Thread: The ultimate RR Classic?

http://www.aulro.com/apc/showproduct...uct/5758/cat/4

in all honesty, and im trying to not be biased here, this rangie above ^ would have to be the best bang for buck starting point for a toy.

Chrysler V8's are much much stronger and reliable than the LR V8's, and the 727 torqueflites are also much stronger and more reliable than the ZF 4 speed autos in the later rangies. both are easy and cheap to source bits for if something breaks in the middle of nowhere.

now obviously it will drink like a fish, but that wasnt a requirement in the original post. and is easily fixed with upgraded intake and exhaust, or a gas system.

if im correct, it should have the vac locked LT230 transfer, which is the strongest LR transfer and not a POS viscous setup.

also it will have alot less electrics to play up than the later rangies. i havent been in one in years, but it should still be a nice thing to drive (especially when your used to defenders). and interiors are **** easy and inexpensive to replace compared to mechanicals/bodywork anyways.

so with the car above, its a case of replace the diffs with stronger units as they break, and add defender brakes, and it should be all win.

88 on would be the pick. I wanted the lse for the extra room as i'm nearly 6'5".

Huh? AFAIK all the extra room in an LSE is in the back seat.

For the person with the 2 door with a collapsed seat, you can get a new Pirelli base for (used to be) about $80 and it is easy DIY.

That is correct PhilipA - along with bigger back doors to suit.

That's correct, it means when his freakishly tall body has the seat all the way back, his children don't get crushed
