    First offroad attempt

    Being fair it is marketed as a sports utility vehicle so can't expect to much in the way of outstanding 4wd capability but should be a good all rounder

    fixing in my mud flaps

    Locking grips? Used them and also hacksaw to make a groove Make the hammer bounce on them first to loosen all the crud built up. That's one downside to everything being made out of plastic. No solid panels they all flex

    Why is it a drill always breaks 5 minutes before the job is finished :(

    Being honest I don't have hid's but they certainly look cool. Especially on a defender makes it look a lot more modern if that's the look your going for. Looking good overall
