Doors

Can't find a decent link, but these are the ones I'm running.

H4, with heat pipe tech, so no fan in the back of them to get full of dust water and mud.

Dip and main work as they should with the correct pattern.

I have LED H4 bulbs fitted to the stock head lights in Betsie. Straight swap, no mods required.

Brilliant white light, they get mistaken for HID's all the time

Got the bulbs in Aus, will see if I can find a link.

.....and its a Land Rover 110, not a Defender

DieselBoy

Very cool

When you bringing it up north behind the NJ??

DieselBoy

Slapped some flares on for WOF purposes. I kinda liked it better with out, but they are necessary :wink: :wink: image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg It's been up and down the road an few times and the donor motor of dubious condition after sitting in a crate for 30 years seems to be getting better with ...

DieselBoy

Dad on the strip disc taking the bonnet back to bare alloy. It's hopefully gonna be the blingest straightest panel of them all. Maybe haha

And the bloody tailgate. Who knew huh

Better tidy this up properly later on

DieselBoy

Time to sort out some of the minor issues, wrecked doors, tail gate that doesn't fit the new cross member, bent bonnet etc This is the best I can do to give the doors another chance short of making a new skin for them. Maybe I'll do that on the next rebuild ;) image.jpeg So what your looking at, is ...

To finish off the guards and hide some of my repairs, we adapted some S3 alloy guard tops to fit. They make good work benches too.

DieselBoy

We have had the restored front fenders stashed away carefully, so with the exhaust valve clearances set (side valve engine), the time to fit them was now

DieselBoy

That afternoon we got carried away and started fishing parts out of the depths of the shed to refit....

DieselBoy

The other weekend it left the garage under its own power for the first time in 4 years.

Most adapt a Hilux axle to suit. SJ axles are to narrow I believe.

DieselBoy

Yep, good tread on the outer edges, probably 5mm give or take in the center.

It was the spare for my old SWB Safari.

Will grab a pic in the day light for ya, its hiding in the back of the wood shed

Where did you find that??

I looked a couple of times

DieselBoy

I have a 35" Maxxis Creepy on a 15 X 8 alloy rim kicking around.

I'm in/near Hamilton.

$150??

DieselBoy

Are there places still left and how do we get an entry form??

DieselBoy

Nah, waste of time stuffing round trying to match Isuzu to LR transmission. You'l move everything, cut everything and fab everything (eng mounts, radiator, trans tunnel, fire wall, trans mounts, bell housing, clutch, drive shafts and so on) and then wish you had the Isuzu gear ratios etc to suit the...

It's still getting love

Brakes done, new(hand me down) tyres fitted engine electrics and dash working, some lights in the front sorta working.

But more painting and odds and ends to do still

DieselBoy

Man that's cool, you could park it up anywhere and nobody would suspect a thing if you kept the roof down and back closed!!!

DieselBoy

What mudlva said, diesel bug for a starting place, pull your fuel filter and inspect it

DieselBoy

Sure being a Jeep you can get a Detroit full carrier replacement auto locker for the rear??

We run them in the rear of the Defenders, $1200 landed at your door, fit your self with a socket set and a dial gauge

DieselBoy

That's it aye, you just have to get in there and do it yourself!!!!! Its going to get dented, scratched and used, so its only going to look rough until the first trip while the paints still shiny, after that any imperfections will blend away and you will be the only one that notices them :D :D :D :D...

DieselBoy

We braved the weather up in the far north, Herekino, 90Mile, G.E.Bay, Mitimiti etc etc

Little vid if the link works:

Cheers for that, was a good watch

DieselBoy

When is the next planned run into the hut this summer??

Might have a couple of vehicles and crew keen to go in for a look, just need a rough date to plan around

DieselBoy

Epic use of space! Is there an upper sleeping platform too? Yeah there is, its really hard to show though. This is a Troopy, but its exactly the same system on the Defender: Bed in the Up position: 10151238_536157469835019_7064978342169346509_n.jpg Bed in the sleeping position: 10177360_53615751983...
