I got the new toy :-)

[Bytemrk]

Well brought the new toy home tonight :clap2:

Looks like a weekend of bolting bits back on from the old one... and probably chipping it in the next couple of weeks.

Going to miss my old V8 .... but I think this should take away the pain:

[Tombie]

So what spotties are you replacing the basic IPF's with?

I'm still awaiting a Monte Carlo Blue one to reappear on the forum with a repaired transmission;)

Interested in a set of Simex Jt`2s ?
Cheers Dean.

:Rolling::BigThumb: Moi....Just briefly of course.

[Bytemrk]

Hi Tombie, to tell you the truth I don't yet know.

I am really starting my research now, my mechanic has his missus chipped and highly recommended it... but I am yet to discuss with him what chip he would suggest. I really trust him as he has always done the right thing with my previous care.. so interested in his thoughts...but figured i better get educated before i have those discussions.

I figured I would do some serious research here before going there.

and Yes.. you are already already on my short list :p.

Cheers, Mark

Thanks Dean - always interested.. but haven't got the finance right at the minute... once I get a few other things sorted need to work out the Rubber budget ;).

No worries Mark,
the Simex of which I speak r 245/80 Jt`2s so great traction & no gaurd cutting:). So when u get the rubber budget sorted & u wish 2 talk turkey, Im all ears;).
Cheers Dean.

[Urban Panzer]

How much are they over there?


About £1000 "ish" :(

[Narangga]

About £1000 "ish" :(

OUCH! over AUD$2100 :o:o:o

Back in May I was quoted $1400 in Darwin so they would be a bit cheaper in the southern capitals.

[Urban Panzer]

yeah i know, ripp off UK as usual

Go here and go into the Disco 2 bits, and look at the ARB bumpers, you will see for yourself

[Disco44]

Mine was $1200 air bag compatiable

That said, you guys get a lot of other stuff a lot cheaper than over here. Especially if you have a defender...doesnt appear to be as much stuff for D2s. Maybe people dont see them as offroad beasts over there?

To be fair your probably right, the D2 is only just really becoming an offroad toy, most spend their lives in the Urban Jungle.

The stuff available for the D2 is getting more readily available now, hence I keep spending money lol. Still like the price of ARB bumpers over there, I would have one in a shot !!!

Hey Pedro, those IPF's came of over the weekend.. and my IPF 900's went on... looks even better :D

Also got the Bilstein shocks and steering damper back in as well as recovery points and UHF antennae. As well as a couple of minor engine bay fix ups... replaced the split tube on a couple of cables etc.

(I know.. didn't happen without pics ..... flat camera battery :mad:

I did enjoy just tinkering with the new beast..hopefully I'll get a chance to go play next week end :angel:
