Thread: just lovin' it!

Gotta agree JC. Just come back from a trip to Townsville after fitting recoed front RFSV diff with trutrac and recoed MD rear diff - it feels like a new vehicle. The engine is
23k old, gearbox/transfer 10k and the diffs 1k. Absolutely no backlash in the drivetrain - love it

Oh I can't wait to get mine on the road, it sat idle for a long time, then I bought a hoist, best thing I ever did. I'm finally inspired again! Now I'm just waiting on parts(not the bit from you Brian, the many other bits that come before that bit)

Mine has 650K on the engine, about 500K on the rear diff, 150+K on the trans and who knows on the front diff...

BUT, it is tight and just brilliant to drive with a new 4 bolt steering box and recent lower column, DeCarbon shocks and stocker defender springs (130 fronts), and new front and rear shafts, all 1998 model Defender brakes, etc etc.

TBH I drive LOTS of Puma and Td5 models, Chipped and standard , and I just still enjoy mine everytime I get in it

Doesn't even need a turbo to put a smile on my dial, it's just so willing and confident, when you climb into the driver's seat you're suddenly more important yet time doesn't matter because you are in control of your destiny.
It's a cross between a huge bulk carrier or massive locomotive, with a nimble Caterham or Ariel or sports bike.

It isn't a car, its an adventure enabler.

I don't know how people can sell them.


...and various other vain poetic imagery that mere peasants would shake their heads at in misunderstanding.

Bet your glad you didnt move it on then eh JC
Keep looking for the rainbows everyday eh... even if they do rattle your fillings out of ya head!

Yep, gotta agree with all of you. Mine was a bit hard to live with for a while but now it is really getting there. The hardest thing now is driving home from work.... So tempting to just keep going into the hills.
