I completely dismantled the 90 (which is strewn about the garage now). Sold off almost everything I did not need (to the tune of about $10,000). The TDi is on the way over from the UK, and the crawler box will be ordered in the next few days (although may not be here before Nat. Rally).

I just ordered some custom springs from Rovertym. Going with 220 lbs/inch fronts at 5" lift over stock (like long OME 764's), and 250 lbs/inch rears with same 5" over stock (slightly lighter duty than OME 755's but longer). I will give some feedback when they get in and on the truck, which is just a rolling chassis waiting for the TDi right now. Also going with some Bilstein 7100 remotes (12" travel front and rear) with the heaviest valving (I think 360/80's).

Later,

Blister

Bill,

I like your 'shop uniform' man!

Looks like it's time to start the re-assembly! Better hurry, Moab is coming soon!

Glad to see you making progress. Probablynot as much as you are glad to see you making progress tho!

FWIW this is the exact set up in 3in that I have on my RR and I have been very happy with it.

I am still thinking about trying the SP1/2 set up on the disco but I have not yet been motivated enough to do it.

That grease monkey in the matching blue work tux in the background looks like the bush-mechanic from the Gods Must be Crazy - more Irish than bush though. :beer:
