He also built a very nice 100" Defender too.

Like!! Very Nice,

Where were the photos taken? Morocco & UK?

As you are in the UK talk to Gwyn Lewis, he knows his stuff. I have his challenge kit fitted although my 90 is set up for long range camping trips.

My front springs are OME 764 which give a good ...

I use an Oilsafe pump, makes the job easy & clean (ish)

Thanks. Its a cool area. I get a contract there a few times a year and often end up with the other Defenders on the ferry crossing. We wont mention the broken down Freelander just after the ticket...

I bought a little GoPro earlier this year as I felt I had a lot of lost photo opportunities when I am driving, been playing around with it and this is a first attempt at time lapse. I had just...

At least one overnight is my benchmark, there are a few more but I don't count inadvertant border crossings! Most was 22 in one year (I think).

Well, this brought back memories. I was there in 93 for a couple of months on a mountaineering trip. We got 3 guys to summit Sahama at 21,500" and I got to the top of Huayana Potosi at over 20,000....

Personally, I find it quite interesting to see what other marques have as a comparison to LRs, be it factory fit, aftermarket or even what the really talented home mechanics are coming up with. I...

Yep, Rob is right. torque was a bad word to use in my description. :oops:

Hey Rob,

I'm having a discussion, not an argument :D

I see where you are coming from and maybe the word "torque" was technically a bad description. perhaps "drive" would be better. I was just...

And engine RPM is above tickover, I forget the exact figure.

[/QUOTE]...and the more I spun the low rear wheel, the bigger the hole it dug in the dirt became, the truck tipped over more and more...

Assuming you are talking about a D1/D2, Defender, RRC & P38 LR then they have a full time 4 wheel drive system with 3 differentials, one on each axle and one in the transfer g/b. these need to be...

There you go Scott, fixed it for you ;-)

Interesting discussion guys, its always good to see how priorities differ depending on your part of the world. I have to say I quite like ETC (electronic...

This was a wee project that came and went last year, did think about keeping it as it had a galvanised chassis but in reality I wouldn't use it, too many already! I tidied it up and sadly let it go,...

Great thread guys, great photos!

Are you exporting to Canada or temporary import? we took our 90 on a trip round the US earlier this year. We shipped RoRo Southampton to California. vehicle has to be empty of personal gear if you do...

Surely even the most die hard purist would have to acknowledge the quality of this build! I am not normally a fan of this set up (maybe a result of seeing too many shoddy conversions here) but I do...

Good job Keith, interesting project. I am a big fan of the Td5 having had 3 so far (D2 & 2 90s) and covered over 100,000 trouble free miles in them. On our recent trip with BB I was getting 19mpg off...

Sounds like a great trip, we went in 2004 and we got a green card from our UK insurance company, maybe you should change companies. We were also told you could buy it at the border for about 50 euro...

Very nice, you must be well pleased with your progress.:bowdown:

Hi Troy,
Discovery and RR have a steel ladder chassis (frame) with aluminium alloy body panels on a steel frame. Defenders have a similar chassis and a steel bulkhead, the rest is alloy.They are not...

Ho, when I came by the shop I was trying not to look at your D2 but my eyes were just drawn to it.:bowdown: I couldn't help notice how comfy it looked. I bet you can have a conversation with your...
