    Front Mud Flap Install

    Yep - there are a few versions of the front bracket each with different mounting spots (slightly) - watch the pocket between the outrigger and bulkhead as well - easy to get buildup in there that will hasten the rot. A bit of pond liner or other thin sheeting will span the gap and keep the...

    Front Mud Flap Install

    Fronts are drill and bolt up... Seen UK farm trucks with self tapping screws even. Rear Factory kit included rivnut and post 93 chassis (some, never ALL of anything Land Rover made is consistent) had a hex shaped hole ready to take the rivnut...

    Roof top tent setups

    I'm super biased here, but lots of experience, research, and customer intercept interviews as well. Autohome is the tent I found after lots of research for year around use in NORTHERN states and across the Americas. Full disclosure - Bought first tent in 2011, became a reseller of Autohome in...

    Rear seat placement

    Most folks using a simple low bench, but I suppose anything that fits is viable. Doesn't need to fold flat if you can adjust position or remove entirely...

    Rear seat placement

    no photos handy (sorry) - loadspace matting is 3/4" thick horse stall in most of our working trucks so the 5/8" track is below the mat level just a touch. I've had to bend or weld up either a front or rear bar to get an aligned bolt patient between front and rear seat mounts so that the tracks...

    Rear seat placement

    If I'm not too late - most of the forward bench conversions we've done have been using airline track so the seat is adjustable and removable. Anchor/sandwich plates under the tub to share the load and seatbelts to track as well (if not built into the seat itself). Toting kits around and the...

    Tie-down points in 130 options.

    I run track just below rail in all of my 130s - change the lower from hoop m8 to eye-bolts for additional support.

    Whats best? Fat tires or thin.......

    Trucks were designed for and run best with tall & skinny... Pump them up and reduced rolling resistance means better milage, better power transfer, better top end. "I noticed a long time ago how Baja residents set up their trucks. Tall, skinny tires are ideal. They give good ground clearance...

    Thank you for the kind words! This program was beta-tested with one of the founders of NAS-ROW and has been refined over the last decade. Still our favorite way to help Defender owners get deep expedition-ready knowledge and hands-on practice with the projects! The goal has always been to...

    HCPU Spare Tire Carrier

    Ive got a few UTO - shipped a nice one out to someone last month... #2 is tougher to make, but is aesthetic and not required for functionality. The different offsets are easy to make and would benefit from one matched to the actual tyre/wheel combo. The clamp is the hard part but can be...

    Exmoor Trim Leather Seat Retrim Feedback

    Just opinion - the Exmoor foams we've seen through the shop are far too soft. Short lifespan and bottom out after only a few years of regular use. Original foams in good shape when you can find them, or $$ aftermarket seats (ScheelMann) if you can afford them and they fit the configuration...
