OK how about a 9000lb winch on a Def90 that hasn't been in low range for 2 years:whistling::whistling:Quote:

I'm not sure how it all worked but this Landie was set up for desert touring & the guy I bought it off wanted 3 independant fuel supply systems so that if a fuel pump died he could keep going, there is a giant fuel filter under the bonnet, so I would assume they all supplied the motor- probably had one way valves.
BTW I only mentioned all this as questions were asked about the dash holes :) I think the concept is solid- if you have the cash to splash :cool:
I don't want to hijack here, so here is the tutorial.

Hmm that remind`s me, got to get my own inappropriate or pointless land rover modification back on the road some time soon. [bighmmm] Been dragging on way to long now.

I'm probably the most inappropriate thing in my Land Rover.....
I've got one. Anyone remember this Defender conversion on top gear. See attached.
Some thing along the same lines.

When I was young and incredibly stupid I may have been guilty of performing the most pointless modification ever to a LandRover. Back in 1971 during a rebuild of my vehicle after a multiple rollover, I was stuck for a couple of weeks with nothing to do while I saved up for some replacement body panels. Anyway with most of the body and the floor panels removed, the gearbox and transfercase were exposed, and as a couple of weeks earlier I had been impressed when I saw a vintage car with a polished aluminium gearbox, I thought it would be a good idea to do the same to the Landy transmission.
After about a week of rubbing and sanding in my spare time I had a gleaming mirror finish on both the gearbox and transfercase that I was so proud of that I was very reluctant to put the floor panels back in when I finally finished rebuilding the truck. What an idiot, and I didn't do drugs then either:confused:
Wagoo.
Hi All
In my early years, I installed a bull horn of the noisy type into a 86".
The district people then used to just look at me with disgust written all over their faces.
Cheers Arthur
When I was a bit younger and half way through a clutch change I thought it would be cool to drive mine with no floor or doors,just a milk crate on the fuel tank.You do silly things like that when your young. PatQuote:
