Freelander Mods

Had my freelander just over a year now and been picking up bits and bobs for it along the way, thought I would share some photos and would be interested to see what people have done to there's,

Expedition roof rack (£100 eBay)


Walnut steering wheel (£33 eBay)


Walnut dash kit (£50 eBay)


Walnut handbrake grip (£20 eBay)


Dog guard (£28 eBay)


Boot liner with custom made dog bed (liner £40 eBay bed free!)


Black landrover badges all round and new number plates and surrounds (£35 eBay)




Just bought this nudge bar (£40 eBay) and stripped all the plastic coating off it, sorted the rust spots and should be getting it painted next week then im going to start putting some lights on the old girl, and of course a custom box for my hair straighteners before any one else mentions it.

nice.

sod paying the extra fuel consumption from that roof rack ! lol

It only goes on when needed!

good stuff

Nice Mods.
What Nudge bar did you buy and how easy did you find it removing the bumper and fitting it all.
I;ve got one to fit too.

Looking good. I have thought about some of those black badges for mine.

I'm inspired, love the walnut, I fitted a leather gear-lever gaiter from ebay, didn't have any clips on it so it's a floppy fit but looks ok.

This is the nudge bar now it's been stripped back to metal

Anyway I'm working away in a yard today, I'm a commercial fitter by the way, and I see this guy walking over to the bin and dumping a box in there, think nothing of it, finish my work, get in my van and it stinks of cheeseburgers, I had been on a maccy d's lunch break, so I get all the discarded wrappers and the half drunk paper cup of coke and drive over to the bin, open the lid and find the hail if the year I think! Pull the box out drive over to see the guy who hap just dumped it. "Do you want these mate?" I ask, "na have em there ****ed" This guy says. Here is what I found........



The lens is cracked on 1......


And the wiring is shot to **** but the girlfriends dad is a retired electrical engineer and is coming over Wednesday to rewire them and fit H3 12volt bulbs, could not resist a test fit, probably only need 3!

The roof-rack has similar styling to the sort of 1970s ones. Very nice indeed:

It's a genuine landrover one, expedition I think, I have to say it looks better fitted to a 3 door than a 5 door like mine, when I get a welder I'm going to make one I reckon

Love the dog bed, need one for our Staffie.

If your Staffie's anything like ours, it'll have to be made of concrete, anything softer is seen as a chew.

How true, our 3rd Staffie in 25 years and they have all been little bu**ers but we loved them all.

Ive added a stainless exhaust system, which looks great, but sadly sounds faintly like boy raced Corsa or Saxo. But I'll live with it!!
Carbon fibre air filter system.
Also perspex headlight covers, and black rear lamp guards...
Soft top ready for the summer....
Now all i need to do is make it go round corners, and stop properly!!
Great fun.
Cheers, Russ

Just been out and drilled some holes for the spot lights, new looms arrive next week courtesy of the girlfriends dad, thought I would post a few pictures

.......... blimey! ya going Roo shooting with them??

Its was all looking good until you put those spots on, sorry but they look real **** and would do on any car.

You know what I'm actually thinking the same, there a bit big and a bit blue! Might have a rethink on the spot lights, got some other bits and bobs jerry can which I'm painting green,


And some heavy duty ratchet straps and a tow rope,


Any suggestions on spot lights are welcome.

Try on eBay mate, I got my 4 square ones for less than £35 delivered.

why not put two of the spots on the nudge /bull bar ???
