Looks like this will give me about 80 / 90 liters extra.
The tray builder has to jig up the main part of the tray before he can start looking at fitting to the 130.
If we can't get this tank in I will design and build an Aluminum tank, either way there will be extra space under the tray.
The tray will be 1800 mm x 1800 mm made from dura gal and zinc seal material, then it will be powder coated white.
ARB Albury tell me the bull bar has yet to arrive something about no stock but a production run this week should see a delivery next week.

"I LOVE IT" Took delivery on friday, did the rounds showed me mates, loaded it and headed for Canberra in the morning.
Got my first defender wave today in Queanbeyan.

I plan to travel home via the Long Plain Road, Cabramatta, Corryong and home.

Congrats. Please advise if or not you experience driveline vibration in 6th gear over 90KLm/hr as many 130 owners do. LR not interested blaming accessories - tray, towbar, snorkel etc. Otherwise fantastic machine. Cheers

I have noticed a slight vibration / drive train rattle in 6th, only at about 95 km/h, but my Discovery has the same vibration at the same speeds, loads worse in the Discovery.
If I travel at 90 or 100 km/h it's sweet.
My Disco has always had it, never changed with different tyre's, wheel bearings or uni repairs.
I just put it down to harmonics, a special Land Rover trait.

C & C you know the rules

And I know you have a camera because I saw Mrs Decibelcore using it at Tomakazi's wedding

**dullbird** · 17th March 2010, 10:27 AM

**VladTepes** · 17th March 2010, 10:48 AM

Sure can, watch this space Monday morning, I'm out tomorrow and this weekend using it for what it's intended.

PS
A UHF installed this morning GME TX3440 with remote mic, the unit is mounted behind the cubby box.
Current fuel consumption is 11.6 Liters/100k a mixture of highway and town use.
This weekend will be 600 / 700 km's about 500 bush driving, will be good to see results after that.
