Hello i came back, somewhat - Land Rovers Only

RageRover · 01-06-2008, 01:58 PM

Hey all,

I haven't been back online for awhile. I dunno if any of yall know, but the T-case in the Rover took a shit on me back awhile ago, and I had been forced to put the Rover into exile for a bit. i have talked to Funrover and i am still in the process of finding a T-case either the BW or the LT-230. I just haven't had that much time to do much with the truck, it now sits in my garage waiting to be torn down and ready for a new T-case. If I am to do the LT-230 all I need is the shifter assembly. I have the shorter front shaft and ready for a bolt on application. Otherwise all I need is the Borg Warner T-case.

I have been so busy at work, working more than 50 hours a week and bills and debts make it hard to save up for a T-case, but eventually I will get around to tearing the truck down and start looking for a case. My goal is to get the truck going as soon as spring hits that way I will have a summer with the truck.

Well that's what's going on with me out here in MI. Things are somewhat ok out here, I still work at Livonia Chrysler Jeep mostly as a UCD (Used Car Dept.) technician, inspecting and making various repairs to used cars and trucks. I don't hate the job at all, it is quite the opposite actually. The company is busy, which is good for me and the dealership. We may not sell as many cars as some of the surrounding Chrysler dealers, but we sure as hell service more than they do so working in the service dept. works out great.

I get a rare chance to get online and see what's up once in awhile, so I just thought I should post up and update why I have been MIA. Ciao guys! Be talking soon!

welcome back.

not sure what good it will do you in MI, but I seem to remember an LT-230 on denver's craig's list a week or two ago.

Thanks guys, I see a lot of T-Cases on Ebay these days, both BW and LT-230. In a few weekends I will be starting the tear down of the T-case and get it ready for a new one, and while I am at it, do some stuff I have been meaning to do to the truck before I stopped driving it.
