Made these today, a few pictures of how they were made Removed sills and used them as a template, drew round them on 40 x 80 box section to get the length and the radius at the ends Decided that I wanted the ends of the sliders to taper back in towards the wheel arch...

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had this problem with the diff lock - I noticed today that when the lever is in high and diff lock off, if I push the lever over to the left it goes straight into diff lock, without going forward a bit into neutral then left and then back into diff lock as it...

What's about the biggest tyres I can fit on a 90 with no lift on suspension that won't give any problems, height, width and so on. Also wheel offsets? if I get new wheels. Any pictures to give an idea how they might look, Thanks.

Hi folks, just curious about a pair of series doors I've got here, they are fitted to a defender I bought earlier this year and they need to go! I have so far managed to get a good defender n/side door, almost new actually, although it's just a bare door, no handles,glass,trim and so on. Having...

JUST A FEW PICTURES FOR ANYONE THATS INTERESTED, THIS STARTED OUT AS A SMALL HOLE AND HAS TURNED INTO A WINTER PROJECT! THE PILE OF RUST WAS A PASSENGER SIDE OUTRIGGER AT ONE TIME, THE NEW OUTRIGGER WAS FABRICATED FROM 3MM STEEL, NOT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT THAN BUYING A READY MADE AND FITTING...

Hi there, just wondering if anyone has any good tips for keeping the landy chassis from rusting away below me, I have just fitted a new rear crossmember and a front outrigger to my 90 and was going to give it a coat of waxoil, heard somewhere that mixing waxoil with a bit of spent oil is better...

Hi, just wondering about my 90 2.5td, it gets a bit hot when towing although its not to severe if I nurse it along a bit, not sure if it could do with an electric fan instead of the viscose fan or what? Rad is good, waterpump is ok, any suggestions?
