    Raptorising my 6x4 Landy

    great, thanks guys! I bought 20L of Raptor since 1L should do about 3 square meters. 2 Questions: 1- As I started working through it I identified 2 bits that have rusted on the bulk-head. One is right at the edge of bulk-head and windscreen - how do you suggest to fix it? Second is in the...

    Hey guys, Next month I will be stripping down my 6x4 1995 land rover defender and repaint it the bodywork outside, the underseal and the interior of the bodywork in UPOL Raptor. Since I am using the car in the ‘bush’ here in Ghana and I will be overlanding in the near future, this bedliner...

    Security on hinges and hood

    @AI2O3 what do you mean by Merkin hood? Honestly here they wouldn't steal the hood/doors but the car altogether - I am putting a few securities just in case.. @bluebeasty what do you mean by the second one? the door hinge on ebay or the ones for the hood? Cheers, Simone

    Defender overhaul: new seals

    Heya, After going through the whole parts book for body and chassis I think I identified pretty much all the parts I should change whilst stripping the car (about 20 parts). For the front door can you confirm that is just the weatherstrip and door sill seal? Mine currently has a 3rd seal as...

    Defender overhaul: new seals

    Thanks much - i have left a message to Mike on his youtubechannel. During rainy season it does rain cats and dogs or better suited for where I am: 'lions and giraffes'! Besides the ones mentioned any other seal that I should replace whilst I am stripping the car for the paint-job?

    Security on hinges and hood

    nice idea! I would still prefer to go with the security bolts - more than being worried for them nicking the doors or bonnet, I wouldn't want them to get in the car/engine as easily :)

    Security on hinges and hood

    Hello guys, I would like to replace the bolts on the hinges and hood since the ones i have are the standard one that any fool with a screwdriver can take out - do you have any that you can recommend? please confirm also the size needed for a 1995 Defender Thanks so much, Simone

    Hey all, I bought my Landy (110 Defender converted to 6x4 by Carmichael) on auction and I have only one key - I would like to duplicate it to avoid regrettable incidents :) What do you recommend? does it have to be special key or can I just give it to a shop that duplicates keys and let them...

    Jack and axle stand capacity

    Hey all, I am going to park Wheely for a couple of months as I travel back to Europe. It will be in the company parking lot, so safe but no one will move it around, so I was thinking of placing it on axle stands, hence 3 questions: 1-I'll need to buy a jack to lift it - what weight capacity...
