Around Australia Touring Defender Build

Toxic
Do an aulro google search on super pro bushes
They are a great duro and beat oe rubber hands down
The chassis to radius arm bushes even flex more than oe
Don't confuse sp bushes with nolathane branded or poly bush branded gear

As Dave said, discussed to death on here over many, many years and almost universally praised.

I've been running one pair of SP bushes in the back of the Deefer for near twelve years and 240,000km and are still functioning fine, and with better articulation than the OE lower trailing arm to chassis bush.
Most all others have been progressively replaced with SP bushes since.

Just the new video for my rear door table install I did a few months back.

Great thread. I'm looking forward to your trip.

Good stuff, as always

Great build mate.

Wow! That is some amazing work. Makes me feel the need to sell my D2a and get a defender for sure!
Let me know if your keen on a swap!! :wasntme:

A pleasant surprise this afternoon :D After waiting over a month my set of Koni Raid 90 shocks have arrived. There were no rears in stock in Australia so some were ordered from Holland, made personally for me... ;)
These are seriously heavy. Nearly strained my back lifting them off the ground. The picture doesn't do them justice... they are HUGE!

:cool: I found them way too soft on the factory rebound setting and recently adjusted mine to max rebound. Handled sand dunes and corrugations 1000% better and are in no way over adjusted.

Not saying do the same but be prepared to adjust them to get it just right. Shame you have to pull them out to adjust:(

Thanks mate. How much weight do you typically carry?
