Hi I'm based in Anglesey and would like to know if there's any clubs or groups who green lane in my area? Any info would be great as I'm just getting my defender ready to use properly off road ;-)

Hi I've bought some upgraded suspension bits and decided to remove axles one by one and clean and paint...what's best way to achieve this at home. I have 3 ton trolley jack and some 6 ton axle stands. Would I jack up rear then put stands on chassis and remove jack? Or is there another way if...

Super duper many thanks ;-)

Hi I have a landrover defender 1994 and am a newbie but learning fast ;-) I want to change my suspension to minimum +2" lift (as I already stated in another thread). I just bought a 3 ton trolley jack and two axle stands. What would be the correct and safe procedure to go about jacking and...

oh and i found the kit used on 'a 4x4 is born' ...hmm well if i win the lottery i may be tempted lol: Extreme 4x4 Ltd EXTREME KITS

Land Rover Defender Caster Correct Radius Arm Bushes x4 (Wide Later Type) | eBay

i noticed on ebay that its possible to buy caster correction bushes...this seems to be a relatively less expensive option...well a bit less expensive ;-]...any good?

Oh by the way who makes the extreme rear shock mount used by Mark Evans on 'a 4x4 is born' ? Any links to the product would be great ;-)

Cheers for the advice! I'm new to suspension fetteling as you can tell...I only thought HD springs as the vehicle will need to be road legal and safe...it will never be doing much more than local pottering about so I thought why not go the whole hog so to speak ;-)

Yeah I just bought 150mm extended brake lines to future proof. I was thinking of going down +2 turrets and +5 shocks with +2 hd springs at front so it's like +3 lift all round and use all same shocks...easier for spares . What you think of the Gwyn Lewis challenge kit for mounts etc? Also...

Thanks for your help and the photos are realy useful...do you have any of front setup? Cheers rob

Thanks for that info fella...I'm getting a far better understanding of how to sort parts. One more question: I actually have a set of castor corrected radius and trailing arms I bought off mate they are 6 degree which is why I thought about going down full challenge setup? I know wide angle...

Just out of curiosity and possibly looking to the future if I was to go down the challenge level of suspension would I need the +2" rear mounts and +2" front turrets to use with +5" lift kit? What grade springs should I get if I still wanted to use on road...would the vehicle still be road legal...

Would a 2" lift require me to get the extended bump stops fitted?

Thanks for the info...options galore then! So basically if I bought a terrafirma 2" lift kit I would buy standard replacement turrets to achieve a straight forward 2" lift( obviously checking brake lines long enough) . But if I wanted to lift using standard landrover shocks then I would use -2"...

Hi I have decided to re new my new/old defender lift kit. I'm going to do a 2" lift using one of the terrafirma kits. I've just waxoyld the chassis so am replacing all associated parts including mounts and hard wear . I need help as I'm confused about the -2 " or +2" front turrets??? What's the...

I'm gonna use as big a plate as will fit to dissipate the load . Might even put a plate on both sides !?

What size and thickness plate did you use for attaching?

Brilliant! Thanks for the info ;-)
