    Defender 90 Suspension Question

    Thanks, Paul; it's in the workshop next week and I'll grab those pix then and post. This Defender is very much a second vehicle and will have limited road use plus a little off-road on our farm. I know only too well the fuel 'economy' of such an oil burner, the constant oil weeps et al; but...

    Defender 90 Suspension Question

    This is a very good point you make on the possibility of a geometry change and I hadn't thought of that. Appreciate any other comments around this technical point. Thanks.

    Defender 90 Suspension Question

    Land Rover 90 Soft Top Build

    Hi @rrb7 Just wondering how your project is coming along? After a hiatus of a few years, I'm now getting back in to Landy ownership and acquired a Defender 90 300TDI which I'll be converting to a soft-top. TBH, I'm struggling to find a cost-effective solution to a roll-cage + hoops; the SD...

    Love this soft-top conversion! One question I have is about the roll-cage; is this a 'full' roll-cage and who makes it? Thanks.
