The minions working for me on the project have a hard time believing me when I tell them how much they cost and that they are almost new. However if you point out a new defender they also think they look "old"...

Kids these days eh?

I had a "You mean they're still making those landrovers?" question from someone who should have known better. They assumed that all these more modern looking defenders were just old ones tarted up.:D

It seems NSW has allowed a 2yr grace period for people to get their bullbars checked for compliance (see below). The PDF below gives pretty clear rules on what does and doesn't comply.

Nah I was referring to the roof mounted spotlights however since there quest on targeting the spotlights has kinda failed they have started making a big fuss over the bullbars AGAIN :mad:
After being threw 2 ARB bars on roos the next option was this bar which has already been tested on some ferals and held up perfectly...I know which one I feel safer sitting behind when cruising along stretches of road at midnight...uneducated morons in high positions really frustrates me but dunno what will become of it

BJ42 not 40;)

Rangie, 302 Windsor, C4, G60 transfer and 9" rear way back when

My bad..

They are sought after today..Especially a BJ42 LX!

To each his own, this is an interesting comparison. Defender 110/ 76 series cruiser, Bob

Even with a 4.2 NA they reckon the toyota wins against the puny :D

Interesting thread. I like the Land Cruiser, and the sound of those V8's especially when they have a mandrel bent 3" exhaust! As for the Roo Bar and Spotties... Really??? Who gives a crap!! Each person makes their vehicle their own.. There's that much red tape in Europe it makes for a boring place!! One of the reasons I came here!! Some of us have 101's... and if we really wanted to get picky, would they be legal? Aged lap belts, crap lights, lazy brakes, out of date bar grip tyres on some.. modified rims.. battery in the cab space.. no safety in a crash... Need I go on... Do I care? Nope.. Do I have a silly daft diesel in mine! Hell yeah! Does it go faster than perhaps it used to!! Yup! Am I at fault? Probably! Do I care.. No. Do I love it Yup! Its mine! So, here's the crack, contribute to the thread with some positive stuff, and if you can't, then go back to that padded room! :wasntme:

Yep, so he had a 3L B engine short wheel base landcruiser, bj40 as opposed to the later 3.4L 3B engine bj42...
