to be honest mate, insurance has risen dramatically in the last 2 years. the farmers union used to be dead cheap for insurance especially for land rovers, but i tried them and theyve pretty much got wise to it. im 27 and have 1 non fault accident in the last 5 yrs and 2 driving offences and...

ye ive fixed an inch square wooden block to the roof over the top of each strap end using adhesive (silkaflex) and then screwed through the strap and into the wooden block. this means that the strap is secured in place and can be pulled taut through the strap hoops and tensioned at the front...

16 Trucks RC Trail Scale Adventures at Devils Backbone Land Rover Defender D90 Axial Wraith Highlift - YouTube just watched this vid of a miniature expedition. really like the one with the trailer

im doin this to my 110 van but without the 3rd passenger seat. just gona have a couch the full length of the loadspace, over the right hand wheelarch. and a cupboard system on the left hand wheelarch. and a section of ply that fits in between the two to make a double bed. its more complex...

ive seen these before but didnt realise how many there were, and how popular the defender is in the radio control rock crawler crowd. also some good ideas for paintjobs and accessories on here n how theyd look in real life. 1.9 Land Rover Gallery! - Scale 4x4 R/C Forums

you wouldnt even need to do that. you can put the front section in, then put the rear section in, then put the middle section in overlapping the front and rear.

ye i wouldnt mind a fume curtain type thing made from this aswell, but dont wana buy the whole kit to just use one panel. think ill just get some heavy black curtain or somat. post yer pics when ur done, n gime a shout if u need to ask nefin

if that doesnt work try some cheese, and as a last resort rub some onion in it too

thanks for the tip. all tucked in now i gave the wooden blocks a wiggle this morning after leaving them overnight, and they came right off. evo grip isnt good enough. so im gona try silkaflex instead. gave the back wall another coat of paint, and my moms gona sew me the curtain. ive...

haha ye ye i need to take that off. it started life as an airport vehicle, used to tow a beacon trailer at blackpool airport and when they wanted to pack it away they lifted it into the vehicle backwards and hooked up the internal tow bar to secure it. easier than ratchet straps i guess.

youll be glad to know that the sides are meant to roll up when required, so just fit it the same as mine but leave the bottoms unscrewed, or use a hook system for the bottom. there are straps at the top of the sides so you can roll the matting up and strap it up there for when you need use of...

as im building a camper/weekender out of my hard top one ten, i was going to use loft insulation and thin ply to build a roof and side walls like i would if i was doin a panel van conversion. but thankfully the good old british army have saved me the job and i happily bought a WOLF RADHAZ...

and as for water gettin in, i did have a problem with water getting into the passenger footwell, but sorted that now, it was the window frame seal. noticed when i did have the leak that the mat kept all the water in a puddle, as its kind of got a little brim round the edge of the mat so none...

sorry mate i didnt measure anything with real numbers. just made the template out of loadsa a4 paper and some newspaper sheets. ive chucked that now. i just laid it out on the carpet i bought then cut round with a stanley knife. it aint hard to make the templates, just takes a litte time...

i intend on keepin the rubber floor mats in place but i carpeted under them anyway to reduce noise. also i got some mud on the side of the tunnel carpeting by accident, i just let it dry and brushed it out with a small dustpan brush thing. the carpet is tougher than it looks, its kind of...

might make a tunnel tray with cupholders this week. bit of plywood cut to shape, with 3 bolts coming up from each cupholder and a ring section of steel welded on top. should finish it off nice if i paint it all black

heres the pics:- pedal box drivers side passenger footwell seatbox floor behind seats tunnel

my land rover is a hard top one ten. so it came with a poxy white headliner in the cab, a grey rubber tunnel cover, and some foam backed vinyl seatbox covers. all were in a bad state and the bare floors were covered only by some old LR rubber mats. i was pretty much set on buying the exmoor...

they rotate through 90 degrees only. but cant swap the position of the wipers or orientation in any way. the drivers side wiper wheelbox is to the far right of the bulkhead in front of the steering wheel so no room to the right hand side to swap the wiper arm onto that side. i was thinking...

bought a brand new td5 wiper motor with park switch wheelbox cable, swapped wheelbox cable out and fit the whole lot. now works perfectly at both speeds but park in the upright position instead of laying flat. is there any way of calibrating the park switch, or is the td5 wheelbox assembly...
