    Timing Gear Question for 200TDI gu-ru

    The tensioner is the part with shoulders that should be preventing the belt from walking. What does the tensioner look like and how is it aligned? Did you use a new OEM tensioner? http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=14285

    Tyre presssures over rocks??

    Airing down to the correct pressure is better for preventing punctures. The Duratrac do have a reputation for weak sidewalls. As far as "correct" pressure. Measure the sidewall height at road pressure. Air down until the sidewall is 75% of that height. That is your minimum general safe...

    Anyone dealt with Global Roamer recently?

    Global Roamer is what used to be Rocky Mountain.... Same people, different name due to Land Rover threatening legal action against everyone.... They are very trustworthy and stand up people. You can pay by PayPal if you want.

    Can it be done, (THE BUILD) a little back country trip to the USA

    They do not go by sight. They go by smell. There is nothing you can do to prevent a bear from smelling something. In bear country, food should be inside a closed vehicle or hung up away from camp. In any case, I would not leave a fridge in the back of an open tray to begin with. Someone...

    101 lockers

    You can get Detroits, which is a simple option for the rear. IT is not really "oddball". It is a Dana 60. It just uses an oddball side gear size. There was a group of guys in Australia that had custom side gears made up for ARBs. The rest of the normal Dana 60 locker works fine.

    40+ Imported Defenders seized by Homeland Security Today (developing story)

    It is actually Land Rover that decoded the VINs incorrectly. Land Rover provided the build dates to the government.

    40+ Imported Defenders seized by Homeland Security Today (developing story)

    That is not really a correct explanation.... 6 were returned earlier as previously discussed. They have cancelled the warrant on 8 trucks that were never seized as they were not able to locate those trucks for seizure.

    Fox News running story on LR confiscations

    Those are US spec Discoverys, not imported trucks. That has zero to do with this subject.

    1993 Camel Trophy 200TDI

    Reserve not met at $45000? That is insane. I think that you should just take the money from whoever was crazy enough to offer more than that privately. People in the States are wacko.

    Advice on Optimal Tire Pressure (LR4 with 265/65R18 BFG A/T KOs)

    Another good starting point. Find a scale and weigh each axle. Find the load rating for each tire and the pressure and adjust proportional to that. The tires are rated at 3000 lbs at 80 psi, so if the actual weight on the tire is 1500 pounds, then 40 psi is a good place to start.

    6x6 defender off road camper build

    Just an FYI, that "sound deadening" is "sound damper". All that is does is prevent flat panels from acting as a speaker. It is only useful in the center of flat panels, covering more than 1/3 of the panel center does nothing useful. If you want to stop sound transmission, you need a barrier...
