    110 3 door tub and many body parts

    I am in the process of finally converting my 3 door 110 to a 5 door crew cab and I'm selling off the extras. The tub isn't perfect but I did a lot of work years ago including forming and welding new sides to enable use of Puma 3rd row seats. Post fabrication I had the inside LineX at a local...

    Doug selling his AA Yellow D90 NAS.

    I was surprised by how soft he was after his response to posting on D-90 source years ago while being a youtube person. I don't think he was treated any differently than anyone else that posted similar questions or remarks but he has complained about it a number of times on his channel and...

    What have you done to your DEFENDER today?

    Very good news to hear that it is very clean. BTW - Cummins has a 14% sale going on for the week LOVE2024 code if you need another gasket.

    1991 200TDI to R2.8--couple remaining questions

    MountainD - thank you! (I was out of town and seeing this now hence me posting days later) I have the long bell R380 with my engine very close to the steering box so pretty close to as far forward as it can go I think. Besides the strength of the aluminum I am hoping the increase in capacity...

    1991 200TDI to R2.8--couple remaining questions

    I don't mind at all - and would really appreciate the measurements! Is the R2.8 starting fine in the cold or is it in hibernation for the winter?

    1991 200TDI to R2.8--couple remaining questions

    Bummer! I am going to start breaking my 110 down for paint and have been thinking of doing the same engine mounts that you did while I have everything apart. Adding to that list was a swap from the plastic pan to aluminum so this is good timing. I think my engine is mounted higher so I may be...

    Building the perfect 90

    I'm with you on the metallic grey but I have a friend in town that has an Arles Blue NAS that's a little faded and scratched and it looks just right 👌. I think the greens do that as well - they get that dated look as JimC said as they get used. 90's also don't have that much surface color area...

    Land Rovers That Suck

    That was my guess with the Wrangler chassis. Ample axle and suspension configurations available so I can see why they go that direction. And they must be using the body kit that bolts onto the Wrangler chassis (the brand name is escaping me). I'm sure it drives great and the workmanship looks...

    Land Rovers That Suck

    My friend just sent me this pic. On first look, it's nice and clean and I like the softtop and half doors. But then the 8 lug axles and it seems it's on a completely different chassis. Then of course the LS swap. The interior is completely different including the dash (and not just to the...

    Car trailer question

    Thanks for the info @rocky. Agree that an 18' would help balance the load out - even with the 110 there isn't much wiggle room. I can get away with it because it's overall a light load and I'm towing with a Ram 2500 6.7 CTD but if I went a lighter truck I would want the trailer balance dialed...

    Car trailer question

    I've used a Big Tex 14ET (Equipment Trailer) the last couple of years. It's a little short (16ft) for some of the things I towed (Ram 1500) but it's done it fine for shorter trips. I've been tossing around going to an 18' car trailer with a 9,900 capacity. I might go look at 1500 Duramax's...

    I am out of the loop, what's a 6x6 Perentie worth?

    I would say the Isuzu 4bd1 engine is one of the selling points for the Perenties. Would be a shame to LS swap it. Fully agree with the 37's tho

    Grenadier

    I kind of dig the Scout 80 style tail lights on the 1/4 master pickup.

    Greek Peak 2023

    Yes, Roberto was blown away with how much he learned from Bill. I believe some other folks were involved with the recovery too - IIRC Roberto said one of the RN guys told him to pull the plugs, cycle the engine and said it would be smoky going down the road but to run it out and back for a...

    Greek Peak 2023

    haha - I'm just out of frame in that pic. That was the family from San Diego that drove cross country for the event in that NAS 90. The nicest folks! Roberto and Diego got that 90 on it's side mid-day Saturday but were able to self recovery with the help from some people. We rode Schitt's...

    1991 200TDI to R2.8--couple remaining questions

    The Disco 2 seat conversion came out awesome! Very tidy and it looks like some decent leg room with them as well. And welding aluminum is very tricky - the material and it's thickness, the cleanliness, and weld settings all make a massive difference (at least for me). Both aluminum jobs came...

    110 Roof with headliner and L sides - $900

    Sold the sides this week so adjusting the price. $700 I will include a single cab roof if someone has some fabrication skills and wants to make a crew cab roof for cheap.
