Thread: What purchases have you made for your Defender lately?

Rijidij Spare Wheel Carrier and Grip Sport Bike Carrier fitted tonight.

No longer have to remove bike carrier

Can still open door from inside

Bikes are below the roof line.

I ordered some gullwings and a snow cowl (for that one time every 10 years I seem to be able to get to the snow). Hopefully it reduces instances of smelly water entering the heater inlet!!
Oh - and a bunch off rivnuts to assist in fitting a variety of things!

Erm... Well... I can't exactly say (she might be reading this!)

Your Defender's clever, Mitch, if she's learnt to read!
Keeping it a surprise for her are you???

Tow or Toe?

Just ordered some more noise insulation and car carpet for the front of the Tardis. Now the fun begins trying to fit and mold it into shape.

Not sure I'd do this on the later models, but I ended up just using some Bunning's Carpet Squares to carpet the areas of the drivers & passengers side areas along with the rear passenger's area + also carpeted the area behind the fuse panel. Not the best solution or probably the prettiest, but for me it will do the job as its easy to remove as well.... Worked well in decreasing the in-cabin noise as well

I was thinking of using bunnings stuff but I did a molded set of carpets in a Falcon ute here at work to tart it up a bit for its 10th birthday and it looks the schizzle!!.
So I thought I might try it with the Fender, but they don't do molded sets so they are sending the carpet and some insulation. I don't know yet if I can heat the back of it with a heat gun to mold it or not, forgot to ask. Stay tuned.
