I can see why you went for it, looks a great bit of kit.
I will add cb mount to the long list of stuff I need doing when I'm actually home and have time

Yeah its really well made, proper quality product. Though soon I'll be drilling holes in it left right and center for the various battery cable, live feeds, earth feeds, aux jacks and what ever else I can think of!
I just dropped them an email asking if they have ever thought of doing a slimline version, see what they say!

Never bothered doing any comparisions but it is 100% noticable!
I cannoy f ucking stand Defender brakes!
Went to change the caliper with the sheered bleed nipple. Low and behold the union has started to round!
Last time I had to reflare the bloody thing which took all day.

Im happy doing most jobs, brake unions i cannot stand! The whole point of sending it to the garage to have the work done was so i wouldnt have to deal with this sh it.
agree, done some a few years back on the hippo, bloody flares kept snapping
so got someone in to sort them out ,

Thing is theres no where local I actually trust to sort it. The Kwik Fit near by isnt bad, guys are pretty decent in there but the rest of the garages a bloody awful I wouldnt trust em to do landy work like this, last thing I want is for a £115 quote turning into £400 again!
Given up for tonight, my mate gave the number of a place that makes up SS braided lines, I'm thinking replace all the solid lines on the rear, then I can do away with the bastard LR unions.

Ahh cheers! I didnt know you could get them pre-flared! Last time I checked it was just some bloody pipe and you had to supply your own flaring tool!
Either way now I know it exists maybe I'll be able to find just the pipe I need!
But he's got a 110

Cheers! Very helpful! Though they don't appear to have any for a 110 with ABS! I'm thinking I might just use the goddamn flaring tool, if I f uck it up then I'll get a braided line made up!
Got some internal fit wind deflectors pretty cheap and instantly smarten up any Defender imo, plus they serve a useful purpose!
Also drilled a hole in the MUD Locker for the CB audio out, Idea is I'll keep a long 3.5mm audio cable in the MUD locker and plug it into the head unit when its needed.
I did find some interesting landys while I was out and about in the countryside!
6x6 RCC Fire Engine, looks like it was a fire engine for the local (now abandoned) airfield and a V8 Ninety sadly had some pretty extreme rot everywhere
Single Cab Pick Up with a chunky bull bar! Needs it by the amount of roadkill dear I saw -
On the way out I saw a few more but couldnt get pics. Looked like a top spec customised TDCI 90, TD5 110 tipper, 2 more RRCs and a couple P38s plus a pile of chassis, bulkheads, wings and what have you. All very spread around near a shooting range was odd
