Thanks you guys. That is helpful. I am in Thailand and tracking the Serial number off the frame has helped little except to put me in a 5 year window. Tags say 1969...the mechanics are telling me its a IIA mostly because of the windscreen brakets. Any other comments or adders welcome. Thanks...

Someone told me that plastic grills were a Series III only item...as was the rounded hood. Thanks

Does anyone now of a company who makes limited slips for the Series Land Rovers...I love the design of the Detroit TruTrac because it contains no clutches to wear out, but they only offer later Land Rover units. Thanks

I have my gear box apart and want to know if there is a proper way of determining if the bearings need to be replaced or not. Sight inspection is only good for visual deterioration, lesser forms? Or does everyone just simply put all new bearings in?? What is an approx. price for a complete set...

My question is, can I remove the double top on my roof without having the nuts drop onto the back side of my soft bonnet on the interior of my truck? The flat head screw tops are accessible from the top with washers and rubber washers but are the nuts "fixed" to the inside main roof? or do I...
