Tubeless tyres on 130 tubeless rims.

Are the tyres , the Michelin off road specials?

Yes.
Yes.
Michelin XZL 7.50R16C.

PC3, those rims of yours are labelled "Steel Heavy Duty" in the options list of UK Defenders. They are standard on vehicles aimed at hard work ie all 130s and pickup spec 110s. Pickup and hard top spec 90s have a lighter duty wheel with a slightly different pattern.

They obviously look very very similar to Wolf wheels but the wall thickness on a genuine military Wolf wheel is immense and they weigh an absolute ton (not really but you get the idea!).

Cheers!

Looking at getting one myself in September this year. Are you happy with yours? Have you had any dramas with it?

Hi nathangee,

I picked mine up in April and the only annoying thing was an unusual problem according to landrover, the door lock surrounds would pop up and sometimes out altogether when I unlocked the door with the remote. Took it in and they seem to have fixed it and replaced the one I lost!
Very happy with my dealers service department.

If you understand what you are buying, ie, a sometimes quirky vehicle and your needs are met by a deefer, I would highly recommend them. I'm really happy with mine and can't wait to finish the fit out for the trip up north in August/Sept.

Just a couple of pics from our picnic/ drive to Mt Carbine FNQ.
Enjoyable drive and a beautiful hide away!!
Cheers

G'day Everyone,

We need a favor, anyone have photos of how they have set up their 130 in the rear tray, We are currently contemplating changing from the 110 Wagon to a 130. Their are some great rigs out their and I would be great for photos of what you have done and modified.

May get to pick my 130 up tommorow the tray builder will get it painted hopefully. I have hound cages built in to mine but there good for locking gear up when not carrying dogs. I have opted for a 2.2 metre tray this was a big draw card for me the fact you can have decent tray on the rover dual cab compared to the jap twin cabs

Come to the Fender meet up day on 27 June in Bulleen.

Some well set up 130's will be there including one that did a Russia trip last year
