Haha! That’s fantastic! :D

Yes! I agree though I can’t take credit as it is my understanding that the very first Rover was actually built on an MB chassis back in ‘46 or ‘47 before they started production in ‘48!

I’m a...

Yes! I’m a big fan of original parts when they can be had!



I’ve already got grandiose dreams to build a “series 1 Land Rover” on a jeep chassis when I’m finished with this one, ha! It’s a...

Yes! I got some good stuff! Basically a complete disassembled motor with a cracked block. But it’s all the stuff I was missing to put the one together that I got the weekend before!

Plus I didn’t...

Thanks fellas! Be careful what you wish for as I’ve lots of questions!

Well the Jeep gods shined down upon me again yesterday and I dragged some more crap home…my wife was thrilled, ha!

Oh gotcha. My MB engine was apart (well the pistons/rods were out) when I got it. I did notice the rods were stamped but I just assumed whoever took it apart did that. Thanks again! Let me know when...

So I’m assuming then that there are different part numbers? Is there a way to tell which one is for which position without part numbers?

Ah! Such good info. I just discovered that odd rod thing last week looking at new rods in the KW catalogue. Had no idea the rods were different. I assume that is covered in one of the service...

Yes! A hot rod friend of mine contacted me recently and said he had pulled it out of his ‘49 wagon 7 or 8...

I picked up another L134 over the weekend. It’s almost complete but missing con rods and pistons. I may try to throw parts at it to get it going while my MB block is out for machine work. Can anyone...

I totally agree, ha!

I’ve been adding a few things here and there as time and money allow. I picked up some reproduction seat frames from C&C Equipment (MD Juan stuff I believe?) and a friend mentioned he had a...

Hey thanks for that! Very interesting article!

Thanks! I’m super excited about it! At this point I don’t plan on a full restoration (but that could change, ha!} I’d like to get it mechanically sound and use it around the farm with the occasional...

Thanks gents! Unfortunately the guy I got it from had no history on it. It had some 14” wheels and tires that looked like they were from the ‘60s. There is also a radio (AM) and antennae mount and it...

Just wanted to pop in and say hello and (try to?) post a picture of my latest project. After lusting after a military jeep since I was a wee lad I finally pulled the trigger on this one a couple...
