    The front springs will hold up ok with just the ARB Bar....adding a winch will tip the balance to installing different coils.

    The traction control will surprise you. I used the centre diff lock on the Disco much more than I need to with the Defender.

    Looks great Well done, post some more pics of it when you get the time !!

    If I could afford it I'd have a 110 Wagon for the missus and my 130 Twin Cab for me !! Thats how much I love the look of defenders !!.................for play Id also have a 110 Twin cab in Black...................I was close to purchasing one just cause they look so cool but just not enough room with the tray for my purposes.
