Does this place still exist (yeah rightx)?" Enough of the network existed in the mid 80s, on paper anyway, that the powers that be on Lode lane decided to rebadge the Rover 800 as the Sterling to avoid any ex dealers coming out of the woodwork to claim a franchise, as well as because poor service and parts support had sullied the Rover name in the minds of the American public. I have a friend in Charleston who was one of the early dealers. He and his dad would go down to Jacksonville to get theirs. I'll ask Don next time I see himx Cheers!

Date: Sat, 30 Mar 1996 08:13:26 -0800 From: Michael Carradine <cs@crl.com> Subject: LROA Meeting 3/31/96 LROA Members, This Sunday's meeting, March 31, 1996 at 11 AM will be at Cole European, the Land Rover dealership at 2103 North Main Street in Walnut Creek. The plan is to rally there and move on to a coffee shop in the neighborhood or elsewhere, depending on the number of members that show. On the agenda is the offer and review of a Business Plan and the LROA Organizational Outline for the Bylaws. Both of these draft documents are on a Web page at http://www.crl.com/~cs/lroa.html for your review and comment. For various reasons, the Bylaws Committee has concluded that LROA nonprofit incorporation in Nevada is the most practical and expedient venue for the time being, and hopes that at least this portion of the Business Plan will be adopted. We hope to see you there, Michael Carradine VP pro tem LROA 510-988-0900 cs@crl.com ------------------------------[ <- Message 4 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960331 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Good points! So far the new officers have essentially been charged with the responsibilty of maintaining and reorganizing the new LROA. In several meetings the consensus was to direct the Bylaw Committee to incorporate the LROA and provide a structure for all members to participate in LROA activities. To expedite this and get the LROA back into the "LR's are fun" business, we recommend nonprofit Nevada incorporation at this time. To codify and improve the organizational structure of the existing LROA, a draft outline for Bylaws has been prepared based in part on the model of the California Association of 4-WD Clubs Inc. (CA4WD). CA4WD and LROA are associations of clubs with regional divisions. In short, the LROA draft Organizational Outline for Bylaws proposes that members form numerous local clubs, each having a minumum of 4 members. These clubs are then organized regionally to to hold rallies and events across the continent. We believe that members will have their most meaningful enjoyment of Land Rovers and comraderie at at the club and regional level, that's where all the fun is, while still being part of a great continental association with its many benefits. Taking the reorganization process step by step, the draft documents will initially be reviewed by the officers and local members, as well those on the net, and then put forward in the Aluminum Workhorse. Suggestions and comments will then be integrated into final Bylaws and voted on by the membership. The evolution and adoption of Bylaws is time consuming, and can proceed quite independently of incorporation. In the mean time, many of us are anxious to have our LROA involved in activities again, and for that we hope to incorporate now. Soon thereafter we hope to have Bylaws adopted and to test the election process by voting for regional and continental offices.

I started by building a safari rack that was equiped with a plywood floor. I used a nylon pup tent not unlike the one shown in the RN catalogue. I found it was just right for the size of plywood I ended up with. I would probably try to make something larger in the future. My friend had a GMC by Vantacy Van. It had a tent built in that was part of a roof that was hinged on one side and when folded out make an area about 8 feet square. It had two legs down to the ground but really didn't need them for sleeping. It just gave a feeling of some stability when you were up there. It went out by some kind of crank system. My unit has abut a 6" rise around the edge so you can't fall off the roof if you roll around.

From: howtaw@hg.uleth.ca Date: Sat, 30 Mar 1996 15:30:22 MST Subject: 2.25LD to 2.5LD Yes the bell housings will interchange but the 2.5L D injection pump will hang up on the passenger side (of a LHD) engine frame mount. The frame mount must be cut off and replaced with something that will fit the engine mount that comes with the 2.5L D. This also means that you will loose your batt and air cleaner stands, this must be taken into account. Batt could go under the seat, I'm not sure what others have done with the air cleaner. I guy out here in Calgary did this convertion last year and he was very pleased, I belive he said his lightwieght got around 25 miles to the gallon and could do 70m/h with this engine. Good Luck Clinton.

From: "Lee Zeltzer" <lzeltzer@isdnet.com> Subject: Lockers Date: Sat, 30 Mar 1996 19:19:15 -0700 Over the months I have seen a great deal of discussion about Air lockers on this list. Has anyone ver had experience with other types of lockers that are easier on the budget. I have heard some discussion of Detroit lockers; a full time lock on the rear and limited slip on the front end. Any experiences? ------------------------------[ <- Message 9 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960331 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
From: jpappa01@interserv.com Date: Sat, 30 Mar 1996 21:33:44 -0500 Subject: Re: Lockers Detroit Lockers are purely mechanical. They are quite positive and accomplish full lockup as the ARB units. Downside? Noisy. Especially around corners. Doesn't absolutely, fully disengage. More wear faster. Not that much cheaper than ARB if you factor in additional cost for True Trac type limited slip front axle unit. Not as much availability for LRs as ARB either. ------------------------------[ <- Message 10 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960331 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
