Loving this build, really nice job Craig.

Lookin good Merv, keep us posted :-).... more photos please!

Wow, great phots guys, Here's one of mine from the Dusy Ershim some time ago (should be dusty ershim!!)....

Build thread is here http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=52621 He also built a very nice 100" Defender too.

Like!! Very Nice, Where were the photos taken? Morocco & UK?

As you are in the UK talk to Gwyn Lewis, he knows his stuff. I have his challenge kit fitted although my 90 is set up for long range camping trips. My front springs are OME 764 which give a good ride quality and flex, the rear springs are OME763. I have Gwyn Lewis shock mounts and OME N73GL...

I use an Oilsafe pump, makes the job easy & clean (ish) http://shop.difflock.com/oilsafe-pump-litre-p-93.html

Thanks. Its a cool area. I get a contract there a few times a year and often end up with the other Defenders on the ferry crossing. We wont mention the broken down Freelander just after the ticket booth......... oh, I just did!

I bought a little GoPro earlier this year as I felt I had a lot of lost photo opportunities when I am driving, been playing around with it and this is a first attempt at time lapse. I had just finished a job in France and was heading home. Suction mount on the bonnet of the Defender...

At least one overnight is my benchmark, there are a few more but I don't count inadvertant border crossings! Most was 22 in one year (I think). A ANDORRA AD AUSTRALIA AU AUSTRIA AT B BELGIUM BE BOLIVIA, PLURINATIONAL STATE OF BO BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA BA BRAZIL BR BRUNEI DARUSSALAM BN BULGARIA...

Well, this brought back memories. I was there in 93 for a couple of months on a mountaineering trip. We got 3 guys to summit Sahama at 21,500" and I got to the top of Huayana Potosi at over 20,000. Illimani, and Chacaltai were on the list too, the Corroico trail? Great trip, would love to go...

Personally, I find it quite interesting to see what other marques have as a comparison to LRs, be it factory fit, aftermarket or even what the really talented home mechanics are coming up with. I probably wouldn't have found this thread if it were in the general vehicle mods section as I rarely...

Yep, Rob is right. torque was a bad word to use in my description. :oops:

Hey Rob, I'm having a discussion, not an argument :D I see where you are coming from and maybe the word "torque" was technically a bad description. perhaps "drive" would be better. I was just trying to explain it is as simplistic term as my wee brain could handle. Torque being a measure of...

And engine RPM is above tickover, I forget the exact figure. ...and the more I spun the low rear wheel, the bigger the hole it dug in the dirt became, the truck tipped over more and more ....until I felt comfortable enough to give it enough gas, get the wheels spinning, TC kicked in and pulled...

Assuming you are talking about a D1/D2, Defender, RRC & P38 LR then they have a full time 4 wheel drive system with 3 differentials, one on each axle and one in the transfer g/b. these need to be open for road use to allow the wheels to rotate at different speeds. Most LRs of this type have a...

There you go Scott, fixed it for you ;-) Interesting discussion guys, its always good to see how priorities differ depending on your part of the world. I have to say I quite like ETC (electronic traction control) as its better than nothing in most situations I come across, the one exception...

This was a wee project that came and went last year, did think about keeping it as it had a galvanised chassis but in reality I wouldn't use it, too many already! I tidied it up and sadly let it go, its new keeper is very happy :)

Great thread guys, great photos! Some of mine.... Canyonlands, Utah Lake District, UK "Loneliest Road in America" Moab, Utah Canyonlands again Near Sedona Az Not sure if this fits the bill? Bolivia 93 Morocco 04 Ah.... great memories every one of them!

Are you exporting to Canada or temporary import? we took our 90 on a trip round the US earlier this year. We shipped RoRo Southampton to California. vehicle has to be empty of personal gear if you do RoRo so may not be ideal for you. We decided that for the extra expense of a container we could...
