless radio remote behind the steering wheel which can't be seen in this picture. I was planning to install a Diesel Turbo in there but decided to wait a while before doing the conversion. for now I'll increase a bit of horsepower by switching to Kenlowe Electric fans. Pictures soon to come.

Here is a pic of the interior of the 93 LWB as of April '03 I added the roofline pockets from a discovery for extra map and binocular storage, also other small items.
Painted the rear speaker grills to match the ceiling color, this way it blends a little bit more with the ceiling.

OK, So I wanted a tough rear bumper, looked around and I finally found it. It's the Rovertym rear bumper for the classic. John even custom makes you one to your specs.. The only difference in this one is the added Jate rings on either side. I sent him the Jate Rings, he welded in a couple of brackets to hold them in tight. Looks Sweet!

Here is another view of the bumper. It has under panel sliders built in, has side rails to match the Rovertym extreme duty sliders I have on. I gave the bumper a coat of shiny black trim paint to have it match the ARB front bar a bit more. Also added the aluminum diamond plate to cover the gap from the Rovertym 1" lift I added. I think I'll do the sliders in semi shiny black next.

Here is a Hannibal tent on Del Rojas 1989 Range Rover Classic 4 door. This one is set up for rear ladder entrance but can just as easily be set up for front bullbar ladder attachment.
|
On the front I added a RoverAccessories Weld on Diff Guard, and a set of new thicker swivel seals. Behind the diff you can see the heavy duty Maxi Drive Track Rod, about 2 times the thickness of the OEM unit.
|
So I added a complete Aluminized Exhaust system from the sensors back, At first I went with only one large K&N muffler in the center, and clean out the back, But it was Way too loud, So I added this small rear muffler in the back, way up and out of the way of wayward rocks. The flange we installed for the rear tip is replaced by a long upward tip for deep water crossings with only 4 bolts.

So I'd been running 235/85/16 tires for quite a while and always wondered when I'd ever get to fitting a correct size spare inside the truck. Well I had heard that it took a sledge hammer and alot of forearm sweat to get it done. So in preparation for this, I had a small piece of steel fabricated to raise up the rear seat belt tensioner in the left side of the vehicle to make room for the much larger diameter tire. SO I got that done last year in San Antonio, where I also got my hood pins welded in. So last October while at the welders shop, I knew it was going to be a while and asked if he happen to have a short handled Sledge hammer, something in the 6-8 pound range. Sure enough he had a short 10 pound hammer. I removed the small spare, placed the full size spare and began to hammer away first at the back of the wheel well hump, then at the floor where it would actually sit.
|
So there was alot of picking up the tire, set it in the well, do a bit of measuring, hammer out some more, measure, hammer, measure, hammer.... Then when it finally almost fit, I decided to let some air out and sure enough when it was down to 30 psi, it fit snugly in.. I had to cut the tire cover a bit to fit on there, and I think I'll be having a custom one made at the local Car Upohlstery shop which will fit much better, maybe something thinner. But anyway it's in, Had to cut the side cover a bit to fit the wider footprint of the tire. But really is nice to have a full size spare. And I have another on the rack, so long expeditions aren't as scary with 2 spares.

Even your friends will appreciate the cool breeze under the shade of your new awning.

If you want to score some major points with the kids, get a Hannibal Tent. You can mount them to almost all types of Factory Roof racks or get a set of standard Thule Cross bars and mount it to that, that way it's removable easily with the help of a friend. The days of struggling on the ground with poles and stakes are over with Hannibal.
