If you´re interested, Tibus has a TD5 with new turbo and low milage from a Defender he stripped for his own project 110SW.

Hi,
I am back from the LRO Show in Billing and it was quite an experience.
I even met Justin from Lucky8 :ylsmoke:
Some more imgaes of the new TIBUS Twin motor winch...
The drum is pretty full, but I packed almost 80m of rope (11mm) on it and did so by hand.
The winch retails at approx. € 3.000,- (excl. tax), which would be about US$ 4.000,- (excl. tax) plus shipping/handling.
Another shot showing the hight increase and change in appearance compared to a standard Defender 130 Puma (TD4)....
So long,
Robert

Having the opportunity to be on the Silverline stand I was able to take the dimensions of a few rims and see if they would be available in the proper offset required to cover the drop boxes.
Pictured above is the Silverline Blendo 7x16 military rim and from September 2010 they will also have a 8x16 available.
Wolfgang Tibus is currently looking for other, alternative, brake discs and callipers.
Currently I have the ORC domes mounted but I will go for the new turrets developed by Devon4x4 next month. Probably together with the King Shocks setup.

I work very hard for this "budget". Have in the past and probably will for some time to come...but as you say, I think it´s money well spend and to me it´s very important to get it right the first time now, not like improvising as I did with my K5 and my 110SW.
I guess I am my own biggest fan, too :wings: at least I became a member in my own fan-club when I saw the truck the first time live!
