My wife has dug me in the ribs get a bit more done on this one as the parts for it are all through the house and garage. If I can't get it done soon I will be selling the parts and giving up
The worst thing is there is an order I have to do it in as I wan't to get engineered. The blower and Gas will have to go on last or I have no chance.
I will start on body lift, flares and then do some brake test with 33s (Don't have 35s here yet) on to see if up to scratch before the Defender calipers and Vented disc go on.
On tyres.. I am looking at Micky T MTZ. 35X12.5 They seem to be the pick of the bad lot for all round use. Remember I do long black top runs as well as severe off road. I can't carry two sets of tyres for 1000s of kms in case I need them. So there will be a compromise My other consideration is 35s wont clear on my 120" 110 with out a lot off stuffing around I just wonder if I should come back to 33s so one size fits all. It would make the engineering easier as well. For now we'll try the 33X12.5 mongrels on it. (Motorway tyres are no more)

Havn't done much on the Rangie as waiting till I get the wrecked 90 model so can make a reak good one out of the two and should to help speed things up.
I have started to make some billet pulleys for setting up the Super charger so can play with boost on the second rangie Once we get engineered with lift,Tyres etc I will swap the 3.9 and blower in and try to engineer it again Then the gas

This one will slow it down. The next few will be smaller and boost it up more.






It's taking a wile but will go togeather quick once every thing is sorted.
