Builds Project X

[1loudLX]

please let that be a photo chop or a joke of some kind...

Even though it should be, I'm not sure that it is... Looks like something they would do on "pimp my ride."...

I'm pretty sure the tubing that has lifted the body off the chassis is just for the show.

The 45 is by far the cooler truck for me, but the 110 has a pretty high cool factor for a 4 door. It has a 4.2 V8 built, cammed, and powdercoated. Built 4340 axles, air lockers, Engle fridge built in between the rear buckets, hotrod air, etc. I have my whole stimulus check in this one.

Do you have pictures of the display it was in?

It was a feature vehicle for ARB, but because of a late entry it was outside with the ICON, Adventure Trailers, etc.

Ah, so those were the display pictures. Why did you build a LR instead of an LC? Did ARB request it?

Just curious

Always wanted a 4 door Rover pickup and built what I thought I wanted. Now that its done, I figure I should sell it before I take it out and beat all the value out of it. Its cool, but way to nice to do to it what I want to do. ARB just came out with a new bumper for a Defender and they provided it with lights if it went to SEMA to show off the bumper. It does have ARB lockers, compressor, springs and such as well so it was a pretty good example for them. The 45 wont ever be replaced. I just wish it had room for kids.

Well, so get after it! With all the phenomenal craftsmanship that you put into your rigs, I can't think of a better man to make it happen!

Great looking Rover btw!

I think you're right. It's actually a really neat idea if that's the case... The only thing that makes me wonder is that looks like a TV screen on the front but perhaps that is a display tool also?

LOL!!! priceless!

I"m glad those checks helped stimulate someone's economy!

Nice Gary!

 

[CruisinFJ60]

I was gonna ask if you were gonna wheel it any or just keep it as a driver but you mostly answered that with the should sell it comment. What year is that one? I like it.

Gary built a Jeep for SEMA instead.....

YouTube - jeep dance

Just wow...

Today I learned that Jeeps are better with more lights than Coney Island.

 

[Waggoner5]

Started with a 63, but after a frame swap and body swap, its mostly an 07. Still titled as a 63 though. Great for emissions testing.

 

[CruisinFJ60]

sweet ride gary.

so... where are the camaro pictures?...

 

[Toyo Boyo]

OH. WOW!

I was in the Land Rover factory in Solihull about 2 years ago watching the LR's and RR's being built.

The panel work on your truck is far better than the 110's as they come off the production line, brand new.

Simply awesome work, we're not worthy lol
