What have you done to your DEFENDER today?

[JimC]

Made some good progress getting the bulkhead and rear bulkhead fitted out. Some Td5 and later vehicles come with a noise pad behind the dash. I got some Second Skin Mass-Loaded Vinyl and made one. This fills up the space nicely but next time i would got for the thinner version.

On the rear bulkhead I’m setting up the internal brackets for a Safety Devices cage as I go along. Any parts of the kit that go under the body I pulled out and had galvanized.

Finished the butyl layer of sound deadening on the roof (press & seal) and added thinsulate Acoustic on that. Worked great. Recovering headliner this weekend So I can get it back in.

I replaced the water pump on the 110 due to a failed bearing

I’m at my parents river house, so not the worst place to fix it.

Looking good!! Be sure to post a picture once you have the headliner finished.

New bumper, new KBX grill (headlight surrounds will go on when I do the LED light upgrade), and OEM A-bar...will have to decide what lights I will mount on the bar..

Got to look at my truck yesterday. I thought I took more pictures than I did. Looking good.

The truck with the LS sounds awesome.

Defender got Wolfs and 7.5R16 BFG MT KM3s

(Before) - apologies for the Michael Bay lens flares, the amount of sun while I was doing it was staggering

(After)

Noticed some wet driver's floor carpets in the D3 and found a crusty nipple (ha) on that side's sunroof drain.
Bodge fixed it with PVC and some silicone, now we dry...

New 8.25r16 XZL on ANR1534 steelies.

 

[Brrrrt]

Replaced the 13 year old XZLs with new BFG T/A K02s (235/85R16)...so much quieter and smoother of a ride.

Retrimmed the front seats. What a FUN job that is

Built a structural frame for my recently acquired oem canvas.
Next step, make new mounts for the tent.

Is this thread jumping from April of last year to yesterday for anyone else ??

 

[Tbaumer]

^^Yep. Did we lose a bunch of posts?

 

[javelinadave]

There are two threads
What did you do to your Defender and What did you do to your Rover. Everybody has been posting Defender stuff in the Rover thread. I just stinky'ed both of them. Nothing has been lost.

They sound fun to do. The results are amazing though. Denim Vinyl, correct?

Those strikers work really well. I find they still grab the odd belt loop, but they are much more forgiving, If you feel it grab as you are getting in, you can just adjust your weight slightly and your loop will easily slide off the striker.

I ripped the whole back pocket off my favorite pare of Kuhl pants once while trying to push start the truck in a parking lot. ....it didn't start...
