    Defender step bumper

    I have a new take off rear step bumper from a non us defender. Meaning there is a bolt up plate rather than a class 3 receiver. Other wise it's the same as a NAS. Also have stock late model bumper with the factory holes for the plastic end caps to attach to. I will get some pics up. Reasonable...

    Looks like its up my alley. No defenders on 20's and freelander nonsense.

    Just lucky I guess!!!

    After getting my 88 mostly smoothed out, I have been enjoying driving around without my top on. My luckless friend's dodge cummins truck decided to simultaneously eat the lift and injection pump. To the tune of $2400, ouch."I'll take you home. Just gas up the rover." His luck extended to me. A...

    More series up grades.

    After doing the cast iron clutch master upgrade. I decided to do my brake master as well. I used a 1986 Lincoln town car. Same piston diameter and bolt pattern as the girling variety. It fits in the same opening in the dual circuit cut fender. A couple of simple mods and my new $22.00 Bendix...

    Slave cylinder retrofit. Series and pre-puma defender.

    After rebuilding a standard Lucas girling clutch master cylinder I wanted to find a more permanent solution. The aluminum housing was worn and it would only be a matter of time before I would have to replace it with a new unit. My series has a Chevy v8 and granny four speed trans adapted to the...

    Bad day driving around .....

    I know if I would have kept it stock I wouldn't have flopped it ;-) Nobody was hurt and damage was minimal. It was a pain in the *** to get out though. Tapatalk sucks, sent from Matthew's IPhone

    2011 3.2 diesel defenders

    My lovely wife just bought me a Land Rover International magazine, November 2012. It has an article that caught my interest. A couple of shops have figured out how to use factory (Ford) 3.2 diesel 5 cylinder engines and hybridizing the getrag transmission. As far as I can, tell using the heavier...

    Cab back

    I am looking to trade my new take off cab back for a full 109 regular bed, this has been in a crate for YEARS. I was going to build a "tray back". Aussie style but decided the full bed will better suit my family's needs, for the zombie apocalypse. Here are a couple images of the part and what it...

    Fuel pump issues

    Just a quick reminder. Check simple things first. After months of erratic acceleration weirdness, prolonged cranking and no starts. My feeble mind jumped the gun and decided that I needed a fuel pump. WRONG. After removing the fuel tank (the RRC is an 88). I discovered that this fuel tank and...

    Recycling at it's best

    I gave my buddy from work a chassis from a rolled rangie that I parted out. He decided this would be a great solution to his cracked and wimpy chassis on his 1967 CJ6. I also gave him the housings and links. The plan is to use a TBI 350 , TH 400 and one of AA's Orion transfer cases and upgraded...

    Is this normal?

    Maybe I shouldn't try to pull wheelies up significant hills. Just a thought. I actually bent the cap bolts and spun the carrier bearing.I guess r&p sets are designed not to have debris roll through :( I'll be back on the road by Friday. Already drilled and tapped another cherry third member...
