Thread: Show us your Deefers !

Hi n-plus-one,

The Minister For Finance & Everything refuses to grant approval for the purchase of a winch and off-road bumper on the front, something about ruining the front lines of the Defender shape !! . . . still not happy mind you, and might just turn up home with one bolted on !

Had to get 'triangle' 'u-shape' inserts bolted/welded to the chassis mainframe, looks like the recovery points are bolted to the bumper but they are actually structurally secured to the chassis for use with my hand winch.

We shouldn't be getting ourselves into too much trouble, that will require a winch, at the moment as we have 2 kids under 14 months and its not fair on them going hardcore 4x4ing and having their heads flung about; so the front recovery points and hand winch will do for the time being.

They are COR4 Recovery Points, nice solid pieces of kit, but a bit ex-c getting them in from Italy. Also got a COR4 front Diff Guard for a bit of protection.

Thanks for your question,
Dave

Dave I think what you have done here may be worth a separate post and some more photos and details. Very nice. Thanks!

This is mine, did the conversion about two weeks ago,

and there is a pick of the old lady 1965 SWB

Here's my 2001 Td5 sporting new 35's

Pics were taken last weekend, first one on the road to Guthega near Perisher mountain and the others beside Lake Jindabyne where i got to check out clearance with the new tyres. No rubbing on the body or full lock but i will need to trim a small amount off the flares, so pretty happy about that.

Was an awesome weekend to snowboard, Saturday was sunny and had around 20cm of fresh powder, pure bliss!

Nice tyres Mike
I had to remove the lip on the flares to clear my tyres,and also had to flatten the original lip on the guards,and also a small amount of trimming.
I think I had to trim the front of the front flares as well.
I notice in one of the pics that the rear of your RHR flare doesn't look like it is mounted to the guard anymore
How do you like the tyres?
