    Adjustable Panhard Rod

    What options do I have for an adjustable panhard rod? I have this one. I think it may be a Britpart. Unfortunately, the shortest adjustable length is too long for my truck and the radius arm drags along one side of the frame. Need something a little shorter. I thought about cutting mine...

    Stub axle questions

    I have an old-style (front) stub axle that I think is FRC4320. It has a bronze bushing in it and behind that, there’s supposed to be an oil seal. Pulled my front end apart for something else and noticed mine have no oil seals, so I need to install them. I‘m struggling getting the bronze...

    RIP Ted

    Sad to hear that my former neighbor and friend Ted Morton passed away. Ted drowned in Alabama while saving his son (successfully) from a riptide. Ted drove a Defender 110 and lived down the block from me when I lived in Tacoma, WA. His daughter was a friend of my oldest son’s. He was a...

    Fullriver batteries

    Has anybody used Fullriver brand batteries? I'm looking for a pair of group 94R batteries for my other truck (Ram 2500) and I'm finding two choices: the Odyssey ODP-AGM94R and a Fullriver Full Throttle FT850-94R. If you know me, you know that I'm all about the Odyssey batteries but I should...

    ANR4636 wheels

    Looking for a set of five ANR4636 wheels (aka ANR4636PM). Ideally, I want five but if you only have 4, that's ok. Don't care about the paint condition so long as the steel is good. I'm on the East Coast.

    FS: Cooling System Parts, 300Tdi Turbo

    Allard oversized aluminum intercooler $220 Has some cosmetic rubbing damage on the corners where it briefly rubbed against my radiator frame. I trimmed the frame and then patched the worn spots with JB Weld. The rubbing never penetrated the aluminum tank, however, and it has held pressure...

    Welcome to the Write-ups, HOWTOs, and FAQs section

    This is a new section for technical write-ups/HOWTOs, reference threads, and FAQs. The huge block of sticky threads in the technical forums was pushing new discussions far down the list, so we've created this new home for those types of threads. This is not the place for general technical...

    Door Grommet for Speakers - MUC6521

    I'm putting together parts to install speakers in my new RN door cards. I have these cards and I'm looking for the grommet that routes the speaker wires from bulkhead to door. My bulkhead has no holes cut in the door jambs and I'm trying to figure out the right way to do this. Ideally, I...

    Silicone tape

    Anybody have experience with silicone tape and coolant hoses? I accidentally put a pinhole in a brand new $250 silicone coolant hose with a sharp hose hook (don't ask). I've heard good things about this tape and wondering whether it forms a permanent, trustworthy solution or if it's just a...

    Slam plate

    Has anyone here done a 300Tdi conversion on an ex-MoD or similar vintage truck and replaced the slam plate and radiator mount bracket? My truck has the old style plate that uses radiator brackets that secure to the wings. This style wasn't intended for use with the 300Tdi/modern style radiator...

    Stud tool

    Is there a good tool for inserting and tightening studs (think exhaust manifold studs)? I seem to remember using one at Brian's @DefendersNW shop but I can't remember the exact details. I see a stud remover in the Snap-on catalog. Can those be used for inserting studs? What's the right way...

    EMP-proof Defender

    I've been thinking about doomsday scenarios lately--not seriously or with any kind of fear--more as a thought exercise. I really love my 300Tdi-powered 110 because of how little it takes to run it aside from fuel. Thinking of potential weaknesses of the truck in an EMP situation, the only...

    Carlisle, PA

    Do we have any members around Carlisle, PA? Just got word that the Army is moving us up there this summer. I haven't lived on the East Coast in two decades. I'm wondering what it will be like. What are the Rover happenings up there?

    Photography Class

    @jymmiejamz's comment on the places-you'll-go thread got me thinking about photography and how I learned. I've owned two Canon 5D cameras and while I took a ton of photos with them, my shots were never very good. I only knew how to use the automatic and aperture priority modes. I bought a...
