Thread: BCC & HRA!

Thanks, Gary, exactly what I meant. That saves me having to do a drawing.

That's the exact same as mine, the difference it that I have run ball valves to the alloy block (from the EAS block) and then teed and ran to the air springs from there.

Cheers
Keithy

I'd echo the call for the alloy hra bar, and a snorkel. Was that bar winch compatable?

Cargo barrier, rear bar, front diff slider (atp make a very good rear diff guard)

Maybe a 4 core triple flow radiator?

Good on you Dave, and all the best!

I had an early Hard Range alloy bar on my P38A for a while but it wasn't winch compatible. I sold it.

See Custom Range Rover Brush Bars from Australia

Cargo barrier - a good addition.

Killer feedback, love it and keep it coming.

Personally, I am really keen to see the original HRA EAS gear replicated pretty quickly. I think EAS Bypass and the valve block/compressor reco kits are straight up, "no brainers".

Beyond these, I believe that a low coolant and overtemp alarm (with both audible and visual alerts), a revised version of "On Board Air" and an "In Guard" Snorkel kit (Fantom's design) should be next off the blocks. I also like the snorkel design of Davidsonsm and would like to offer it but don't believe funding production of two versions will be very cost effective.

Then an under bonnet dual battery setup. Perhaps followed by an under (drivers) seat EAS kill switch (Fantom again), a BECM isolator switch and then an in cabin battery power isolator switch or some form of emergency power cut off should follow too?

As for exterior armour and protection, I'm a big fan of the Rock Rover style P38 gear. See pic's below. Essentially, slim line bars and big bash plates front and rear. Sliders that can be both jacked and winched off. And talking of winching... I don't know that everyone will agree, but I would really like to be able to winch from the front, rear and sides of my vehicle... and to also allow the winch to be anchored away from the vehicle and used (safely) at a reasonable distance from it. So the winch mount could end up being a cradle... which also means if you are around town (95% of most of our driving) you can improve your economy and leave it well serviced, safe and protected in the shed.

For a different look, I also fancy the xRox tube front bar with tube side and rear sliders as pictured.

Again, killer feedback, love it and keep it coming.

One problem with Stefan Lindgren's EAS shutoff (Range Rover P38 EAS modifications improvements and tips learned by experience by ownership.) is something Stefan himself noted - one needs to remind the EAS what setting it should be at when one starts the car, otherwise it will drop to access mode (ask me how I know).

(Hmm, it looks like the re-written page I did for Stefan with the mod. variations for GEMS models has disappeared and it's back to the old page.)

That's a great setup !

Any chance of getting a close look at how your steering guard is mounted? I have a guard but not the right brackets for the P38

Thanks
Steve

Steve, They aren't on my vehicle... just examples of the styles I like and would be aiming to produce with an Aussie "HRA flavour" added. Dave.
