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

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

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 !!!

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:





Sorry Pedro... just had to do it...

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

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

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