Gateway drug for Rovers was an RRC that a MG shop owner friend had in Tokyo that I would borrow from time to time. Loved that thing. When I got out of the Air Force in 97 I purchased a 96 D1 and that was the start of it all. 6 in total now over the years as I tend to hold on to them for a while...

Man sorry to hear about the cancer. Just hope you have it done with. Glad to see you are back in the US now. I would hate to have to navigate the hospital system there in Japan. (Did it once at a hospital in Tachikawa. NOT FUN) Funny part is I am looking at move back that way in a few years...

I joined right after I got my 96 Disco in 97 but lurked for a long time before posting in 99. Yes i wish I had kept that one as well. I actually got back in touch with the old timer Nathan Crabtree last year. If you remember him, he ran Discount Rovers which later became discount british parts...

Good old Kenneth. Ran into him on a trip to the northern rim of the Grand Canyon back in 2003. Not what you expect in person with his online personality. Damn hard to believe I have been around here since 99.

I did mine in 2006. Still up there with no issues other than replacing broken zip ties from time to time.

The Lucky 8 ones are Wabco. I just installed a set on my D2.

Isn't the "Nathan" that you are referring to Nathan Crabtree from the old discount rover days? I am really surprised by this as I started dealing with him in 98 when I got my first D1. Now I have not talked to him in several years but this does surprise me after my previous dealings with him...

I can believe you are still driving the same truck from back in my Austin days. Glad you got it running.

I just moved to the Woodlands last year. I have not been able to find any local wheeling spots other then General Sams out east of Houston. That place from my understanding is mostly just a mud pit for the local jeeps. Austin has a few places like Hidden Falls and then towards Dallas there is...

Lloyd give Steve a call at RTE. When I was up there about 2 years ago picking up my rear bumper he had a slimline that he added the fog light mounts to for a customer. I really liked the looks of that one but already had purchased the ARB for the same reasons as you are looking for. He...

amazon had it with free shipping and a little better price. I like the size of it compared to the one I have now that I use with Torque. Already placed the order...

Thanks for the info on LR Houston. I do about 99% of my own work so I would only need them as back up for parts if Will, Justin, or Motorcars cannot get it for me. Yes i have a hard time trusting stealerships. =-) THe house I bought is in really good shape and it just needs some updates. I did...

Keep me posted if you decide to go. I am packing to move this weekend down to the Woodlands and I should be closing on a house there in mid April. That should be around the same time as SCARR so this will get interesting.

You could head up to SCARR this coming April and see if there is one in the raffle. From time to time someone will bring one along to the meet. I know there is a TJM for sale here in Dallas by one of the Texas Rover club members. www.texasrovers.com
