realized I don’t have a build on here , so I figured I’d start one as I’m doing a bunch of stuff.
? is there any easy way to move the info from that other site?

Not really. Your photos need to be uploaded from your device to here.

No question, just a build/finish thread

Adding power locks in my quest to modernize

I didn’t want to do all the work, for a $50 kit from eBay, so I bought the kit for the wiring and remotes and bought all the door parts from LR. $$ really added up though. I also really didn’t want to hack the doors for the cheap ass lock actuators.

also sprung for some new door handles. Ignore the paint, they’re just test fitted.

 

[MountainD]

Who makes those door handles? I've been looking at different sets and would love to know how you like them.

The question that I was referring to was just how to move the thread from there to here. When I cross posted in the past, I had to copy every single individual post--it was a pain. I'd love to know too.

Exmoor trim makes the handles.
I only put one on the truck and it seems really solid, sounds stupid but it has a much better feel
Pricey, but the LR plastic ones were going to be over $200 anyway

Trucks getting painted in the fall, but I didn’t want to wait to put in the new masai window. Got some color coded spray paint and 2k clear and kind of cut it in so it will be easier to tape and paint later.

If anyone is looking to purchase one of these windows, let me know. I have to order the other side version and will be selling this at a discount.

Trucks apart for paint again. Last time before I retire. (Hopefully) doing the dash with the SP dash.

Quick question, the 110 crew body was originally a 1999 td5 in blue with what I thought was an original white roof, would the white roof have been painted over blue? when they were sanding some blue came through.

 

[MountainD]

not typically. If it were factory white they’d use a white roof. it could have been dealer painted, but more likely owner painted. My white was over a grey primer, my red was over a similar primer. They paint prior to assembly. They may shoot a clear, but pieces are painted prior.

New Paint, graphite blue metallic, dash and console covers redone.

ill be trying to fit the TD5 style dash from SP, which should be interesting, as it’s far from a direct fit.
