  1. Thats nice B) I presume it's 3 flat plates of steel welded together ? I want it to look as much like the standard bumper as possible but i like that tappering bit B)
  2. Im after some ideas for a winch bumper for my defender I'm going to be fabricating it myself and want some inspiration Lets see yours B) How thick steel should i use ? 6mm OK ?
  3. I think 10 of those will do the job nicely, should be cheaper than the rail stuff
  4. I like those eyes B) They would lie flat and yet be big enough to get a rope / bungy/ ratchet through. Do they rattle about though ? Two ideas so far eyes rails any others ?
  5. I like those ideas any other ideas before i start spending
  6. Just added the date to my diary, i'll be going, may get some plamsa, depends on how cheap and no fruity, i'm not going on a wild goose chase again for you
  7. Ouch that looks nasty Glad everyone was ok
  8. I can hear the radio perfectly well in my rattly diesel defender Thats only because i have two speekers about 8" away from my ears
  9. Just about to go out laning today for the first time in 13 months
  10. I'm after ideas for some lashing points in the rear tub of my defender lets see what you've got and are they any good
  11. B) Excellent I've got one of those fantastic disk handbrakes so no problems with the brackets
  12. I presume the 1.2 box is a straight swap for a 1.4 box ? or did land rover in their wisdom make them completely different
  13. Thanks for the offer, but i've got it sused now, from Marks program i just wanted to see how much difference the transfer box and tyre size makes just need to find the money, parts and time
  14. Well after playing with the numbers, changing to a disco lt230 and 33" tyres may be a bit too high geared I'll see what difference the bigger tyres make first before deciding on changing the box
  15. 235/85r16 , R380 box and 1.4 transfer
  16. Don't suppose you know the R380 ratios ?
  17. cheeky i want to make it do more than 60 comfortably
  18. Thats the one now i can work out how to make my landy go a bit quicker B)
  19. I'm trying to find a computer program and i'm sure someone in here had it It's the one for working out speeds in each gear for different gear box / diff ratios and tyre sizes Anyone know where i can find it tar very muchly
  20. Somthing like this should do the trick
  21. All the bushes were changed a few months before i bought the donor vehicle (june) with standard landy rubber and I removed the boge when i rebuilt the vehicle. The clonk seems to have stopped for the moment, but i'm sure it'll return in typical land rover fashion
