    New Defender, 2020

    they have that disclaimer to absolve themselves. but, ways to get it done. the most expedient maybe with a vintage jeep VIN. not much different than the 2015 puma defender tagged as a 1985 trick going around. or a brand new cobra replica titled as a 1965. i also understand the lawsuit/complaint...

    New Defender, 2020

    i would own a roxor. i am fairly sure there are ways it could be plated and driven as a car in many states. add some cosmetic backdating to make it more vintage jeep. would be fantastic.

    Axle Rebuild Identification help

    looks like a normal D1 front axle to me based on the ABS sensors and brakes. if the rear has ABS sensors also likely the same.

    Questions about Santanas

    first and foremost, all santanas have far, far more in common with the Series 3 Land Rover than the Defender. that is a far more equal comparison than any both in terms of value and nuts and bolts. the Series 3 a common ancestor, and the Santana line and 90/110 went their own separate ways...

    R2.8 to Ashcroft HD R380 stumpy Conversions

    this is very nice work by you doug and quickdraw. with the baseline engineering done, it might be compelling to do a LS bellhousing for the R380 also (although that would be for the regular non stumpy). not to get off topic, but seeing the work done its inspiring.

    300tdi won't start in cold

    A good condition Tdi should start well down below 0*F with just the glow plugs and a strong battery. Are you allowing them to properly cycle? Adam

    Spy Shot Of Defender? Dec. 1

    the rear section of the roof there is completely fake. from the belt line up. i think there's nothing under there, and has the rear doof from a full hard top model to throw us off. i've said this before - 4 door power top convertible. adam

    Strange Transfer Box Serial Number

    that is not a factory stamping. likely it was at one point a rebuilt transfer case, and that number was stamped there by the rebuilder.

    Spy Shot Of Defender? Dec. 1

    if you actually read that article, they only truly knocked it for pedestrian safety and for lack of electronic safety "features" like lane keeping assistance. nothing to do with the actual safety or integrity of the vehicle itself. adam

    Spy Shot Of Defender? Dec. 1

    what if rivian is a fake company? they have been testing the new defender in broad daylight right in front of us all this time? the front end even looks like its too big for the car, maybe meaning its just a facade over the real structure underneath. there are some differences compared to the...

    Spy Shot Of Defender? Dec. 1

    i think you are on to something. to me, that looks like the new defender in a gussied up wrapper. strictly looking at the roofline, windshield, and fender openings, compared to the disguised shots we've seen. the interior also has JLR touches all over it. this is a conspiracy theory i can get...
