I hope all your bad luck is gone & your truck is looking real good..

jock your car is looking like a beast mate you done a great job building it up:)

Looks great. :cool:

Very nice suspension set up and love the black al/cheq plate on the bonnet!
What springs+shocks combo are you running and what height did your defender end up at?(am hoping to still fit in the garage) I have a 02defender with std suspension and a set off 255/85r16 the same as yours but am looking to do my suspension soon as it's sagging at the front from the b/bar weight.
Thanks

SO glad you recovered from the series of mishaps...think you can stop on the reno's to the truck now though mate ......I think it's done ...and some,! you have done a stonkingly great job It is an amazing endeavour, And I think it looks the ducks mate.
What you should do now is get some sponsorship from the companies you used to recoupe some of your hard earned lol:cool:

I'm running Dobison coils with Boss Adjustable shocks. Which are rubbish and will soon be replaced with a new set of Bilsteins

It also has a set of dislocation cones in the rear and 3" extended front brake lines

Over all it has about a 45mm lift from standard

The joy of a Defender mate; it will never be done :p

Still got more plans for it... :twisted:

Trying to sound proof it a bit, it's a bit noisy with the 3 inch exhaust.

I made up a head liner for the back and fitted sound insulation between it and the roof

Redid the rubber in the back. I put an engine in the back the other day and the engine mounts ripped all the old stuff

Fitting this sub tank today, will post up more photos tonight

Also found this water tank, which will be going in once me and the boilermaker at work have finished the rear bar/step after the New Year
It fits in the rear quarter on the drivers side
