| Engine: | Stock V8 4.0L Gasoline |
| Suspension: | Stock |
| Exhaust: |
 Stock |
| Aspiration: |
Stock except K&N air filter and engine breathes through a
Safari
Snorkel (available through ARB).
This raises the intake more than 4 feet above stock location, out of
the wheel well and away from water and dust. |
| Gearbox Transfer Case | Stock Land Rover 4-speed
auto <nn> gearbox (<ratio>:1 low) with standard split transfer case (<ratio>:1 low).
Modified with the addition of a center diff lock enabling
kit. |
| Differentials: |
Front: Stock 3.73:1
 Rear:
3.73:1 with ARB air-activated
locking differential, installed by Man-A-Fre |
| Air: |
 Big
Red MK III 12V Air Compressor (available from Extreme
Outback Products) mounted under hood runs our ARB air-locker and
lets us air up the tires for on-pavement driving. Time to fill from
15 psi to 35 psi is about 2.5 minutes per tire. |
| Front bumper: |
 ARB
Deluxe Bullbar with mounted Superwinch X9 winch and sporting 100 watt
Lightforce driving lights (available from Extreme
Outback Products). |
| Rear bumper: |  Prototype custom bumper with side protection and swing-out tire carrier. Designed and built by Mike Francis at Rock-Solid Off Road. |
| Tires/Wheels: |
Six 31x10.5R15 Kumho Road-Venture Mud-terrain tires mounted on simple white steel rims. 2) Now using Hancook MT tires. Good traction in the mud, louder than the Kumho's onroad, sidewalls don't seem as strong as the Kumhos. All around, the Kumhos are better tires- and after nearly 30K miles in Central America, the Kumhos are still doing great on Bubba. |
| Roof Rack |
1) Steel Rack by Con-Fer, recently "FarmerJon
 Improved" to accomodate our Maggiolina
rooftop sleeper. 2) Second rack is now a Conferr rack that is narrower
and has a full-length expanded metal floor. Thanks to Brian Sullivan. |
| Electrical: |
Regulare starting battery running the stock electrical system and
a 2nd marine battery connected to a separate stock (Aisin) alternator.
Secondary system is routed through a fuse/relay box scrounged out
of a Jeep Cherokee which runs all of the aftermarket accessories.
|
| Cleaning: |  Glind Hot Water Shower Kit installed nicely under the hood lets us hook up two hoses and flip a switch for pressurized hot water. Great for cleaning ourselves, but also for clothes-washing water or cleaning off a filthy windshield. |
| Interior: |
 We added a grab handle via an online friend, think it came out of a Montero. Color works great, the fit is good, but not perfect, tends to waggle loose every few months. Still, an excellent improvement for passenger comfort and safety, also a good place to dry out wet bathing suits. |
| Storage: |
 Custom wooden roll-out drawer in the bed. Based on some designs by Jim Brantley, holds all manner of gear with a lock. Adds some weight to the truck but the security and organization is worth it. |
