Noooo!
don't ruin a lovely early 2-door - put stock wheels and tyres on it and ebay it in the UK for someone to restore then spend the money on a Ninety or similar.

How much work have you done to change it from stock besides the cut arches? I might be interested in buying it....PM me if you are interested in discussing...

Wow. Some cool rigs here.

I've got a '57 SWB with Toyota pickup running gear. It is equipped with a EFI 22RE, a short iron cased toy 5 spd, 5:1 t-case, factory Toyota electric lockers and longfield front axles. Other than that it is a sprung over Rover.

Some say it's sacrilege to cut up a rover. I say first, the only thing I really cut was the front fenders. Second, this truck was sitting in dirt and would have remained there until it rotted if I hadn't come along.

Thanks. I've done a bunch of upgrades since the article.

I dig your 109.

Toy-Roverlander · 05-09-2011, 01:50 PM

Thanks!
What are those upgrades you speak of?

jst1818s · 05-09-2011, 04:34 PM

The upgrades: Since the article was written I have installed a front locker as well as Longfield chromo axles. I removed the locking hubs from the front and installed drive plates from a FJ80. Th locking hubs would scrape on rocks and unlock themselves. I also installed a iron cased 5 speed trans from an early model Toyota pickup. It's about 5 inches shorter. Which means my 14" rear driveshaft grew to 19". No more wasting CVs in the rear shaft. I've also gone through the electronics and made it more "trail friendly". I was on the Rubicon one winter evening when it was record low temps (-25F) and the stock ignition switch failed after my passenger kicked it while getting in. It took us 45 minutes to diagnose it and another 10 to bypass it, while we were freezing to death. So some of the "Rover-ness" has been traded for reliability.

I love Rovers, at least the idea of Rovers. But I think I like Toyotas engineering more!!!

Toy-Roverlander · 05-11-2011, 10:25 PM

Good stuff! It's one cool Rover
