Richards quality is comically bad. I think we have a vehicle in the shop with a Maer chassis. It’s constructed similarly to a Richards chassis. I didn’t install this one, so can’t say if it requires extensive modifications like a Richards chassis does. It definitely looks light duty compared to...

I’m going to have Ron Davis build me one at some point. I’ve installed at least a dozen of them in LS and RV8 builds without any issues.

My Allisport is leaking

Looks good. Darker than I was expecting

That is the opposite of my experience wheeling my D90 and 110 on the west coast where there are a ton of off camber hills.

Not in my experience. I’ve seen lack of vacuum, leaks, and noise. The last one I had fail basically came apart internally and was causing a knocking noise.

You are in for a sad surprise because as far as I know there is only one manufacturer for those vacuum pumps and the failure rate is high.

I have a puma main harness that has a bunch of corrosion in the connectors. It could probably be cleaned up, but I didn’t want to invest the time into it.

When we lived in LA, I thought it was the perfect environment to DD and Defender. I rarely used my ac and only used the heat in the mornings. Southern California is the perfect place to drive a classic car every day.

In my opinion, the D90 wheelbase makes it quite unstable on even moderate trails on the west coast. I never felt that way about mine on the east coast. It’s hard to describe, but a D90 just hits a point very easily where it wants to lift the front rather than move forward. Here’s an example of...

The biggest issue with Defender HVAC systems is that there are usually a bunch of air leaks allowing outside air inside the cabin while driving

I don’t find that the NAS 110 feels much slower since it has the 1.4 ratio transfer case. The HVAC is the biggest downside of the 110. I prefer the ride quality of the 110 over a 90. Agreed with @lordhelemt that a 4.6 is a nice upgrade that isn’t really taking away from the originality of the...

I believe they are also called a master link. I haven’t come across one that’s available that is the correct size and yellow that was used in CT.

Yes, that would fit.

Outside of it being bolted in place, there’s not much to show. I hastily installed it before trip so I need to make a switch bracket.

In the final stretch of wiring. I got the battery installed today. Previously there was a dual battery system, but I like when my car starts every time, so I ditched that and installed a group 31 Odyssey battery In the passenger storage box there were already two Blue Sea fuse boxes which I...

Are you doing the work yourself?

I love your garage door

The display probably isn’t working
