What have you done to your DEFENDER today?

[javelinadave]

I recently acquired a New to me 1994 D90 NAS w 85k.

Added some Hella Ralleye 3000 Lights to make a clone of the Hella Edition D90’s.

Just curious to your thoughts before I complete the wiring.

Thanks!!

Badass! Old school on a classic Defender is the only way to go in my book.

 

[Mirrajumper]

Yup, classic combo.

Ok. Let me me know otherwise because my girlfriend has me thinking twice…. Any support is greatly appreciated!

 

[Topcontender]

Thank you for your support so far my brethren!

Very few 90’s are in their factory spec without the full rollcage.
Keep it!

Put this sweet doorcard/table in. zero screw holes lined up, easier to just drill new ones. Sourced from @WreckITFrank

Installed tire carrier from ORE4x4

 

[rocky]

@Bmoreau I'm definitely liking the ORE product. Does opening the door automatically move the tire away? Don't know what size tire you are running, but would like to see if a Pintle hitch would fit on the Crossmember.

The tire carrier stays connected to the door and swings out parallel with it. The rubber bumper snugs up to the door when closed, so it’s pretty solid. Doesn’t rattle. Uses existing holes, so no drilling.
I’m running 285/75-16 tire

Hood release/cable swap. I feel like this is terribly underrated upgrade. Very welcome for me as I have my hood up more than closed these days. just need to find my spot-weld cutter.

You’re not only buying a truck, you’re buying into a giant community of fantastic people that exists around the brand.

I don't know what to think....While out in my 90, someone in a Honda minivan waved frantically at me..... I don't look like a Honda Minivan.....there was no steam or smoke coming out the back of the truck. What do you think? Was it a man wishing his life would let him drive something else altogether?

Na, just another Defender owner awaiting parts and the time to work on it. You can usually spot the frustration in their eyes..

Will my Pintle clear the tire enough to still use it without opening the door?

Replaced the wiper and turn signal stalks in the truck this past weekend. The wiper stalk broke bc my 3yo was playing with the stalk and broke the arm off the 25yo plastic. The turn signal arm got bent when I climb into the truck through the window after I tried to submarine the truck into a mud hole.
Overall, pretty easy to fix with parts ordered from paddock.

Used td5 clock from eBay to replace my 300tdi one. I couldn't adjust the hours before.. the only way I was able to was by pulling the power for X amount of hours to have the correct time.

 

[supertreeman]

Installed some new rubber..no longer looks like a postal Jeep.

Drove in the pouring rain... Found a few more leaks past seals on the rear sides. Oh the joy. I know I need to get in there and replace the seals but it is a bit of a job to do so....
