Subject: RUBICON 90'S From: rc@fourfold.ocunix.on.ca (Robin Craig) Date: Sun, 18 Sep 94 13:21:53 -0500 Was talking to an Brit Soldier in Alberta last night, he says that they took a number of Mil Spec 90's down to the Rubicon Trail and showed the Jeep fraternity how it is really done. Vehcile performed superbly and all had a ball. We should be seeing an article of this in LRO soon I understand.

Date: Sun, 18 Sep 1994 13:54:58 -0500 (CDT) From: David John Place <umplace@CC.UManitoba.CA> Subject: Re: RUBICON 90'S While sitting at my computer trying to think how I could modify my Ser II 88 for winter a thought came to mind as to why we Ser II people freeze in our vehicles. The fan can only pull air through that round hole with the screen on it that is in the passenger fender. Unlike American vehicles, this air is "fresh outside" air going into our cabs. If the outside air is -40 then the air across the heater core is -40. I'd bet it never gets above freezing before it is pumped into the interior space. Has anyone tried getting preheated interior air to re-circulate through the heater box so the temperature actually goes up each time it passes over the core? I am installing an auxiliary rear heater from a 1979 GMC VanDura Van in mine, and it looks and fits like a factory job. I am putting it on the wheel box just back of the drivers seat, and I will run the insulated hoses under the vehicle to the engine bay. I think it will really make a difference, especially since it will actually used the interior air instead of bringing in cold exterior air.

One of these 90's was at the Portland field meet, along with "Norman" the owner. Apparently, he is the 'crew chief' for a collection of over 150 Land Rovers stationed in Alberta. His blue diesel 90" was built from a 1988 90" and parts from 3 different 110's. He had pictures from the Rubicon trip, and needless to say, he is very proud of the LR perfomance compared to the Jeeps'. Beyond the stock military 90" features (2.5 normally aspirated diesel), it has a rear diff-lock and a complete new 'uprated' Rancho suspension (11" travel in front, 14" travel in rear). One of his favorite comments from the 'Jeepsters' was "It's not fair! That things a tractor..." A 2nd 90" also went on the trip, and encountered only a 'little' trouble - mainly attributed to the lack of a rear diff lock (a fairly stock vehicle all around). I'm looking forward to the article. Norman's quite a character, and a wealth of Land Rover knowledge.
