Author Message   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Monday, December 16, 2002 - 10:12 am:    Is another (Wo)man's Treasure!! Thanks Enoch for the brush guard...it looks great! I'll post some pics soon. I do want to get the wiring set for the lights though, do you know where I could get that?! Thanks DiscoWeb for letting me meet great Land Rover enthusiasts and taking advantage of all the benefits relating...like buying other people's accessories!!   John Cinquegrana (Johnc) Posted on Monday, December 16, 2002 - 10:21 am:    Get the Hella wiring harness. Get it from a Jeeper catalog since they are cheaper than the Rover catalogs.   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Monday, December 16, 2002 - 10:22 am:    Thanks John, But they are "Rally (eye?)" brand lights. Does that matter?   Camille (Gwagenbabe) Posted on Monday, December 16, 2002 - 11:47 am:    No, it doesn't really, the hella harnesses are pretty beefy. *C   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Monday, December 16, 2002 - 01:18 pm:    Thanks C-I'm gonna look around and see what I find. I will, of course, need help figuring out how to rig it all up!   TPH (Snowman) Posted on Monday, December 16, 2002 - 02:44 pm:    Sus- Go here to get wired: http://catalog.com/susq/index.htm S-   KJ Posted on Monday, December 16, 2002 - 05:44 pm:    LOL, Sus! You DO make me laugh. Don't you think dressing up your truck is a LOT more fun than dressing up, well, just about anything else you can think of? I just bought something for my Rover today, but it's SUCH a chick thing, I'm not telling. Your brush guard will get more appreciative looks, so enjoy! Karen   Alan Yim (Alan) Posted on Monday, December 16, 2002 - 06:06 pm:    Do tell Karen. Or at least give us a hint.   KJ Posted on Monday, December 16, 2002 - 06:11 pm:    It's furry. Karen   Alan Yim (Alan) Posted on Monday, December 16, 2002 - 06:45 pm:    You bought furry dice??!!   Tom V (Cozmo) Posted on Monday, December 16, 2002 - 08:25 pm:    You bought a muff......I mean a radiator muff   KJ Posted on Monday, December 16, 2002 - 11:25 pm:    Nope, and NOPE! Karen   Alan Yim (Alan) Posted on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 12:08 am:    Ohhhhh, I think I know...you bought a steering wheel cover didn't you?   Kim S (Roverine) Posted on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 12:43 am:    Ummmmm, call me stupid, but, could it be .... seat covers??? (I have no imagination ) Kim   Kim S (Roverine) Posted on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 12:51 am:    Oh yeah ... Hey, Sus .. To address your origional post ... "one man's trash" ... Darn right about that ... When I got my new bumper, (on the "D2 family wagon", for whatever that is worth, LOL) I made sure that brushbar got a good home. Enjoy! Kim   Alan Yim (Alan) Posted on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 01:02 am:    That was my next guess. Dang Kim, you beat me to it.   KJ Posted on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 04:43 am:    OMG, it's ROVERINE! I was about to shout out to ya Kim, you'd been gone so long! Nope, neither seat covers (though that sounds good...), nor a wheel cover. Think: Mascot! LR sells one, but mine is MUCH better! Dead giveaway.... Now, someone ask why I'm up at 4 in the morning! Go ahead....ask! I'll tell ya. Because I'm a moron. I bought two fabulous old things off ebay, they both came today, and I'm dead allergic to them and have been coughing my fool head off all night. Damned ebay's gonna kill me.... Karen, coughcoughcough, hackhackhack.....   Tom V (Cozmo) Posted on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 06:02 am:    OOOOHHHHHH a talisman to ward off the gremlins that case Rovers to break down.....that should go in the best mod thread too   KJ Posted on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 09:45 am:    Tom, when I get a pic, maybe I'll post it over there! Karen   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 10:39 am:    DID YOU GET THE TEDDY BEAR?! LIVINGSTONE? No wheel covers...I have more faith in you than that!   E Snyder Posted on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 12:18 pm:    Sus- Glad to help out! It will look much better on your truck than in my basement. Combine it with the pre-trimmed bumper end caps,and you will be SET! Merry Christmas to all. Enoch PS- Those lights are K-Mart specials. Don't get too worried about them.   KJ Posted on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 12:58 pm:    Sus, you kinda busted me. Boys, close your eyes, this is girl-chat! It's not Livingstone, if that's the LR bear, it's a Steiff bear. In one of my other personas I collect antique German toys, mainly Steiff. I'd never leave a $$$$ Steiff antique bear in the truck, so I got a replica (dirt cheap) that's dressed in Safari garb, including pith helmet, to ride shotgun. This bear is based on an antique Steiff bear that has made several journeys to Africa. They've done a couple of books with real photos of Massai warriors and the like and this bear! I'm not one of those types that think teddy bears have tea parties while we sleep and that sort of thing, but when I look at something that was made 100 years ago, and wonder where it's been, well, I just think it's cool. I need a car mascot, at least until I get dogs again. Man, I miss my dogs! Meant to tell you how cute your dog was in the snow picture! Alright boys, you can look again.....cute chat is adjourned! Karen   Alan Yim (Alan) Posted on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 01:05 pm:    Are you going to get furry dice though??   KJ Posted on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 01:08 pm:    LOL! No, but I do have a few furry MICE, of the stuffed variety. The word furry always reminds me of a certain D-webber in AZ.....have I mentioned tomorrow is opening day for "The Two Towers"???? LOL! Karen   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 02:42 pm:    That's great Karen! I do like the LR bear...but I have a soft spot for Steiff! They have a Bernese Mountain Dog that I want soooo bad...although he's about $250! I've had mascots for all my cars, but none so far for the Rover. If you have a picture, send it on! I'd love to see him. PS. I agree. I've always loved stuffed animals, but the ones who have a little history have more character. That's how I feel about lots of things, namely houses and cars!   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 02:44 pm:    Enoch, It looks great and was so easy. We didn't put the end caps on yet, or remove the air dam, but I'll do that next time. If I could wire those lights, they would come in handy for now...but I will probably replace them with some Hellas. Thanks again! S   E Snyder Posted on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 - 03:19 pm:    Man, you all move fast! Glad it went on easily.
