no prob lining the roof ... never suffered from a soggy mess as all the leaks are from the gutter / side join or lower... unless u have a sunroof in which case buy a wetsuit :) cheers steve

yeah id say no more than 80kg... two of us comfortably lifted n fitted mine with column, dash n heater in place but no screen and my helper was my 14 year old lad so not a struggle cheers steve

arghh no you've been chatting to those damn voices as well :) cheers steve

Well I had pretty much decided that the biggest tyres I could get away with were 40"........ but I just had to keep listening to those damn voices... so set off this morning with the intention of proving to myself that 46" tyres wouldn't work... however it backfired and I now think they may be...

don't use stonechip on the tub.... vibration will have it flaking off in six months its awful stuff cheers steve

thin cheap foam backed cord carpet from carpet right or such about £3 a metre and a can of evo stick.... get spray on as it goes a lot further than the paint on stuff... £30 all in or 15mm foam carpet underlay ... lightweight and plastic coating on both sides make it very easy to stick...

not strange at all... lower pressure more sidewall bulge... rubbing on radius arms... simply adjust the stop bolts cheers steve

seems roccias video is still on you tube lol Discovery wheel arch test - YouTube

plenty of arches out there... all depends on how much work u want to do..... my new toy has arches from another vehicle I dare not mention but are available from 6" wide right up to the 9" version I have fitted.... ideal as they mate quite well to comp rear corners..... fit the landy...

I can tell u exactly what they are..... the arches are the extra wide version made by a company called Roccia plastics who designed them a few years ago and sent me a free set for agreeing to be their photoshoot vehicle... they sold them via scorpion racing and as far as I know went belly up...

I've done mine from the bare chassis up incl chopping the chassis for a 3" lift.... I found the easiest way by far was to bolt the rear tub solid as the rear x member is pretty much a fixed point then work forward... tp get the door gaps looking their best I have shimmed the bulkhead... 2 penny...

I went for the Pioneer apradio.... cheap unit, excellent sound and docks with your iphone to allow you to use a range of apps on radio screen when docked..... only issue is that it has no cd etc it purely runs either as a radio or music on your docked device.... also has camera input for my rear...

I need these lol Panama Cigars - Carlos Fandango Wheels - YouTube cheers steve

brilliant lol :) must keep a link to that n use it :) cheers steve

well managed to get a few more jobs done today... mainly the flip front and arches.... however I must confess as i'm afraid my landy is almost a hybrid.... to my enduring shame I have fitted arches from an American offroad vehicle.... cant even bring myself to say the name... however I shall...

Well the more I drank last night the better my idea seemed so cracked on this morning after a strong coffee or two.... An 8ft tall defender was clearly going to cause issues when I needed to work on the engine so after 3 litres of frosty jack I decided on a flip front... Brackets made n welded...

I wasn't too worried about modding my seatbox so kept disco box standard .... means a box swop is easy if I ever need to... gearstick is in a much more natural place imho.... falls naturally to hand cheers steve

also managed to fit the rdx led numberplate lights..... cheers steve

checked over the recon turbo I picked up at the newbury sortout... removed the egr and cleaned up the threads...... shortened a couple of bzp to suit then afterwards fitted the blanking plate cut to length and fitted braided fuel hoses all round.... finished the galv...

not many m6's .... plenty of m8's (x30 or 40) m10's... yep... m12's a small number.. if u get a good local cash supplier buy a load.. always come in useful :) cheers steve
