In my book real Landrovers are always green.
Yes it was good fun, I don't go in for off-roading much (not in my own vehicles anyway) but this was a good time, thankfully without causing any damage. My friend drowned his 300Tdi Disco and had to drain all water out of the engine.  2011 110 USW

If i were ever be in the position to buy a new one, that would be the colour scheme i would have, red next with a white roof and dark grey all over as third choice.
Lovely truck! A man with no boat is a prisoner |

I seem to remember the grille cover was from Paddocks or possibly Craddock but I think the former. I have had it over two years now so the memory fades...it does help take the edge off in very cold weather, but it is a bit basic, being only held on with zippy ties and the flap on the front does not close up very well. 2011 110 USW 1973 Series III 1-Ton 1972 Series III 1-Ton Cherrypicker 1969 IIA 1-Ton 1966 IIA 88" |

I refitted the winter grille cover yesterday, now that we are getting cold spells.

013A...Enjoyed your video..watched it all.
However, there is no way I'd be sitting behind a truck for as long as you did!!.. If ya did that on any Aussie road, the front of your vehicle would end up being very stone-chipped. I'd either have to drop back or get past!! Cheers, Pickles. |

We can get away with it on decent roads...thankfully never had too many stone chips. Glad you enjoyed the video. 2011 110 USW

At my service the other week they said I needed a couple of wiper blades so picked them up the other day to fit at home. Rear one and a front one perished. They came in blue bags...I should have known. One fell apart before I could even fit it. I eventually fitted a new one on the back after removing the spare wheel to allow the wiper arm to fold out enough to get the blades swapped. It is little details like this they should be addressing, not worrying about fitting 500 inch alloys on the new model. Would it be so difficult to have the wiper top mounted like they used to be in the 60s? 2011 110 USW
