^^lift on the def looking good boi, up to what size tires are gonna be able to fit there, 32s??

there may be enough space for it but not too sure on that ..

32's will definitely fit....with a 4" lift i'm running 37's

[droppa]

37s with only a 4" lift? wow! do u have tub scrub probs? and can she flex like a bad thing...

if u dont have issues then that great.......

[Dada]

no issues D...none what so ever.....i was at 2" lift running 33's and then i went up.....2" body with 2" suspension rear and 3" suspension front to handle weight of engine....your front seems to dip because of the weight of the motor....




This is with 4" rear 5" front with motor/winch weight....level off that way....

we didnt do the correction its just 2 inches (no problems driving with it ) . anything over 2 and we will have to do it

your defender looks good . i hope you have a carrier for that huge spare wheel . that door can barely hold the standard size

[Dada]

Lol that is a re enforce door with re enforce hinges, no one can see it cause I install the inside apholstry.to hide it, everything on that rig was mostly fabricated, I'm hardly driving it these days, cause every time I drive it something new breaks, just replace the 2 dry shaft because 1 broke in the ever glades and had to creep home on the front axles, I had upgraded all the axles to 10 ton military axles when I had my arb air lockers install, also I just bought a tdv6 for it and contemplating when I will start the swap.....
I saw someone asking you how comfortable they are....they r not, its the most uncomfortable vehicle to drive, unless you remove the bulkhead behind the driver seats and replace it with the kit they r selling for it,

looking at your work you do pretty good work....thumbs up..keep up the great work...

[droppa]

pal u have invested a fortune in that rig man, it looks fully equipped, why are stuff still breaking on it? yuh over pushing it orrr?

[Dada]

well the rig is pretty old, and once something break i replace it with something better....and yes hoss, once you start playing with them thing it get costly.....after that engine swap i done spend....HOPEFULLY!!!!!

ok i still wouldnt like to have to pull that door with all that weight on it ."I'm hardly driving it these days, cause every time I drive it something new breaks" the joy of owning a Land Rover . TDV6 with the 6 speed gearbox in that will be very nice (would like to see that when its done ). we are currently doing a 90 with a TD5 . the defender is not the most comfortable vehicle out there but compared to the old series II and III they are way way better . ive seen the kit for the rear bulkhead ,i want to build a custom one .thanks for the compliment, we like what we do .

Anyone know where I can get a 300tdi oil sump pan? I'm seeing a repaired crack near the oil drain hole, not sure if to try and mig weld repair it or replace.

[525isport]

i have the sump pan $1,000 .pm me if you want it

[InDeForest]

I found one for $500. It seems to me the original may have cracked from the drain plug twisting from being overtightened, and had been repaired with steel epoxy :/ I obviously cracked that again changing oil this weekend.

[525isport]

no problem

[525isport]

well ive finally found time to stop driving it and take pics of the defender and post it up for sale viewtopic.php?f=55&t=428123
sad to see it go but this is what we do. we will finish the TD5 90 soon and keep it around for awhile

[droppa]
