Nice set up you have there Pricey. What tyres are they on the Defender?
Did you fit the seats or were they with the vehicle when you bought it?

Cheers Larry. Benny IIA was right, they are cooper St's. Good all round tyre I reckon. Cant be bothered with a spare set of rims and tyres for off roading and the coopers are a good compromise. They are the most aggressive or off road based of the all terrain type tyre in my opinion and no where near as noisy as a muddy on the highway.

Im based in Albury and bought the Stratos seats from Opposite Lock in Wodonga. The girlfriend is a lot happier now. The only problem Ive had with them is that Im fairly tall and the bases are a bit higher than standard reducing sideways vision a little. That said the benefits of not getting a crook back or sore ass far outweigh the slightly reduced vision.

Very neat Defe!!

And thanks Chucaro. My you do get around dont you?? Enjoyed your thread on Ideas for your expedition defender and have even emailed Drew at wrights off road regarding the sound deadening floor mats. So cheers for your advice.

Pricey.

Welcome dude,,,,nice looking rig alright,,,,

I've done quite a few miles out that way,,,its all good territory out there,,,(used to camp every year at Holloways Mill xing at Easter,,nice spot)

Anyway,,Im up that way at home for 4 days from Sat,,, dont forget to wave,,,,

Enjoy the trip chops. Very jealous.

Oh forgot some other stuff

Also have installed

A tacho!
Cruise control (awesome on long drives)
Sony stereo and custom made 6x9 speaker boxes (some fine dodgy carpentry there)
A board thingy in the back between the wheel arches (I store plastic boxes underneath)
An ARB turbo timer
A plethora of 12volt accessory plugs (5 xtra at last count)
And an Engel battery monitor (I know, that makes two but Im paranoid because I dont have a battery isolator - can run the fridge off both batteries and have a low volt cut out - trial runs indicate I can run the fridge for up to 8 days without starting the car - And the battery(s) charges up nearly 5 times faster with no isolator)

Things I want to add to olaf (and no I didnt name the car, a friend is responsible)

Some sort of power upgrade (am considering diesel gas at the moment)
A roof rack (maybe - I tow a camper most of the time so can fit much of the excess gear here)
A second sill tank (long ranger 55L in the left hand sill)
A water tank (on the floor of the passenger area)
A HF radio (or maybe sat phone - it'll just be me a the missus next year round oz)
and assorted other stuff.

Thanks for the comments people. See you out landrovering.

What cruise control did you install? Did you do it yourself?

Any pics ?
