Thread: 130 Owners - who are you?

G'day Vlad,
the roof-racks are a Rhino- RL210

Rhino Rack - Roof Racks for LAND ROVER Defender 110 4WD (LW 02/93 On

When I say it is Ex - rural Fire service, according to the plate on the passenger side b-pillar, it STILL IS a fire truck!!



Although it also seems to think it is a Land Rover DefenCer.

Perhaps I'm the newest owner of a 130 on the forum !! I bought it 7hrs ago and have just driven it home.

I'll post a couple of photos in the next day or two.

Over the next couple of weeks I'll be prep'ing it for a trip around Aussie. We only arrived in the country a week ago. I'm use to driving a 110 as I have one in NZ (it was too expensive to ship it over) so driving the 130 today was something special.

Looks like I'm hooked on yet another land Rover

Go the 130...

Cheers, LandieMan

We have a 2005 130. We bought it in May 2009 stock so we set about turning it into our ideal tourer. So far we have fitted an EGR kit, vortex muffler, engine saver, full size TRT intercooler, ECU remap (by Toombie, Mike Hayes), dual battery system using Optima blue & yellow tops plus a traxide unit plus his upgrade headlight wiring loom, silicon hoses, high tuff heavy duty axles & CVs, ARB front & rear diff locks, ARB compressor (under bonnet), 6 x Wolf rims with Wrangler muddies, checker plate fender protectors, Warn XD9000 winch (which we fully serviced and put new wire rope on), exhaust manifold - cutaway part of webbing and sent away to have heat treated by PRO COAT ( hopefully no warped manifold) Outback interior roof console which houses our Icom Pro400 UHF plus we have 2 handheld Icom 5 watters, VMS gps, britpart centre console, bilstein shocks all round and heavy duty king springs in front and firestone airbags in place of coils in rear, bilstein steering dampener, long ranger fuel tank. Airbags are run by separate (2nd)ARB compressor which feeds 15 litre air tank which has an in-cab dual controller, from the tank we also have air in and out fed to each side of tray, ARB full length roof rack which we cut down to fit dual cab with slight overhang at front to allow for 4 HID driving lights (on order) Hi-Lift jack. Things still to do: fit driving lights, fit second shock on rear, purchased but not yet received Black Widow front seat covers and organisers to also be fitted. Oh, and we forgot to mention that we have a Piggyback slide-on camper which is just the best (we're not biased!). That's about it and we're off to the Cape in June our very first trip. PS having trouble posting pics will try again...Gaz.
