Post Pics of your Defender

[DividingCreek]

Neat shots Jay. Was it hard to fit the fender flares to the sankey ? They greatly improve the appearance. I fitted a cheap ladder rack from Pep Boys to my Sankey last week and added two crossbars so I could mount the ARB rtt to the trailer. It put the tent @ the perfect height and left it so we could access the fridge etc in the trailer bed-gave me some traction on that project now i want to do other mods like add a series drop down tailgate.

:Wow1:

Sweet:snorkel:

yeah the last shot in that album is as I drop into a deep hole. The 5 bar on top of that fender is 48inches/4 ft off the ground. As it goes under I was a bit nervous.... even in a tdi thats high anxiety time, I had water come over the hood and into the open bulkhead vents.

Rovers North set up and ran the rtv course and had gates out in the river-very cool. I had a lifted d1 there in addition to the 130 for my girlfriend to play in. My brother used the disco to compete in the rtv and swung way out in the river to be sure to make the gates and buried the hood-I was waiting for the gems v8 to die but it never missed a beat-lucky for him :Wow1:

I thought you sold that Defender. It looks like you edited it, but didn't you say you sold it for over $70k or something?

I think it's been awhile since I have posted, my truck is in dire need of a trip and has been ignored far too much this summer. I plan on remedying that this Fall with a few trips to the desert.

Here are some pictures of my defenders, past and present:

First is my 1996 300tdi 110. Unfortunately I got a bit 'out of shape' at a pay-and-play day. The old girl used itsown winch to pull it self back onto its wheels, ran perfectly and drove it around for the next couple of weeks until the insurance company declared it a repairable write off and at the time, i had neither the time or space to take on the work myself.









Next up is my soft top 1984 Land Rover 90. Not much left original on this, as it stands at the moment:

3.9 efi V8 (out of a range rover) with Wolf 3D engine management, Extractors, High flow exhaust
Front and rear ARB lockers
Maxidrive axles and drive flanges
Heat treated and pegged ring and pinnions
rear disc brake conversion
HD cranked and corrected radius arms
35 12.5 r15 baja claws on offset rims - extanded arches to fit them in
3" suspension lift with longer shocks and rear dislocation cones
Winch, winch bumper, spot lights
Raptor dash console

probably more that i have missed!





Finally, my latest aquasition, a civililan 6x6 perentie. Same drive train as military version, going to turn it into an off road camper for a big trip in a few year. I have grand plans for the build of this truck and am doing so with the mind set of 'do it once, do it right' so will be taking my time and cutting no corners.

Holy HUGE! That Perentie is big, cannot wait to see what you do with it.

Nice pics and the one with the tiny water crossing:snorkel: Would love to see pics of the deep crossing. Thanks for sharing.

Here are a few images of my "Rhino Lady" a 1996 110 SW 300Tdi with some minor improvements (e.g. large intercooler, Proflex suspension, SD Full External, Sparco Pro 2000 Seats,....)

Transsyberia 2007....
The only vehicle to master the 3rd special stage in Russia which was declared undriveable by the organizer...

A small river in Mongolia, which was so tiny that it wasn´t even mentioned in the roadbook. The first river in the roadbook was another 7 miles ahead and was marked as deep...it was .)

Posing in Mongolia during a long liason stage...

Superkarpata 2008
After weeks of rain the roads were tough for the following vehicles. My team mate drove ahead on this stage and I followed in his tracks only to discover that the soil was already compressed to much and just gave way. Later I took the lead and he nearly slid down a mountainside

Halfway through the race, a quick team shot with my great co-driver....

...and an image from the prologue...

She´s a daily driver, too, even though she currently suffers a bent front axle and some other damages from the Superkarpata Trophy

So long,

Oily

I was thinking same thing and the next 3 years worth of post isn't much better.

what happens to photo's posted on this site ? the majority of the pictures in this thread are gone. Seems criminal since they were awesome.

She is a big girl. Wheel base, from front to rear axle is 157" and GVM is 5.5T!
