thought you had air lockers in those axles we put under it ?

I did, but I pulled them & sent them to L8 to be resealed and have some 4.11s installed on them. Only to find out that 1 wasn't rebuildable, so had to buy an Ashcroft locker and have that installed. They are supposed to be done today

Added some real rubber today. Currently on the fuji white take off wheels, but will eventually be on matching alpine white refinished wheels

Looks great on those tires Zack.

Is that the final door config? I love it.

Thanks Jeff, yeah that's the idea. Love the 2 piece doors on soft tops, just seems right

Wired in the high mounted tail light that my truck has never had before. Added some more dynamat. Found a couple more projects to do that weren’t on the list.

Edit to add image. Memo to self, cut about four inches off the tailpipe. You would have thought “genuine” meant it was properly trimmed.

Took a negative and reclaimed a small positive. I utilized the rail mount bow sockets I had planned for my boat..which had a slight mishap this past Friday, it sunk. 😞 I ripped some lumber for strapping and fit the bow sockets which attached perfectly to my NAS rack to keep it from becoming a swimming pool when the tarp is affixed.

Installed LOF clutch pedal assist spring and a LOF clutch slave as well as a new Delphi master into my 2000MY 110 Td5 CSW. After 170,000 it was dripping. What a difference in effort required to use the clutch pedal. Highly recommend this mod. Much more civilized.

Finally installed the new rear axle on my 90. It's a disco 1 axle I bought from Will Tillery- evaluated the diff, replaced all seals, bearings, shields and added 110 brakes. Also took the opportunity to do all rear bushings, shocks, upper link and hardware. The difference in the drive without the clunk and completely shot bushings is a really nice difference. Old axle and some other random parts about to hit the parts section.

First time, I bolted something to a car, took me 10 hours, Lol. I knew why people are having kids, really helpful to have extra pair of hand.

The spare tire carrier is bearmach, I chose it because of the very low profile look, it didn't gave out much look of the defender.

I replaced the faded LCD display on my 1997 Japanese Defender 90 NAS, best 50 $ ever spent. Again, took me 1 hour to do it.
