Show us your Deefers:2

Old thread is closed.
Can't imagine why. Perhaps Defender has become a dirty word. I suppose 8 letters is potentially twice as bad as 4. Anyway I wanted to share with you, the sad tale of Biddy being forced by circumstance, to work on the Railways.

Been doing bits and pieces in the 90. A Naka...something read door soft close strut arrived today with programmable wiper relay. The green circle button is for a built in jumpstarter...from an ozzie company.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210809/92eeed5baa49c1fa8fbab31494233f24.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210809/6ec149a9303d97c6dcc35b73de4505c6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210809/563d7942fcbd916b464beab636e8b473.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210809/2d97e3a8796c07dc6a8c02c15251ae69.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210809/8c96eadd8c59d51d46d907a9f635406d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210809/0d86e31e085fe2ef6f39e27b6981d203.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210809/686621cd7adc1509f2bbd8747d96bcef.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210809/bc22addef9275396cab9ea63fe139647.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210809/433a3b4bbab8912925ee0f0d675ad8a0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210809/f71c9b2148d4ab5f6da4b67162d9b067.jpg

Added the Nakatanenga rear door gas strut. Gamechanger. Door holds open now. Lift the handle and the door glides open by itself.

10 minute job. The air pop riveter I bought this year has been an absolute winner.

Only time I had an issue was when sheer laziness meant leaving in high range. Problem solved by reversing a few metres, finding low range and the continuing on

How did you get the tyre mounted on the bonnet?
I was under the impression that the TD5’s couldn’t have that.

South Aussie company manufacture the bonnet mounts. It’s a full frame that replaces where the bonnet mounts to the car then bolts through holes you need to drill through your bonnet. Not sure if I can name the company so I will send you a pm.

This is not my Land Rover. The wife came across it on line and showed it to me. Wonder if we will ever see a conversion like this done with the latest model of the Defender?

You’re taking the Mickey right?

Some of the nastiest, cheapest, harshest gear on the planet.

Great way to have a failure or rattle the vehicle to pieces.

[shack]

TF are great, I've seen their shocks on a defender last for most of a weekend trip before, not all... But most of it.

The eyelet mounts seem to come off very easily.

[Jesters Td5]

I carry 2 spares with me as easy to fit untul i make the next town otherwise not on or ever on my Defender

This is Winston, he is an 85 Defender county V8, he has been my project for the last 10 months, in no way is he finished but enough that I could get him on club rego and drive him around, since getting him Registered Melb has been suffering massive rains so he hasn’t had his offroad debut. First pic is the day I bought him, he was never going to be a “restoration” build more a make him look good and drive him build

Not me but my daughter. She was out attending to her pony before she headed off the work placement in a hospital. She said she was unable to close the door on the 90 300 tdi as it froze stuck when she did! She closed it while driving.

Stock Td5 Xtreme. Previous owner made a nice little storage box on left rear wheel arch and installed a dual battery set up. I did the racks and awning as a temporary solution until I can afford a nice expedition rack

[shack]

That's a really nice 110, well done!

We just returned from a 3 week trip from Melbourne to Winton (and back) to see the 'Age of Dinosaurs'.

This was camping outside of Charleville. No moon and a fantastic view of the Milky Way.
