Hi Tony

Welcome to Defender world. (I wonder why your Deffie was sold while still a puppy?)

It will be easier for people top give you specific tips if you indicate where you live. In the meantime check in "all the usual places" eg ARB, ORE etc you'll find something to look at I'm sure..

Dual battery systems try the Traxide systems advertised here on site and owned by a participator. They seem popular though no personal experience.

Mate - nice work - do you live in NSW by chance? Blue Mountains? I just know of a Puma that is/perhaps was for sale down there.

The usual suspects will be able to sort you for accessories - but as James points out - it might be a good idea to first really peruse this site and find the stuff you really want - there are rock sliders and rock sliders, if you know what I mean. Again as mentioned above, the traxide dual battery setup is a must - see this site for details.

I hope you enjoy your Defender as much as I am - it is the ultimate Land Rover, I reckon. :)

Welcome Tony!

where can i get rock sliders? Good question, don't know that one
roof rack? ARB, Rhinorack, TJM etc, etc
cargo barrier? Millford, definitely a must have before anything else
duel battery set up? PM drivesafe on the forum, he sells very good and very well priced kits and is a great help. Also talk to him about upgrading the headlight wiring (don't know if it's changed on the 07 Def'er)

[noddy]

Bearmach for rock sliders -- have a look at GreyLandy's

Diff guard? Apparently Graeme Cooper has a sale on at the moment.

Tony,

checked out the sliders from Rovacraft? They have a branch in Mascot but they are the ones I'll add to my Fender. The sliders are solid - i have a friend with them on his 90 and he's more than happy.

Basically the guys get them over from the UK so the $$ may be higher than custom built but they ARE comparable to the major players.

Scorpion Racing - Suppliers of Fast, Extreme On and Off Road Road Products (http://www.scorpionracing.co.uk/)

Rovacraft - Land Rover, Range Rover parts and accessories. (http://www.rovacraft.com.au/)

Have a look at the catalogue and then call the Aussie guys. Not sure who it is in NSW but Stuart in Vic is always ready to help..

[tolinja]

thank you
I will have a look and see.

cant wait till saturday and i get my new defender


cheers
tony
