Hello from the wilds of Wheelers Hill

Hi there, I've had my truck for nearly a year and joined the LROCV. I have been perusing this forum for titbits of info when required and thought maybe i should actually introduce myself and start posting.

The Important stuff:

2000 Defender 110 TD5 Xtreme, Epsom Green with a white roof.

Came fitted with:
Bullbar with spotties and spreaders
Hydraulic Winch (haven't really used it to do anything yet)
UHF with Aerials on Bullbar & roof rack
HF (aerial removed at present)
Dual battery system
Rhino rack with custom roof rack (currently not on car so i can get into Car parks etc)
High lift jack and shovel mounted on the rear
Custom draw rack system (complete with removable containers and latching drawers)
Cargo barrier with Radio Amps fitted
Air Compressor
Engel 40l fridge
Various Electrical and mounting points with parts missing

Cooper ST's which will be replaced with Goodyear Wrangler MT/R on the weekend as the ST's are getting old hard and chipping

Tacho (has never worked since i've had it as there is no pulse wire from the ECU, odd to be sorted at some point in the future...)

My purchases for the truck:
EGR bypass kit to keep gunk and crap out of the intake
Boost gauge (to be fitted... somewhen)
Wrangler MT/R's (Saturday)

Things to be do etc. Far too many to list.

Anyway hope i haven't bored the pants off you, I will post up some photos shortly

Thanks all for the welcome.

Don't know if i'll be there in Feb if you are referring to the 20th i'm busy going back to uni, would rather go play. Not sure i do nkow the pic rule....

The Series 3 is owned by another guy in the LROCV, had a few funny moments through the day like when the window glass fell out in the sandpit.

I LOVE the white roof, looks much better IMO to single colour, makes it easy to spot in the carpark. Not that it is particularly inconspicuous...

Welcome! Fantastic photos too. Your Defender looks well set up.
Looks like a fun place to 'play' is it private property?
