Loving this site
Hello everyone. My name is Rob and I’m from NYC. I joined this site a few months ago when I was looking for a new truck. I always liked the looked of RR’s and was doing some research to help me make up my mind on what to buy.
Long story short, I ended up with a 95 RRC LWB with about 95k miles on it. In the beginning I thought I had made a huge mistake with this truck. In the eight months that I've owed it, I've spent almost as much money fixing it as I did to own it. This last time (it’s in the shop right now, the EAS is down) I thought that was it. I'm selling the piece of crap.
Then I stumbled upon landroversonly.com again this morning, and it reminded me of why I bought a RR to begin with. After seeing all the pics on this site with this mod and that mod...running through miles of knee deep mud, rolling over boulders, climbing 75 degree steep hills, etc…
I WANT TO DO THAT!!
So, I'm keeping my LWB. My new years resolution will be to accomplish what I set out to do in the first place. I just ordered a repair/service manual. I’m pretty handy and I’m hoping to learn a lot more about how to work on my RR myself to cut some of the costs I’ve been incurring from the mechanic.
I haven’t heard back from the mechanic yet, but if it isn’t an easy fix I’m going to have the EAS removed. Does anyone have a ballpark figure of what that will run me? Is it possible to do myself without a lift?
