Great looking car mate

povman, sure is looking good!!!
What's the OME lift - 50mm, and what size tyres are you running?
And what about the bash plate, is it from OL?
Great job!

Thats looks VERY nice...

Did they tighten up the Defender Bullbar? I am sure the ARB one on my 90 stuck out further than that....New one looks better...

picking up my bar in 9 sleeps,,,,,,,,,,,,, also have a old set of ipf extremes, to go on it ,,are there any fitting issues/ clearance etc etc????

PS;; get some dirt on it

[povman]

G'day guys, the lift actually bought each wheel guard up between 60 and 65mm all round. Pretty happy with that...Tyre size is 265/75/16 km2's. Bash plate is from rovercraft and no clearance issues with the spotties at all..Don't know if you realise def90, but this is the new ARB design bullbar, released a couple of months ago so it's a bit more rounded off than the last one..

Cheers,
Povman.

P.s, She will be muddy in no time!!!!!! Ha ha..

Who did all the work on yours. Just brought a Puma, picked it up yesterday. Noticed that you have OME suspension Do you have any vibration problems or angles differences on the prop shafts.

Povman, no i didnt know it was a new design, definitely looks better...rounded and seems to have better approach angle now its in a bit closer?
Well done on putting together an awesome defender!

Congrats on the new Puma, you will catch the Puma fever soon!!!!! ha ha..
I got everything fitted at ARB, they fitted caster correction spaces so haven't noticed any vibration from prop shaft as yet!

I am also interested if you have any noise or vibration with this lift. I did the same lift on mine when I first bought it and the thing sounded like an old traction engine at 90kms an hour when coasting and the vibration was a shocker. Had to put it back to standard hight then fit 130 front springs to compensate for bar and winch weight. I wonder if the later props are different. Looks fantastic though, great job, I hope all is well
