    Tiktaalik Grill and light gaurds

    I know a second run of these grills is a possibility that will most likely depend on demand. I got the OK from Carl to see what demand would actually be. He mentioned that there would be some refinements to the design. No idea on price, and certainly no timeline. This is just a "are you...

    Bearmach Catalog

    https://bearmach.com/media/Bearmach-Catalogue-19th-Edition.pdf It takes quite a while to load, so it's worth saving once you've opened it.

    Secondskin Audio Memorial day sale

    http://store.secondskinaudio.com/specials/ They make some pretty awesome sound deadener products. I scored 2 packs of the Damplifier Pro B-stock which was just enough to get the 15% off. If they don't have the B-stock I highly suggest taking advantage of the flat rate bundles. Otherwise you can...

    Name plate.

    Someone stole the name plate off the back of our 110 a few days before we took delivery. Sadly I don't have any photos of what it should have. Right now there is a plastic, all black Land Rover oval. What would be the correct badge for an '84 CSW? I like the look of this one...

    Door repair

    I have some pretty rotted out door frames. I have a tentative order from YRM to get some repair channels. I'm not sure if I need the Series or Defender style. They have one image that shows the difference, but I'm not sure what I have. Does anyone know what the early lift up doors with sliding...

    Towing a 110

    It's hard to find advice on this because everything directs you to towing with a 110. But I have to have the 110 towed from NJ to VT. My dad is planning on returning from vacation south of us so we were planning on renting a uhaul hauler. He has a '12 V8 F-150. Uhaul doesn't like the combo, yet...

    Sound deadening

    Planning a body off resto this spring so I have lots of little projects in the wings. One of them is sound deadening the massive volume of a 110. I'm thinking overkill is best. The plan was to use an adhesive dampener inside and a spray of some sort as a dual purpose undercoat and dampener on...

    LT77 Seatbox

    I continue to find problems with the quality of work that was done to convert my 110 to a 200tdi and LT77. I'm sure a team of monkeys with hand tools couldn't have butchered this any more than the self proclaimed Land Rover experts. So, now I am in need of a LT77 seatbox for a 110. I have a...

    Shipping large items freom UK

    I have a friend that is looking at purchasing a fiberglass kit for a racecar from the UK. I've also tossed around the idea of buying a Richards chassis given the nice conversion to GBP. The dilemma always comes back to shipping. I tried to get some quotes using an online calculator but they come...

    LR Part number to McMaster-Carr

    Does anyone have a list of the McMaster-Carr parts that match up with LR part numbers? I don't mind putting one together, but I'd like to not duplicate someone work if I don't have to. At the same time, is there a list of how many of part X are needed for a whole car? Ideally I'd like to be...

    PO Nightmares

    So I'm probably not alone in buying a Defender from someone only to find that some corners have been cut. Some are ok, and others are potentially life threatening. I think it would be fun to see some of the scary stuff you find, and even help each other out with solving it. I'll start with my...

    Gauges

    I picked up a Raptor Engineering cowl and binnacle to replace the destroyed stock parts. When I pulled the gauges out of the old binnacle I noticed that every single light bulb holder has been broken off and is floating inside the gauge. Probably the first reason that I have no dash lights...

    Prepping for winter storage

    I had originally planned on driving the 110 this winter but problems with the chassis are going to prevent that. Next spring it will be going to a shop for a chassis swap and related work. Aside from disconnecting batteries, is there anything I should do to prep for winter? It currently has an...
