Thread: What did you do to your Puma today?

Umm no,, and I'm not sure if want to try that,, sounds somewhat strange

I did it to my 85 county about 18 years ago and it doesn't seem to have caused any problems it is still running on the original cv's.

Well, today I swallowed hard and demolished my right side of the engine plumbing so as to fit my BAS Silicone bottom hose.
Ive followed Mitch's' how to post on his thread which helped greatly.
I had bugger all room to wrangle the hose off at the Turbo end, so I cut it away which made life easier.
Jeez, you really get to note the poor sealing of the air intake plastic plumbing through to the air box.
Ill certainly be modding with the Nugget Stuff air box kit which I just purchased. I wouldn't trust the OEM plastic pipe to not let copious dust and water in, and you can tell by the residue in the air box.
Oh Yeah, the bottom intercooler hose mod is officially a mongrel of a job, certainly made easier in cooler weather!

Got Gracie, our Puma 90, serviced by ULR yesterday.
Pickles.

In my quest to keep the weight of my truck under some type of control, I've just purchased 30m of 10mm Dynema rope and Alloy hawser to replace the wire cable and roller fair lead on my Warn Magnum 10K winch.
Should be about a 15 - 20kg weight saving off the front end including the fairlead assemble, and obviously a lot easier to handle than the steel cable.
As Dynema doesn't like direct sun, Im going to fit some sort of Wet suit material over the exposed cable drum.
Pics to follow once I receive it all in the mail.
Have a great Easter everyone.

120,000km in my 2012 Defender 90

Seeing as I've got the truck off the road while I wait for Nuggets Air intake kit (and a new set of BAS Silicone intercooler hoses, cut the wrong end didn't I&#128563 I thought I'd rip the rear wheels off and fit the disk shield stiffeners.
An easy job. I thought about giving them the Toxic Avenger treatment, but I'm the only one who lives here and I would have been ****ed at myself for cleaning and baking the shields in my own kitchen!
Happy Easter everyone.
P.S, this isn't how I fitted them!
