I agree :5bparty:
Tree sliders getting fitted, also all hinges swapped for stainless/powdercoated ones:
Full safety devices roll cage fitted:
Might be time for some new wheels soon..
do any parts of the "roll cage" attach to the chassis?

6 points..
gosh thats alot of bolt points...also that pipe work has a dent in it which in my book is a structural fail
i would of cut straight sections from chassis through body work without joins.
im sure its ok but i would of cut the body and put the cage in in one piece,who made the cage and fitted it because a bent mount like that is very bad...?....

It's straight. Just a bad picture. I'll try to get a better one on Monday.

Not wrong with that, I would love to have the brass, but short of a lottery win, it ain't going to happen

I guess we'll find out more about what exactly you're up to here when that website comes on stream. Intriguing.
That's a very clean 110 you have there. I guess it won't be quite so spotless by the time you return - once a few rhinos and bull elephants have charged it
Good luck with the project - look forward to hearing more.

Hi Traveler
Great thread and wishing you all the luck on your adventure!
These are the wheels I think I want! Where did you get them please and do you know if they will fit on a 91 90 Defender!
I have drum brakes :-(
Thank you

Thank you.
I got the wheels from Nene Overland. I really can't say that I have any idea about how they'd fit on yours though

They're doing it all. I would love to get my hands dirty, but I'm from New York and outside of being pressed for time, I have no garage available to me anywhere in Europe.
