Thread: What did you do on your Defender today ? (well, this week anyway)

not really "do on your defer" but defer centric. Yesterday i found out the support bearing the MT82 is shot and box is coming apart for the 2nd time in 220,000kms. Byproduct of being 3.5T and not treated with sympathy. Also the front roller bearing in transfer is the consequential injury from a snapped front axle.

A few months later the transfer case starts to make noise. a gift for the Defer also. Bought an intake manifold for the LS conversion this morning. It was priced to good to pass up. I have 3 x LS intake manifolds, but who is counting (2 truck, 1 car).

I ceramic coated the car today, then cried when i looked in the catch can.

Im not really a fan. Not sure if it’s the colour or the fact you did the dash too but it just looks a bit too much. For me, it wouldn’t wear very well either.
