I think you have three options: Raised height RTT with bikes travelling underneath, and then drop the height down to access it when you're at camp, an inverse of the set up on this Drifta DOT, which raised the RTT frame at camp: https://www.drifta.com.au/dot-96-custom-dot-7-base/ Longer drawer...

Something like this might be the solution? http://www.isi-carriers.com/caravans/h-mount/isi-hm-al.html

How is it under the plastic flares? They're great rot traps in the UK - there's a Colorado/Prado on Landcruiser Club that has had about 2" cut out of the arches to remove the rust from behind the flares!

Try rock auto or fcp euro for the hose. It'll be easier if it's shared with the cars of that era (which is likely).

First up have a read of this PDF: https://www-ak.bspg.co.nz/webtop/bsg/product?client=NZTA&prodid=TA106748&type=pdf "What about left-hand drive vehicles? New Zealand is a country that requires vehicles to be right-hand drive. If you are considering importing a left-hand drive vehicle, see...

Full Roadtest from Autocar this week https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/land-rover/defender-2020 It's an interesting read in terms of what they find good and bad, and where they'll reserve judgement...

This was the clean one in the local shop: They also had a dirty one down the front.

7% is quite a normal European ratio; they tend not to run the long drawbars/a-frames that Aussie and USA/NA market trailers do, which leads to the heavier noseweight.

Quick run out in the HJ45 (white blanked plate) + a mate's HJ45 (with the yellow blanked plate): Later on that day, they both spent nearly 2hrs in L4 and 1st or 2nd gear doing a bit of rock and gully dodging - and water up to the hubs... This photo was taken up on the ridgeline where some of...

Thats a Ford Everest body shoved onto something like the Ineos drvietrain. Probably used because its mainly an Australian market vehicle.

Wonder why it was shipped in the USA as a RHD? Aussie, Kiwi or British services base near to the original dealer?

Review on UK roads from Autocar: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/land-rover/defender/first-drives/land-rover-defender-110-d240-s-2020-uk-review Interesting concluding comments: "Should I buy one? This new Defender steps off where the last one bade us farewell: as a premium vehicle ripe for...

I've got a pair of Blundstones that I've finally worn out to the point that they are falling apart - bits of the sole falling off, stitching has burst.... but that is after about 4 years of use/abuse. Wife uses Redbacks (pull on safety toe) as her (paid) work boots, and a pair of Rossis...

These are both interesting from the point of view of the Range Rover development - I actually am coming to the opinion that the new Defender is the replacement for the Range Rover Classic (which is what the Disco almost started life as) having read these and thought about it...

I don't think you mean Aussie BMW engines.... I think you mean Austrian.... bit of a difference...

Mercedes R-Class? They're sort of forgotten about really. Although what I think you want is a raised VW Caddy van from Europe/Australia, or a Dengel converted PSA van.

An interesting piece from Autocar - note where the Defender (and S1-3) Land Rover sit in the total numbers - and where the Ford F-Truck sits as well: https://www.autocar.co.uk/slideshow/best-selling-cars-all-time-each-car-maker-1

On the Australian side, it'll need to comply with ADR's and will need an import plate affixing (which requires import approval and then an inspection at an approved inspector) https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/vehicles/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/vsb1/vsb_01_b.aspx...

Over hand knot in the flattened straps and then stored in a suitably sized bag; I've got a load of cam buckle straps in an old full body harness bag, whilst my ratchet straps go in a boot bag. I like the idea of the daisy chaining that someone else suggested; that's generally how I tidy up...

The challenge is that in Europe (where the Land Rover comes from) a 5+ litre diesel engine is legitimately a truck engine, not a car engine, as evidenced by Isuzu who put a 5.2 litre engine in their 7500kg GVM truck range, whilst in their 5500kg range it still comes with a 3.0 (admittedly a 4JJ1...
