Thread: oh how much they change

Here's mine June last year..



And now...



Safari Snorkel, IPF's, ARB steel Bar, warn winch (9000lbs), Dual Batteries, Maxxis Bighorns 245/75r16, Uniden UHF + aerial, 2 inch iron man lift, New water pump and casing (haha had some fun with that..) and much more to come, looking into a 1 or 2 inch body lift and then maybe some 33's when the current tyres wear out... also cones and detachable sway bars in the very near future + straight through exhaust.

I felt inspired to do a then (Feb 2008) and now too ...





Paint job, Defender wheels, Goodyear SSG (Studded Sure Grip) 7.50 16 tyres, Camel Trophy-style roo bar, roof rack, winch, Hella lamps, snorkel ...

wow man that first paint job was gorgeous, is it just the pic or actually how the car was?? it sure has changed alot! what did you do with your original rims?

It really was that glossy. Most people who saw it said I was mad to respray it, and to a matt colour at that.
But the CT replica was the whole reason for buying it.
The alloy wheels are now fitted with road tyres.

Well this is how he looked when i picked him up... well he was a lot cleaner! but this is what you have to do when you mate calls you saying he is bogged in his lux . Was my first trip out in the 4x4 was brilliant plenty of mud.

Well he is a 98 D1 300 Tdi manual. had standard open country A/Ts TJM Winch Bar 20/20 Spots and a Safari snorkel. And lastly a camel trophy bonnet decal





And this is what he looks like now . Nothing to major just Tinted windows, Larger mud flaps, same bar, same spots (have a new pair to put on the top of the bar soon) 2" Lift with Dobinson springs and lovelle shocks, 245/75R16 Maxis Bighorns...with the same rims painted black. Same bonnet decal and a GROVER sticker on the windscreen, Safari snorkel. And i had both mufflers removed to give him the beefy tone




He has also earned a lot of respect in my family and friends
