Thread: Spectre Land Rover Defender Upgrade....

That is lovely. I'd rather have a LR TDV8 though.

Anyone got more info on this mod? My current reco steering box lasted not much kilometres before being sloppy.


Himalaya is all Land Rover all the time. But the company won’t be tied into strictly using Land Rover parts when other ones are proven reliable and will work even better.

“We brought a brand-new steering box over from England and it leaked instantly, as soon as we put it on,” says Shondel.

So in place of the stock Land Rover steering box is one from Jeep Wrangler JK. Overall, the steering system of this Himalaya Spectre is one of the most direct, slop-free, and nicely weighted we’ve ever sampled in a lifted 4X4. Those new Wilwood disc brakes feel strong. too.

So even though the Spectre rides on giant wheels and tires, it steers and stops more like a stock truck
