they are :

airbag compatible ARB bull bar - yes, though some not according to JC's post
full length roof rack - yes
tow bar - no
long range fuel tank - my feeling was it wouldn't but Will reckons it would. any other responses?
corner/saddle fuel tank - same as above
front and rear diffs with tru-tracs - yes
5 spoke rims - no



thanks.

thanks for replies everyone. i hardly ever pull the laptop out so check things on my iphone which for all intents and purposes is too small to be doing too much typing/replying on.

i've updated what i believe to be the answers. jury seems to be out on the fuel tanks. any follow ups on these?

Thanks, that's very interesting to know. You see D1 diff centres on ebay for as little as $20 where D2 diff centres are around $200. If they are the same people can save some coin and get the D1 diff.

Now if only my D1 Maxi Drive axles would fit:mad:.

Fuel tanks are not interchangable between the D1 and the D2, unless you cut the front bracket off the chassis and weld on new mounts to suit. We have done this before when fitting a TD5 to a D1 chassis, using the D2 tank and pump - quite a job.

Just to clarify, when i said the D1 tanks could be made to fit the D2 i meant, they could be 'fitted' would require customs brackets and some chopping around, also the pump from the D2 would need to be fitted, but i doubt they wouldn't require modification, would be much easier to sell the D1 tanks and start again, the term fitting though can apply to anything, as in most things could be made to fit (essentially just a custom job), the context i used it in was as if a fitter and turner was to do it, or whatever.

Physically they will fit into the space once the front bracket has been removed.

Will a D1 B pillar fit a D2?
My D2 had a rest on it's roof.
What about a D1 drivers door for a D2

I'll let someone more informed clarify, but AFAIK the actual body structure of the A and B pillars and the door internals, are still classic Range Rover in a D2, so technically you could cut and shut the bits together AFAIK, theoretically the doors should fit, but they won't line up in the panel dpartment as they have a different skin. Why don't you just order the proper parts form a wrecker, they may even do a part excahnge for your D1 parts, but i think you'd have to be an idiot to try and make a D1 door work on a D2 as it will end up lookign stupid and will need to be hacked about a bit to fit i would imagine.
