You can fit alloys and they look good on a hard working truck. If you fancy the look go for it. I had steel wolf rims on a previous truck and the paint never seems to last on them. Freestyle alloys should fit your truck but might not be able to fit the centre caps if you have the taller drive...

If you are in a defender you won't be at speed. If you are that worried drive a freelander, they have crumple zones.

An approximate location - Horsham Area Vehicle and tyre type - Defender 110 DCPU Diagnostic kit available - make/ model and for what vehicle/engine - None Towing,Recovery,Trailer -Tow rope, Solid Bar, 14ft Flat bed Ifor Williams with ramps Tools - Basic Spanners parts availability from either...

Don't know if I would qualify for this as a new member, I am in the Gatwick area, have a 14ft Ifor Williams trailer, TD5 DCPU, ropes, tow bar, shovels, jack, basic tools. Would be interested to help within reason.

As a newbie, but someone who has owned defenders since I passed my test, 2008 I have always had a 110. I had a brief flirt with an 88 but although swb are more nifty off road they are not a lot of cop for carrying things. Current truck is a 110 td5 DCPU and I LOVE it! I 100% see what you mean...

Part time tree surgeon in the South East, yes I do it for a hobby, no I'm not a pikey. :) Based in Horsham/Gatwick area will be happy to help if I can.

Timidly commenting as new here:) Would definitely recommend Turner engineering for recon bits, not sure if they do TDV8 tho - regarding other recon businesses, there is a minefield of sh## out there... Wife is from Leicester and would recommend Farriers Land Rover and Jaguar in Glenfield. Long...

Been Lurking for a while...Based in the South East, not a million miles from Gatwick, Currently have a 110 DCPU Td5, just sold a much loved/hated 300tdi Hicap I had had for the last 10 years.....
