Too Much Stuff - Land Rovers and Parts Everywhere

- Today we work on getting all our stuff back to the Ranch. Since we closed the shop last year we have had our parts, tools and vehicles scattered all over. It's been kind of a pain getting projects accomplished with that. So we move out of one building and make a new mess at the Ranch. We bust the 1 of 100 Kalahari Discovery out of storage as well.

- if your luck is like mine…. You’re gonna need those bar stool parts in a few months. LoL 🤣
Exactly why I’ve had them for 12 years haha. Never know. 🤣
Great to see you managing to consolidate all of your treasures into one or two shops, at least you just might be able to find the bits you need LOL. Mounting the V8 on the engine stand was totally not sketchy, much, 🫣 I was sat on the edge of my seat expecting to go horribly wrong, pleased to see it went without any major drama. Keep up the great work.😎👍
Yes, it will definitely make life much easier. I just need a little less stuff haha. Or more stuff put together.
I had the engine thing worked out in my head and it seemed like it would go fine. Haha.
@@LostCauseRanch Absolutely, pleased it came together in the end, an engine crane or the Bobcat might have been the safer option, just say 🤣👍
Yup I am collecting parts too, Don't know why but it happens. Kalahari would be sweet to have here at the house and I would even do the head gasket myself. not afraid to turn a wrench here and there lmao. Keep the bob kitty you never know when you might need it.
I have no doubt you could tackle the Kalahari. And it’s just too easy to collect stuff haha.
The bob kitty would be replaced. Either a tracked mini skid or back to a smaller Tractor loader backhoe like I had before now that the shop is up. It did serve its purpose though getting the shop together.
You always make my day.
Makes my day hearing that. Happy to have you following along in the mess of whatever I have going on here.
Callaway in the Nada? Or something else? Agreed on keeping the Bobcat for future reno work around the place.
Hmmm.
If the bobcat goes it will get replaces with another smaller TLB like I had before or a tracked mini skid that I can maneuver in the shop a little better.
The best mod I put on my similar trailer was a hand crank strap winch. I did have to cut the center upright out that was in line with the tongue but I needed an excuse to booger weld two to replace it. I'd be a lost cause without out it as much as I get lawn tractors to fix and sell.
That is a good idea, would have been helpful. As you probably noticed I need to add fenders yet to the little guy, I started building that trailer right around when I originally got all those barstool parts (12ish years ago) haha. So I might have to add a hand crank winch mount too it before I paint it maybe it’s about time to finally finish it haha.
Thanks!
Would be a dream to bring that Kalahari back to road worthy condition. I am a young gear-head and would love to get info on the Kalahari as a first Land Rover project. That body style is timeless!
I’m not 100% on selling it yet. But shoot me an email. Thelostcauseranch@gmail.com
I also have a rust free donor frame for it once I tear a parts one down.
Do not sell the bob kitty. Good lord those are worth their weight in gold. Do save that!!
As for the Calloway engine.. drop that in the 109 in the back of the shop and get it driving..
Keep the Kalahari and build another building ok the property! :-)
I like your line of thinking.
On the bob kitty. If it goes it will be replaced. I’d like something tracked I think. Maybe a mini. Who knows.
@@LostCauseRanch I am glad to come out from NY for a road trip and help. Your cause is a just one!
all landy owners have parts everywere i do lol
Haha, definitely feels like a prerequisite to have these things.
You going wheeling with stump jumpers this weekend? Down in Bernard. Im trying to clear the schedule to go! I think the LR4 could handle 75% of the trails there
I’m not sure. I may go along with Ted if he goes. That is a cool place.
I've got some room in the barn, you know, in case you need some space, in Texas.
I could always use some space. Maybe we could line up a trip down your way haha.
@@LostCauseRanch Just come down for Hill Country Rover Rally.
I need D2 bumper plastics, seat switches, and other stuff. Feel free to send anything my way lol.
The elusive clean bumper plastics. I may have some hood seat switches. In a few weeks I’m going to sort through what is staying and what is going to go.
OMG. so. Much. CRINGE! I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself or any parts in this episode. I sure did pucker more than once. 😲 It's a good thing the Supervisor didn't catch you breaking rules that OSHA hasn't even dreamed of yet. 🙃
I’m quite the operator don’t you think. I should probably stick to just working in the Land Rovers. Haha. Sasha probably realizes I’m a lost cause in that department.
I am a new subscriber to your channel. I have a 2005 LR3 HSE V8. What did you do to your engine and exhaust? It sounds great.
It has the center resonator and muffler removed and an x pipe in place. The LR3 and LR4 will sound slightly different with that done but the LR3 sounds great as well.

There is what was done to the exhaust on it.
Life of a LR fan. Would trade my wife and kids for a D1 manual center console.....lol
I may have one haha. But it’s around for a future swap. Or so I tell myself.
@@LostCauseRanch Really? Well, I just moved back to the States and picked up a manual D1 and sourcing a console is going to be a challenge.
If you change your mind, please let me know. Happy to $$. (LR_Discovery_Japan)
Im in central iowa and work at a shop that does euros. What are you wanting for the disco
Shoot me an email and we can talk. Not 100% on letting it go yet but you are at least a reasonable distance from me.
