While the rear axle is out I picked up a new rear hose, made some brakes pipes, and am in the process of painting the various brackets. 
It all went down hill when for some reason I decided to remove the rear shackles from the frame mounts.
Needless to say Im 1/4 of the way in on the rear frame bushings.
Chewed the rubber out of one and have to grab the air hammer tomorrow.... Hopefully these won't hold me up.

This wasn't exactly the way I envisioned spending time with the truck...

Old bushings chewed and knocked out, new plolurathane ones to match the front installed...
shackles painted and new SOLID cover arrived.
Waiting on LR brake parts and a call on actual axle :-\

Picked up the axle yesterday afternoon and got it all settled in the truck last night..
little bit of bearing and race drama I was thankfully able to solve..
I guess the Brits shim this carrier on the bearing side of the race, not the cast iron side..
thankfully Timken makes both American and British "D60" races.. just took a little digging..

some exterior upgrades to keep it full of oil and hopefully leak free, included an updated pinion flange from a defender..
2 hrs. soup to nuts, including a quick on the lift run in...

yeah..  but frame isn't punky there at all..

I think I either need an M4 shock location redesign or to go back to some "stocker" gas shocks..

Finally got a jack permanently mounted in the rover.
baby hi-lift fit perfectly behind 2nd row, handle mounted out of load space.
Its just enough to do a roadside tore change..

doing some rear shock figuring tonight..
got some Jeep parts to throw at the rover suspension  :o

not a whole lot of room to relocate upper mount..
Driveshaft also a limiting factor since it passes through the chassis..

installed an anti mistake mechanism on the koenig...
now that the driveshaft is in, I have been cautious of walker byers that might have fiddled with the controls.

I need an education on shocks.. 
or these guys help... http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2016/11/i-dont-think-ive-ever-seen-shadetree.html

driving around for the last couple weeks minus one rear.. some wheel hop and vibration at WOT, but were dealing with >100 HP here..

The rear of the rover is limited in articulation due to the DS passing through the frame..
I'm ok with that.. were not flexing to impress the ladies here.

With the truck stationary I have a measurement of 19" between shock mount points.
I have been having a hard time finding a shock that satisfies the compression and extension that I want.
where do I sacrifice?  or do I just need to spend more time on bump stops and limit straps?
