SupporterI am led to believe that the term came from the Camel trophy mods they did on the Disco.
Plenty of info on it with a search. This will need to be done on any D1 with larger tyres. It is not a hard job and still looks neat. I used a fine disc in the grinder to lop it off.
Cheers, David.

Ah your made it sound that, on the subject of trimming arches is never needed on a defender.
You should try fitting 36" 12.50" to one. They will need a trim then even 35" 10.50" you will need to trim.

My D1 with a 50mm lift is running LR steels with 245/75/16 MTRs and it didn't need a camel cut, but I did have to adjust the steering lock to stop the tyres rubbing on full lock. Hope that helps.
