It's possible, but it would be a lot of effort. Talked to Dave at Ashcofts and Ian, Porny, about this a couple of months ago and conclusion was that it would be a lot less effort and potentially less costly to fit a Compushift.

Are you able to bolt it to the walls Tony?? If so I've found the cheap shelving from Ikea, Aldi etc works well. If it needs to be free standing, then spending some money on a more robust metal shelving would be worth it in my opinion.

What size tyres do you have?
I have Gwyn Lewis rear mounts, 1" lift, OME N73 shocks, and Wolfs with ~4.25" backspace and no fouling with 33" BFG's. I reckon I could get away with 35's with this set up, but no more.
Steve
Given this I'd put stock Land Rover 110 springs all round. You could fit LR shocks too (or equivs) or upgrade to a gas shock like a DeCarbon which are very good on road.
As for bushes I'd replace with standard LR ones again. If you really want poly, the SuperPro seem to have best reputation.
If springs and shocks haven't been changed in a long time, then factor in replacing front shock turrets, retaining ring and chassis spring mounting plates. Also factor in cutting off shock bolts
Then you can leave the suspension alone again for 8-10 years ;)

That's good, with the NAS receiver it's easy to make up something.
If you only need one fuel jerry can you could still make two holders, just put a 20l water can in the other. It would be possible to make it hinged too, so that you don't need to unbolt it to drop down the lower tailgate.
I wouldn't have thought it would cost much to have this fabricated.
Steve
I thouht about this on my old P38. What I thought of doing was having a L-shaped bracket fabricated to fit the rear Type III receiver and then bolt two Jerry can holders to it. It would be secured by normal receiver bolt. The idea was to make it strong enough to have a recovery ring in it too at the right angle point.
You'd have to unbolt to fold down lower tailgate, but otherwise you could access rear area through upper tailgate. I felt it was a cheap and easy solution, that was easily removed when not needed. Also should act as deterrent to people tailgating you!! ;)

You might want to renew all gaskets, or replace with a good gasket sealant. Check sealing of solenoid and also remove a check speed sensor to make sure all is intact and the fit it again as per instructions once you have installed od.
There's a tech archive article too on the gkn od. It's straightforward though.
Steve
I suppose it's then a choice between the XP or XDC. XP has faster motor, but XDC has better contactors, sealing and IIRC has heat overide sensor.
So if you can live with a few feet per minute and the price is ok compared to XP, it looks like XDC. If you want the speed and are happy to fit an Albright when the Warn solenoids give up, then it's an XP.

30 will be too low for AT2's on an RR.
Try about 35-36 in front and try the chalk test when you have time to see that you are getting good even wea.

personally, none. I think the current crop of Warn lowline winches are all overrated and over priced.
If I was purchasing a lowline, it would be a Goodwinch TDS 9.5 first, and Superwinch EP9.5 second
personally, I think 3-links work really well off road.
Safari Guard is expensive for what it is. There are a few chaps on here that have done a 1-link that works really well. Basically a reverse A frame.

IIRC it has a different sump arrangement and altered tune. So if you have original engine for sump etc and putting on LR maps should be possible it should be ok.
