    ECR BeachRunner on BAT

    Listening to wagonboytd mumble his way through on that deadend podcast with his "one hundred percent" comments every other sentence was enough. He either over states the obvious (brings nothing to the auction) or states things that are wild speculation (which again, bring nothing to the...

    The Very Best Thread

    When the web site says "call for pricing" I begin to think its out of my budget....or is that just me?

    Building the perfect 90

    It really is a personal choice - Most every owner I have met thinks their color is the "right" one - when really the only right colors are Beluga black and white! :ROFLMAO: I am a ways away from my frame swap on the 127 but still thinking about the final color - its almost standard issue for...

    Clutch

    I have close to twice the mileage you have on my 95 - the clutch is fine. Given the miles this has on it the PO didn't go wheeling in it so chances are you have another 50K+ to go before the clutch is gone. Although they don't fail at once I replaced my master (because the barrel was shot...

    Defender 90 NAS - rear a-frame ball joint replacement question

    I did mine and I had it on the bench / Axle stand and it was a PITA. It was a Salisbury axle and the castle nut was not budging - I had the axle upside down with penetrating fluid on it over night to crack it loose - I think I eventually took the grinder to it. All I kept saying is - how would...

    Polybush Blue anyone?

    So anymore about the death wobble? I would think its all related given the radius arms are to stop that - but I also understand the disconnected mechanical failures that plaque British vehicles - i.e. replace a headlight and the speedometer stops working unless the right blinker is on...

    Removing step bumper/rusty rear crossmember clean up

    The issue with this bumper / step are the round "pegs" inserts that sit with in the rear box frame of the chassis The simple fix that I have found is I lube them up with anti-seize - like with a paint brush. This will get water into it, paint will scratch off either on insertion as you...

    Grenadier

    You can't get a pick up truck with out a computer screen in the dash - its just the way of the world. Most of the time he answers his own questions - i.e. why have the overhead switches when 90% of the buyers are not adding lights? Well that is why they have the Riccaro seats that he hates...

    Broken half shaft (at least?)

    A gate in NYC is only going to stop a causal joy rider - LOL. The other thing to consider that is lost on many is that this rig is at least 25 years old - right? And you don't really know how it was driven through out its life. So if you are not going to get into serious off roading (and...

    Greek Peak 2023

    Are these all on the same channel? So you get to listen to chatter of spotters and have them talk you through? I guess I'm missing the point given these trails are not more than a level 3 how much would these actually be needed? I miss the days of the simple CB being the standard...LOL.

    Alternate Fuels for 200TDi?

    As I learn about owning a diesel - Some say you can run old diesels on everything from peanut oil to old motor or gear box oil - does this apply to a 200TDi? Or are the injectors a problem? I didn't see anything pop up in a search - so anyone doing this? Thanks.

    300 Tdi Oil Leak

    Looks like its the power steering - The fan might be whipping it around - its tough to tell, but consider all the options (meaning anything that has oil is suspect! LOL). Wipe it down, start it up and lay underneath it to see whats what... Have someone hold 3000 rpm to increase pressure then...

    Grenadier

    Todays kids (my 3 included under 20) are so conditioned to take things in 30 second bites - from TicToc to surviving in COD, to snapchats to the volume of information coming at them everyday. I had my oldest repack the bearings to the D90- and I explained to him how the whole hub assembly...

    Defender U.S. Duty/Tariff Rates

    May'21 for mine and it was feared the chicken tax would get me - but my rate was 2.5% via Baltimore - How the hell has 2 years gone pass already and I still haven't started the rebuild!!!

    Building the perfect 90

    First off - thanks for the level of documentation. My mind is so singularly focused on the task at hand that I will finish it and then step back and after I get done with the "Yeah I fucking built that" self patronizing congratulations that we all go through to different degrees - the reality...

    Defender U.S. Duty/Tariff Rates

    So its either impossible to get this registered in CA or its equal to the cost of the vehicle - unless of course he "happens" to own a mailbox in Montana? I wonder if he knows this....
