any pics you may have taken? Idea on miles on new motor? Thanks

my buddy put 235k on his before he had a coil go out, fixed it, and still humming along without a worry.

Actually I do have a '97 D-I XD worth about the same $$. One Cali female owner, blew head gaskets and we just redid the whole motor, new radiator, etc- ready to go anywhere. I can even add a 2" OME lift if you like... Disco is awesome!!

nor did NAS90s- 5 speeds that is, did not.

me too- please post, thanks!!

do you have some measurements including the height of the mount? Thanks

I cannot believe I am asking, but where in NC are you? Sweet truck!!

You can, but have no need for it- just more potential leaks...

Looks great, and good luck on the trip. A word of advice with the KM2s- air down, especially on the sand. The tall skinny works great out west and in mud, but remember your footprint is narrow, hence the air down to increase said footprint in the sand and on the rocks out Moab way. 20psi is very...

I've used many shorter XZLs without issue on heavy laden Defenders, and actually have a set of 9x16s on the 130. Their design/technology is about 30years old, so matches the 'mind set' of the Defender. As stated above, they do not compare to modern tires from a ride/performance point of view...

Toyo makes a 285/75-17 in A/T and M/T that are 11.50x34" if that helps( use H2 wheels for cheap)

I realize that, just trying to pick at him a bit. Long story

LRNA is of no help- I have restored more than 20 Defenders, most burnt, and they will not help get copies of VIN plates or stickers. Also have had several dealers assist without results.

I've got a set of Tom Walkinshaw Racing alloys that would set that jewel off ;) Looking good!

Actually that is a great deal considering to convert a D-I to Def front brakes is over $500...

She is a 'perty' truck. It is a bit much $$- especially after the last one I was after... Thanks Zimm!! Toby- got your email, thanks. Are you the orig owner, or how long have you had it? I had a '04 G and loved it but was still suffering from the green oval disease and went back to a Defender...

Thanks- I have the stock alum wheels 16" and a set of H2s, which I am strongly considering using the Toyo A/Ts in 285/75-17 which is just shy of 34"- about an inch taller than the 285/75-16s, but same width. Appreciate the feedback- definitely going longer shocks or spacers as everyone seems to...

We should start a thread on the most Defender looking JK ;) love the white steelies, well done my friend!!

1stDeuce- did you modify the IFS, crank the bars, upsize tires, etc? I agree in that I wheel my Jeep, not the 'burb, but would like a little attitude. Thanks

Gives a glimmer of hope that LR still has kept it's roots. Great article- thanks!!
