The result of MAN shopping!!

[lardy]

I just received 36.5 kilo of Land Rover parts aka a ****load ..!!
I think I may be a little busy this weekend and the drama is - where the hell to start ?
At least my stuff I ordered through AULRO never turned up saves me doing that job as well! phew one less job to worry about!!
I have a MUD console and Carling switches,
Also a RAPTOR Binnacle great no more bits falling off as it gets heat fatigued.
Also DEFENDERVENT from MUD u.k. which gives you a larger Vent and the ability to clear the fogged side windows you get in winter or when it rains.
Oh and also I got Terrafirma big bore expedition Shocks these come from DLS and a massive thanks to my mate ( and director of the company) whom I shipped all the other stuff too and he got me a good deal on shipping it on to Australia as one consignment saved me a fortune that way,still heaps of cash but you take the rough with the smooth it's a land rover thing!!!

I've got the terra firma shocks too, I found the front bushes a pain to fit though

[5teve]

The front bushes are fine but before you fit them file a chamfer on one outer edge on each bush. This allows them to sit in the cup better and allows you to get the bottom nut on nicely...

Something i thought of while swearing quite loudly at them... :D

You must have missed them by a whisker I know Kevin went on holiday about that time (same time as I ordered mine) but as mine was going U.K. internal to DLS then being re-packaged to Australia as a job lot I recieved mine, I can only assume you may have been a bit later than myself.
You will get it shortly I should imagine they are legendary usually.

As if that could be the case!
Nothing could be further from the truth one was simply suggesting that women possible have different values when considering a purchase where as possibly the male may be more basic in his approach : pretty lights,goes fast, is dirty,is tough, is dirty, is dirty, is dirty all attributes to a males shopping ideaology xx

I Bevelled the edges of the bushes very slightly so they sat better in the cups and only used one cup at the underside of shock mount. I did weld a washer over the existing hole here as it was elongated too much. This may have contributed to the struggle I had to get the nut started on the shock absorber.
They also gave me the wrong springs, see pic


I'm very happy with their performance though

I just picked up my Mud Pod. Thing of beauty! Looks great in a D1 and far better than the twin pod I could have bought four of for the same price.

[5teve]

Do they do the do Stev'o?

They are firm... but then i have no weight on them... and the kings are a bit firmer too.. but when she is loaded up... its getting close to being as smooth as the DII we have... very nicely damped and not fidgety..

AS for the weight... well a drawer system will be going in at some point and dual batts and everything else.. so it should help.. if not i'll replace the kings with something softer and longer...

you must of missed my post number 8....

After looking at the Raptor one that invaded the little amount of space a Defender does posses I went for the MUD console As it allows you to stash stuff also mount switches without a major invasion on air flow ...important to those with no aircon.
I am looking forward to the installation of the steel binnacle cowling to have one that does not fall aprt in your hands should be a hoot
