"The Wrangler, according to FCA, has “more than 75 advanced safety and security features, including four standard-equipment air bags..." OMG, 4 whole airbags!!! The wrangler has always been more of a utilitarian vehicle than the rest of the market. But it's lagging farther and farther behind...

I think the Wrangler in its current form isn't long for this world. I bet we see something similar to the Cherokee from it. It just isn't going to keep up with modern safety standards. I don't really care if they call the successor to the LR4 a Defender. The New Disco is a Ford Explorer. If I...

https://www.motor1.com/news/286490/land-rover-defender-spied-new-body/ Some spy shots of a "110" I know some people are going to be pissed that it looks a lot like the original DC renderings. But after seeing what they did to the Disco, I think it's a win for JLR.

Do these help?

When these fail, do they fail open?

I like the comment about the Colorado ZR2. He must not have taken it off road yet to experience the sudden airbag deployment issue.

My chassis has some hexagonal holes right next to the Rear spring mounts. I bought a pack of Rivnuts from McMaster Carr that fit tightly. I tired a DIY tool to install them but it didn't work. Get a real rivnut tool. I can send you 2 rivnuts if you need. They're a 3/8-20 thread.

I went with rubber bushings this time around. From what I have, Britpart, Bearmach, Allmakes, and LR Direct's "Original Equipment", all seem to be the same exact thing. In regards to trailing arm bushings, there isn't an advantage to poly when it comes to installation. You have to remove the...

Would it help the rubber if you were to undo everything and rotate the bushing, say once a year?

From what I have heard, Proline is just the RN "brand name." They source good quality parts from other companies and call them Proline. Bearmach and Britpart do the same. LRDirect does it with the "Original Equipment" brand; it's not OEM and it's not genuine LR, it's something else, normally...

If you want fast, then Rovers North can't be beat for anything in stock. Cheap and reasonable fast, LR Direct. But make sure to get items that they say are in stock. I had a few items that were not and took 2 weeks to get. Not fun. If I understand, you want to go back to the side pickup...

In the EU a rear fog is required when front fogs are on. It's a single low light that has similar brightness to the brake lights.

So unless RB somehow got the incorrect bushings, it seems like the cost of the shock and whatever else you need is approaching the cost of OME shocks. They have very similar measurements too. Has anyone been able to compare how the two ride?

Sorry for the delay, just found my calipers. My OME shocks mount to the stock Defender rear shock brackets. IIRC that is an M12 nut, but I think the shaft is slightly larger. The ring on the shock is about 40.3mm in diameter and 30mm deep.

A higher micron rating won't do much of anything for these engines. The difference between a 2 micron and 30 micron filter is less than 0.5 psi of pressure drop. You'll see a bigger drop from a dirty filter. The Micron rating is also in some ways marketing. Each company decides how to rate...

If the deal with RD doesn't work out, I'm by Philly and could probably meet halfway.

Yep, and I second following them. I found a number of breaks in mine basically negating all the effort to get the end into the engine bay. I bought the Gwyn Lewis kit which came with manifolds like that, hoses, new fittings for the axles, and a breather cover for the timing case. You could...

https://expeditionportal.com/buyers-guide-hard-shell-roof-top-tents/ This is a little dated right now, but has most of the brands. It seems like they have been all adding models faster than ever. That tent looks a lot like the iKamper design. At one point, it was the only version that opened...

I've had nothing but trouble with DHL recently. Though most of it seems to be related to the last leg of the journey. UPS and Fedex have been ok, but the delivery date is often incorrect until the first scan stateside can recalculate. Price wise they have all been pretty similar. I had 7 large...

I'm away from my 110 right now but I can measure my OME for you. If the stars align, it will be next week. I know that you can get a complete Bushing kit from ARB for about $25. My local dealer was willing to order it for me but I only needed two washers so I went a different direction. I would...
