Decided on going with the 255/85R16 WildPeak AT4W! Got those on order and will give the 110 a bit of a beefier look vs the 235s. Its a much heavier tire, but luckily I can roll around on it for a week or so and if I don't like them Discount will swap in the new ones. Included in this round of...

Got my 5 new Wolf steel rims in, now on the hunt for tires. Going between the 235/85r16 or the 265/75r16. I can get the BFG K03 in both sizes, but the 265/75s would be over $200 more (for 5) and just about 5lbs heavier per tire, which was surprising only being 1 inch wider. I thought really...

The poptop is awesome! Really want to swing for the Alucab since that's really all we get here in the US

Just picked up one of my dream rigs! Will use this space as my build and travel logs. We have grand plans for this! 1998 Defender 110 5 door 300tdi (Luckily re-built 30,000 km ago!) R380 5 speed Galvanized frame & factory A/C!! Got lucky with this one!! Fresh off the boat from South Africa, we...

Happy I can post in here now! Picked this up over the weekend, fresh off the boat from South Africa. 1998 110 300tdi RHD. Very excited to start building it out

Picked her up today! Excited to start the build out

Just a FYI, we bought our 2024 F150, exact specs as yours, brand new last October for $46k. It's depressing, but I would look at Autotrader for pricing. At $54k Yours would be the most expensive F-150 STX for sale in the country, new or used. We will be selling ours in the spring, hoping the...

Get the Harbor Freight storage box, they are cheap (price) as heck but hold up well. I use a few for camera gear and my drone. Not as great as say Pelican, but 1/10th the price. They have been all over the world with me and I've got nothing bad to say about them. Pelican boxes are great but are...

A LOF clutch is in the cart, one of the many things getting replaced right away since I won't know the condition of. Brakes, clutch, wheel bearings, swivel hugs, fluids of course, all bushings, all suspension, and I am sure I am missing 40 other things. I think my cart at NWR is over $20k lol

Love hearing about a well traveled Defender! Yes I have been prioritizing finding ones with a decent maintenance history. As long as the engine doesn't blow on my, I don't mind replacing most other parts, which I may do just for peace of mind. The cage would be a great idea, I follow a couple...

I won't be taking it on any long trips right off the freighter. Have a long list of maintenance and parts I will probably rebuild / replace when I get it. Luckily I havent seen too many with rust issues. Like you said its like 25+ years old at this point, SOME rust is inevitable. A 60 would be...

This is not a negative but a positive to me lol. I'm looking for a project build. I have brand new trucks in the garage and they are boring to me now, I'm dying to get my hands dirty again. As mentioned in my original post "My plan would be to go through the truck systematically and...

Awesome rig and a really great price! GLWS!
