    Landrover defender td5 ‘the incredible bulk’

    It’s been a few weeks because I’ve been waiting on parts to arrive from craddocks. Today I’ve had chance to fit some 30mm spacers and get around to installing the exmoor trim carpets. The carpets are good quality, but there’s has been a few issues. I think exmoor have tried saving some cash in...

    Know I’ve been slacking in the upload department just been under a lot of pressure and there has a lot of waiting around for deliveries, still waiting on a lot.

    Landrover defender td5 ‘the incredible bulk’

    Thanks for kind comments boys, just a quick update I’ve had chance to update the speakers today, pretty simple and quick job but well worth it, still think the truck would benefit from some kind of sub but we will see when the new carpets are fitted.

    Landrover defender td5 ‘the incredible bulk’

    I essentially did most of the work on evenings last week but for the paint I sprayed in the shade then moved the motor into the sun for it to bake, it meant that it dried out thoroughly, when applying the lacquer I did that when it was still a little tacky to ensure good adherence in shade...

I used 120 grit...

    Landrover defender td5 ‘the incredible bulk’

    Small update I’ve had chance to strip the old rubber matting and have now laid sound deadening insulation, it’s a little costly but even without new carpeting it feels and sounds a lot quieter in the cab. Five weeks turn around for exmoor trim with carpets, has anyone got any other...

    Not quite like that just really not a fan of the cheap plastics, I’ve purchased series headlight surrounds and a new metal grill they are going to be painted a satin black matching the roof and Bonnet scoops that I’m buying for it. I’ve decided to get something laser cut to fit the hole as I...

    Landy security

    I'm also worried about people coming along and picking it up and putting it on tow trailer but I guess there's no protecting from that haha. I currently have a hidden fuel cut off switch but want to install an alarm, I'm unsure on how to wire this to the old loom, might have to look at having it...

    Landy security

    I have a 1989 90 I'm wondering what security similar vehicles run, putting a new chassis and v8 engine in so its going to be more desirable to thieves. Thank you in advance.

    Chassis and engine advice

    Thank you, I've found a reconditioned one out of a stag on eBay, I'm a little skeptical about buying an engine and not seeing it run first however that's a risk I think I'm going to take, by the pictures it looks like a decent engine going to have a friend who's a specialist look at it before I...
