Don't forget your CTIS....

As usual 9 or 10 steps ahead. Cue pictures of a beadlock ring welded in place, and remaining 9 rings just waiting to be installed.

Run at 10 I reckon you will be on the money there... Time for beadlocks?
-
Technically not legal for UK, I believe.

You should be able to swap the drive out of the 1.4 box and it will be the same as it was before?
-
I guess that's what happens when you mess with nature on a large scale - unintended consequences.

The sticky almost felt like plasticine..... Be good to see them with a bit less pressure in them.
-
I think Sid is quite a bit wider than the 110....
-
Gonna be a struggle getting between a trees.... but I suppose you can just drive over them.
-
Agreed.
-
More likely to be a tube frame very lightweight thing...

Well, it is a quattro.... Don't think I haven't though about building a 5 cylinder turbo independent suspension buggy... FWIW it had hydro boost from factory, but too expensive to fix when it went wrong, so runs a normal servo now.

For clarity, those are 225/45/17 on the audi. They look really small.

What do we reckon?

14.18 at the battery is fine, there will be voltage drop between the alternator and battery so you won't see the full 14.5V Other cars have a straight 14V regulator, and charge fine.

And not made of tin foil....
-
Hammer the face flat and weld some new crush tubes in place with a spreader plate on the back. I wouldn't be messing about with it with pullers etc.

Looks like one of these: https://www.lrbits.co.uk/drivelodge-lifting-pop-top-roof-defender-110 However, if I were doing a lifting roof it would have to have the bed in it.

A pic would help.

Thoughts and Musings on the Ineos Grenadier
Bowie69 replied to Bowie69's topic in The New Ineos Grenadier
It's a thing, but the thing is a trap. -
Of course, being in the states, and access to cheap LSs autoboxes and numerous different transfer cases, and the vehicle being a long wheelbase, I wouldn't be putting anything LR based in it.
-
You don't mention budget, but if you have deepish pockets, the Cummins R2.8 is a popular swap in the states, for Jeep and LR.
-
Round here they make sure there's at least a rat or two added for extra body.

Thoughts and musings on the new defender
Bowie69 replied to Jamie_grieve's topic in New Defender Forum (2020 onwards)
My point is, sliding calipers work exceptionally well in reality for a normal road car, for maintenance, price and performance, and do have some inherent benefits, on a race car or a 500BHP 3-ton Range Rover price is not really a consideration any more. -
This is good news, but we desperately need some pic or preferably video once she is not sat on the bump stops Yes, they do, especially when the oil is really hot, you get used to them though. Sounds like your lambda is pretty unhappy, the wide-band makes things so much easier for tuning, if you have an offer of one I would take it.
