Thread: Show us your Deefers !

Hi TeamFA,
Is it just the photo angle or is your bullbar mounted higher than usual? The headlights look like their beam would be partially obscured.
Looks like you are enjoying your 110 as it should be!

It does look like it's mounted higher than usual, and partially obscuring the lights. I've driven it at night a few times, though, and not had any problems with visibility.

I believe it's the standard LR bullbar, though I'm happy to be corrected. Would it be possible that a previous owner mounted it higher?

Playing in the mud is fun! Before my partner got out and took photos, I went through one puddle that was really deep (at least for me!), the family were watching and expected me to get stuck!

Complete novice at driving off road, though - must find somebody to go and play with. Still not confident in doing things I don't know I can do yet, and don't want to come unstuck while travelling in a single vehicle...

That's a great body fit (ie fitting a 130 tub and extending the cab) great job. Surprisingly I've never seen it done - a really good idea.

Na mate don't think so

One owns an engineering place down at Bell Bay and the other is a diesel fitter who works on tractors

Had a quick look at the bullbar mounting this afternoon, a couple of pictures attached.

Can anybody tell me if this looks like a standard mounting? It looks like there might be some extension pieces in there that move the bar forward and upwards...

Looks like someone's adapted a non-Defender bar to a defender. Not sure what it was made to suit originally - a Troopy perhaps?

I have no idea how to get it from there to here, but I just put a photo of my front chassis / bumper mount (taken at the same angle as yours) in my album. Just visit my profile and look at my pics to see. I have tried to copy/paste the url about twenty times but what would I know from computer box thingummies.

Ahhhh! Not as stoopid as I thunk I was! This is the rhf chassis rail/bumper mount on my car. Looks like yours has been moved forward and up as you suspected.
While I'm at it here is my new toy. '93 200tdi with rear diff locker, Iron man suspension, and 12.5 33 15s. We've had a rocky start in our relationship but we think we can work through it together. My other Land Rover is 40 years older than this one. A 1953 80 inch series 1.
