Hi All,
after selling 4 years back two DCPU because I was completely tired of owning a Defender, the sickness came back and picked up this one.

At a certain point the youtuber Jon Olsson owned, some videos of it are out there.
Overall the car condition is great, 37k miles and runs well.

Or that's what I thought:

#1
It is undrivable.
Initially I imagined due to these Trepadors at the end of their life and the overall suspension system that must messed up.
Above 40/50kph the steering wheel starts having a death wobble.

#2
The lift and tyre setup, was done purely for aesthetic purposes.
Nothing was reinforced or upgraded to sustain the weight of the tyres and the new lift.

#3
I'm going to have to open the transfer and gearbox box due to the clonking during gear changes.
Will open the diff and tyre axles to see what is broken.
 
In this first video you can see why I think the tyre axles might need work:


and here in the second why the diff needs to be opened and investigated
