It was another hot Saturday in Central Oklahoma. The temperature made it to 102 F in Norman. Even with the temps as nasty as that we don’t stop work because we might get a little sticky and sweaty. We just turned on the fans and opened up the doors. The Evil German Dude had us[…]
Sorry for the post drought lately. I finally have a new job and haven’t had much time to do much of anything Land Rover. I ordered a CV joint and some other bits to sort out the axle problem that I referred to in Front Half Shaft Oil-Seal Failure. I thought they’d be in[…]
Over the past weekend I stopped at Lowe’s to pick up paint for my Coleman Stove Project which was part of my gearing up for S.C.A.R.R. When I came out this Discovery was sitting next to me. With the parking lot nearly empty parking directly next to me meant this guy must be an enthusiast. So[…]
Red Dirt Rovers, I’m kinda excited about this. Around two years ago Richard and I started talking about starting up a Central Oklahoma Land Rover Group. Turns out Richard reserved a URL and developed the totally kick-ass logo you see above. I’m sure like the other auto clubs we’ll have get togethers, trail rides, garage[…]
Finally I have a Garage Day! The weather is cooperating and my schedule is clear. I am asking no sympathy for my schedule I do it to myself. I took the Range Rover to Dibble, Oklahoma to watch my grand daughter play T-ball. I love the two lane highways in Oklahoma and this was an[…]

I was surprised to see how many of our trucks are white. It looked like an Extreme UNSCOM Convention[…]

There were a great many bits floating in the recovery bottle.The fluid is translucent now as opposed to the tea colored fluid we removed. There will be aright up[…]
December 3, 2002The Joys of Urban Living and Good Thing He was at the GarageGarage Day is Saturday. With that in mind Friday after Thanksgiving was a crummy day. I went out to the curb to return the trash cans to the side of the house and there on the ground was my right rear[…]
November 15, 2002 Garage Day is coming (see below). I will work on one of two projects at Garage Day. Either the “Great Brake Fluid Replacement” or the “Gosh, a light here would be really cool” project. The brake fluid swap is no big deal. Replace the brake fluid whoopee. But the light project is[…]
