Maybe so, but I am smart enough to understand that fuel injection is more reliable than a carburetor.

Carbs must be more reliable since the thousands of carbureted Discovery owners in North America aren't posting about issues with them.

Some people just lack the brainpower to think out side the box. When faced with something they do not understand they immediately turn into a shit throwing ape.


Sound familiar?


the GEMS fuel system has not left me stranded in half a million miles across several years and several trucks.
Carburetors? half the god damn time I can't get the fucking thing to start.

its a fantastic EMS. It'll even do boost.

+1.
I can deal with a carb, but - by God, taking a Quadrajet apart on a trail is a handful. Even simpler stuff like Carter AFB/Edelbrock is a pain.

That's the last of me on here !

If I had a dollar every time i said that, I'd be very rich. I was busting balls with you. Personally if I were to put drop boxes on a disco I would just suck it up and get the tibus kit that literally bolts on. Yeah they're almost $20k but there's something to be said about just bolting some boxes on and not have to do one single thing to the suspension and run big boy rubber. Yes you need stronger drive line bits, but having an almost totally flat suspension sitting on 37's would save time setting up a proper suspension.


Or just buy a used buggy for $20k.

Either way, for me, I didn't get my truck the way it is to brag about passing jeeps on the trail.....I did it to go out and have fun. I could go wheeling with just a spotter and have a blast, sounds like you aren't in it for wheeling as much as making others feel inadequate on the trail. My favorite wheeling is with just one other truck so you can find the stupidest shit that takes half the day to get thru. I'm sure you enjoy that as well, but building what you're building to pass jeeps?

If you really want to pass jeeps on the trail, just politely ask them if you can get by. 9 times out of 10 any one on the trail will gladly let you pass. If they don't, then do what I do. Put it back in 4 high, lock the rear, and scare the living shit out of them, that works every time.

I think the ability to repair something with sticks and twine is being mistaken for actual reliability.

There's no substitute for fuel injection on a trail. Carburetors only become interesting under circumstances in which most people will never find themselves, and even then they are more likely to give you trouble.

The advantage is being able to rig and beat the things into operating condition with whatever junk you can scavenge when they become temperamental.

That's not reliability. It's increased serviceability in the bush.

That's of very little value on a trail full of trucks, each packed with enough junk to host a tailgate party, within hiking distance of a fucking Bed Bath and Beyond.:yawn:

Cheers,

Kennith

First of all Mango you’re an idiot i have to start with that, second of all your ego is bigger than the land rover community…
For the guy that says ho well it’s the way you react on here,well when people call you a motherfucker, gay Frenchman and call your truck a piece of shit when you been working on it for 4 years well I guess I should just say thank you and take it up the ass right ?
For Mongo even when you tell him he’s right like a posted several times even going has far has saying that I will make the changes that he suggested he’s still calling truck a piece of shit like a peroke well that says a lot of the individual.
He’s got no class whatsoever he goes on saying that my truck is a piece of shit that it has bump steer ect ect and he doesn’t even know I have full hydro ? tell you a lot about the guy.
Is the truck perfect ? No it isn’t and I have never insinuated that it was. What I do know is that I have been driving an offroad truck in hard trails for 15 years and that the truck performs just awesome. In three years of testing I broke a portal gear and that’s it. Nothing to do with bump steer or suspension design
Here’s a list of things that are all shit just for Mango so if you take the time to read it….
First he says that the roll cage is shit well its from safety device and they make roll cages for racing and the military so… its shit !
http://www.safetydevices.com/expedi...9-1998-5-door-post+1995+dash+change/255/1114/
then the carburetor I have I will kill myself with it because it will stall…. Well I never stall with it and watch the video and tell me its shit again..
http://www.holley.com/0-90470.asp
then I have a full hydro from PSC 2.75 inch shaft with custom skid plate never been done on portal axles on a discovery 1 anyways shit again…..
then I have all around RCV shafts and CV and portal gears all in 300M shit again
http://www.rcvperformance.com/categories-cv-axles.aspx?catID=RCVP_ULT_300M_CV_AXLES_ALT
I have customized the brakes with Vanco brake boosters the truck stops on a dime and lock all 4 wheels at 50mph shit again in the trail I just put my little toe on there and it fucken stops
http://www.vancopbs.com/category_s/66.htm
2 odyssey extreme series in tandem probably shit batteries hey mango ….
http://www.odysseybattery.com/extreme_batteries.aspx
I also have a power welder than can run 100% duty cycle with power shit again
http://premierpowerwelder.com/
Tire balls I bet you nobody has even seen those yet they use them in the KOH and even in there you can see that some guys are not even running them yet a game changer for them they say
But hey that’s shit too right ?
http://www.tireballs.com/
http://www.fourwheeler.com/product-reviews/1401-tireballs-great-balls-of-fire/
He also said my drive shaft was binding that’s why I had a High angle driveshaft well nothing is further than that the housing was rotated toward s the TC to alleviate the angles of the DS
If you look at the pictures a spacer was made to rotate the diff upwards instead of drilling holes in the flange now its like stock with no vibrations and in the trail it has a 45 degree capacity and its for a 1 ton truck so shit again !
http://www.highangledriveline.com/
The hydraulic winch Red winch make the best hydraulic winches in the world with aluminium aircraft materials 30 ton load bearings 9gallon per minute flow with 3200 psi
The pump runs off the TC
I run it with a 10 gallon tank custom made in the rear see pictures I have winched 4 trucks out of a trail for 12 hours without a hint of a problem without draining my batteries and toasting my Alternator the other trucks had all lost their winch because we hit a swamp 500 miles from home and had to get through it with added tank for cooling it never gets hot and can run for whatever length of time you need jeez what a piece of shit winch that is hey Mango ? That is your new name by the way not a typo.
http://www.red-winches.com/
Rear winch It’s a prorock98 Superwich 9,,800 l Tallon series it’s a competition winch with a smaller drum. Another piece of shit !
http://www.superwinch.com/p/rock-98-–-9-800-lbs-12v
For lockers I have a custom made spool in the rear first in the world has far has I know made from 300M from a guy that does racing application vehicles what a piece of shit that is !
In the front I have an original locker that went on the Volvo c303 and works like an arb with a pressure switch.
That was on the pictures if you did not notice….
http://www.franavehicles.com/diffsminispools.html
he even went on about the shit rhino lining that I had on there well its line –x
I guess line-x is a shit product also but that was written on the description of the pictures.I guess when you can’t read I can’t really blame the guy…..

