Good luck to Doug on the sale (not sure if he's on here)! We all keep & sell our cars for our reasons. I get where he's coming from. My 3yo loooves "his" Defender - he rides in the front (thanks to no airbag). Recently, he's seeing more Cybertrucks on our roads, and recently he proclaims the...

Recently, there are these larger portable dual compressors under names of Morrflate, MOAB-EZ Flate, NAPA Flate, Thor, etc. (likely all out of the same factory in China). They run about $300 range and has higher output than ARB twins. They are bigger and finding space to store them maybe harder...

this guy did a vid comparing arb twin OBA vs. with 1gal tank for airing up tires. He test showed the 1gal tank saved him 10sec for 1 tire (or ~40sec for all 4 tires) I know someone who use their slider as air tank...but I haven't done any comparison or seen it in action. I suspect unless the...

I have the mantec carrier and it also squeals like a stuck pig. I plan to pull the bolts out and grease them and tap for zerk fitting. If spare carrier squeaking all that’s going wrong with your defender, then you’re winning at life.

Something that will route/divert the ac vents for more direct airflow. I have my kid in the passenger side and bc his child seat seats pretty high, I've been thinking of making a duct that attaches to the AC vent (via magnets) and allows me to use attach sem-ridgid 1 or 2" tube to get the AC...

first year!

Both are new. 1) The ARB tire deflator is analog unit. It removes the schrader valve core to let air out of your big tires. $40 2) The ARB tire inflator is digital unit. It does the opposite of the deflator... helps you put air in tires. $60 Or take both for $90 + $10/shipping Located in...

i just this this couple wks back... i ordered the genuine Lucas part from Paddock Spares - was $42 + shipping. https://nas-row.com/index.php?threads/what-have-you-done-to-your-defender-today.4/page-89#post-65340

Too bad these are at the literal opposite corner of the country for me. :( Anyone know about how much to ship something like this to CA?

Replaced the wiper and turn signal stalks in the truck this past weekend. The wiper stalk broke bc my 3yo was playing with the stalk and broke the arm off the 25yo plastic. The turn signal arm got bent when I climb into the truck through the window after I tried to submarine the truck into a mud...

Nuts & bolts for all the tools you bought bc of this post. I think this is a pretty good deal considering I just paid $5 for one m8 bolt and 2 washers at ACE Hardware. LUPANTER 705 pcs Metric Bolt and Nut Set - M6/M8/M10/M12 Grade 8 Heavy Duty Hexagon Bolts and Nuts Assortment Kit with...

Good tool to have around the truck. This is not a bad Team Red deal... 3/8" ratchet with 5.0 batt for $119+tax at Northern Tool. It is non-fuel version, so lower torque... but does the job to quickly zip nuts on & off. Shipping should be free.

I agree it's appears to be a capacity problem - turning heater to full blast helps drop the engine temp by a ~3-4 degrees. The radiator is upgraded by adding another core last summer, so that's maxed out. What else, engine or besides pulling to side of road on really hot days?
