  4. Hi Guys Excuse my ignorence her on this subject !!!!!! why put a lift kit on a defender. ..... the only thing lifting is the body, your ground clearence stays the same if you keep the standard wheels ..... in my opinion the only wat to increase your ground clearance is to put on bigger wheels,,,,,, Am i wrong in saying this? thanks Regards Richard
  5. western Thanks i see that.... for peace of mind i will make a stand to go at the rear, it just looks to heavy for my liking thanks to all forthe input i really apreciate it Regards Richard
  6. Just another question. if i place beams at the point marked across the body on stands will the back be to heavy and tip? Should i place a stand right at the back as well to be safe. i am a bit concerned as i have no weight in front. thanks in advance regards Richard

  16. Hi Nigelw Thanks for the welcome i am sure i will enjoy. So in that case i think it will not make sence for the extra work on the gearbox fitting the MT82, i will also be keeping the standard wheels on the vehicle i got no reason to change them for what i am going to be using the vehicle for Thanks again and all the best.
  17. Good day to all I have just joind this group and have always wanted a Defender as long as i can remember, well i managed to get a 2000 110 TD5 that is going to be my project over the next few months, i drive a 110 2.2 Puma as a company car, my question is has anybody fitted the 6 speed Puma gearbox to a TD5? and if so what mods had to be done? before i start the work i would like to work out exactly what is needed on the vehicle to ensure everything is done like i want it, it is going to be built mainly for off road use as we do alot of camping. Thanking you in advance for your assistance. Kind regards Richard