I mentioned the jeeps to show that my truck was not a piece of shit in the trail I guess you can hang me for that.
for the Tibus were to you get parts for that in 10 years when he has gone under ? wait 6 months to get a gear ?
RCV makes gears,axles and cv joints in the old USA a lot more convenient ?
has for my set up I have no body lift and rovertym springs and the truck is stable has fuck when camber its a great set-up whatever you guys say. anyway I built to have fun and to keep up with jeeps not to be better around here im a loner there was no land rovers so I was wheeling with jeeps with big tires a kept breaking everything
so the real reason was to keep up and stop breaking shit. yes Discoweb is worse than a 5 $ hooker !

tibus will be around for a while.

rcv does make nice stuff, but ashcroft made them an offer that no other rover company could match. therefore ashcroft limits the options for an all rover truck. i prefered to build an all rover truck, which costs more sobeit...which has also put me in situations where i've had to wait very long for replacement parts.

rovertym is fine, i still have john and steve bumpers and sliders, but rovertym has changed hands more times than most rover companies....more times than tibus. so what happens when you need a rovertym bumper to replace the one you bent and ripped mounting tabs off?

fwiw, i have a pretty decent truck with flimsy rover bits but i still haven't broken anything on the trail. ive bent the living shit out of stuff and have gone thru 3 transfer cases, 3 engines, 2 transmissions, several thirds, BUT NEVER on the trail. these trucks can be set up with rover stuff and still have fun.























and you have frank all wrong. he is far from a redneck. he wears designer flip flops, loves frozen blender drinks, vegan mexican food, AND he has a non profit cat shelter.

I've always called my truck a piece of shit…Are we supposed to be impressed with your "incredible build" list? I'll feed your gay fucking ego:
I've had a Safety Devices hybrid roll cage in my truck since 2001
Your a moron to think that a carb is better than, or easier to work on than a 14cux, GEMS or Lucas fuel injected motor.
I'm running Longfield birfs/rear axles in custom RuffStuff Land Cruiser housings with 9.5" diffs front and rear (all 30 spline stuff). Hellfire hi steer knuckles and a PSC ram for steering and it's mounted to a Artec ram mount. The same shit lot's of guy's are running in KOH rigs (big fucking deal). I have ADS and Bilstien racing coilovers with Eibach springs with 37" Maxxis Creepy crawlers.
I've had hydro boost brakes for 4 years, I can lock my tires at 40, once again big fucking deal
Tire balls, seriously, I have been using balance beads forever, with and without bead locks
You have a over priced alternator. All you need to carry is some welding rod, jumper cables and with dual batteries can do a trail repair. The premier shit sucks ass.
Once again, buying the name, I have custom built driveshafts with 1350 cv's and I know for a fact I paid less than you did. If you had a fucking clue, you wouldn't need spacers or the high angle shit if your driveline wasn't a fucking joke. You have no flex in the suspension so why do you need a 45* cv?
Once again, Red winch, buying the name, big fucking deal and it shows that you are doing nothing more than building a mud truck.
So your running a spool in the rear. Hmm, so this truck really can't be driven on the road, can it? You really are a retard... I have a ARB/Detriot setup and can drive 70mph on the highway all day long.
As for Rovertym, I have the second front bumper ever made for a D2, and I bought it in 2002. My truck sits lower than a D2 on a 3" lift, so we are supposed to be impressed?

So if this such a AWESOME and EXTREME that is properly built, post it up over on Pirate and see what those guy think…but you won't because your too afraid to face the reality of how big of a fucking joke the build really is. Are you friends with Steve Young?
