[295/75R16]

I`ve 285 on std 7" rims with 30mm spacers, but going to 8" with 4" backspace, for safety reasons.

[Stressing the CV]

Many people using wheel spacers or smaller backspace wheels tend to adjust the steering in order to get better turning circle (As I did). Does this exert unwanted stress on CV joints or steering box (now is leaking )?

thanks

Thanks a lot. How much would I need for a 110"?

[Waxoyl vs. Ankor wax]

Ok. thanks a lot.

[Spring Puzzle]

I think I took it from ARB/OME. Anyway, you are right. Once I got a reply from ARB Au and the guy quoted some funny figures. If I find it I´ll pm them.

[Spring Puzzle]

I understand OME755 is 300lb/in and not 280.

[Waxoyl vs. Ankor wax]

Hi

Not sure where to post this, but anyone used Ankor Wax from Morris lubricants? I don`t get Waxoyl in my country.

thanks

[Fitting a snorkel to Puma engined Defender]

The height it is about the same as an OE-type snorkel, but I have the impresion the Mantec design precludes airflow into the airfilter box. I would go for a safari but prices here are about double than in the UK.

[Fitting a snorkel to Puma engined Defender]

I have a Mantec (new model) and I don`t find it very good. I guess safari or a OE type with a safari ram would be the best.

I would be causious with OME data. I just got an emial from OME´s president and they acknowlege their data is a "bit too old". All this because their advertized lift is cr#p. And I do not know if red90´s results are from experimental data or theory...

[285 on 7"]

Land Rover Alloys: they are 16x7" rims with 5.375" backspacing (1 7/8" offset to

the inside)

[285 on 7"]

I have the 285 on std 7" alloy and typical wheel spacers. However I ordered a set of Allied 8" wheels for safety reasons

[Lift kit for defender]

Stay away from Rough Country. I bought a set of 4 to LLAMA4x4 and two were faulty. I never got a satisfactry answer.

[do I upgrade suspension?]

I just fitted OME springs on my 110" Puma. The rear OME755 did not reach the so claimed 2" lift as stated om OME spring chart (actually 55mm). So I asked the local dealer: "we are sorry you are not happy but that the setup for your rig". ARB from USA : "you can claim your money back or go to OME754 (Those are for 1100 lbs constant weight)". Stiff like hell.

ARB do not acknowledge their tech-info-add is carp. So I proposed them to pay the cost of 1" spring spacer and labour (about GBP65). Never heard from them again.

For me ARB customer service is lousy. I´ll stay away from those chaps. Should I shout to Australia?

[A ball joint]

Wise people

Does it make sense on fitting a grease nipple on the A ball joint?

thanks

[heavy duty or +2"springs for 110]

I just fitted OME755 in the back, but only got 1" lift. After my complains, even with ARB president, I just got a pile of garbage as answers.

They offered to exchange for 754 though. Maybe to stiff for my needs.

So, pay attention.

[Wheel spacers]

Hello guys

I got some of those from Paddock´s. How heavy duty are they? I guess the safe side is to get some decent steel wheels with the proper backspace?

thanks for the feedback

Hi guys:

Is there a way to check excesive wear=clonk on this TC? Do I have to dismantle it?

[What's the worst that could have happened?]

A landie it is complicated machine so, I would never lend it unless there is an emergency; a situation where it would´nt start

[Rear anti roll bar]

I have longer OME springs & haven't had the ARB swap over on me, even after being very crossaxled.

Strange, Microcat shows the same parts for Puma´s and previous Defenders.

[Rear anti roll bar]

Thanks guys! I did fit +1.5" OME springs. I think the spacers are the solution.

[Rear anti roll bar]

I guys

I found the rear anti roll bar totally wrong fitted: ARB pushing the bushes (on the chassis) backwards and the small arms upside down on the rear axle. I fixed it, but after doing some offroad, the whole thing came again to this weird position. Any clues?

thanks

[What springs?]

Hi all,

Have a 110 TD5 with a winch and heavy duty bumper fitted

Have a 2 inch lift all round with Britpart heavy duty springs, but I get the impression these have started to lose there lift, shall we say.

Can anyone suggest a set of good springs that will give about 2-3 inch lift on a td5 110 for the front and rear with all the weight of a fully laden 110? (roof rack, tools etc) Dont mind paying for quality as long as it doesnt start to feel low at the front again!

Thanks

Grant

I just fitted on my 110" Puma, OME751+LLAMA 4x4 3/4" coil spacer in front and 755 on the back. Also adjustable long travel Rancho shoxs. At the end I got 2.5" lift. Very good setup.

Hello Geo,

I understood Ramsey's and Warn wicnhes (not Tabor) are assembled in the US. Not sure about where the parts are actually built.

Do you have a winch installed? If so, which brand?

Cheers,

Santiago

Hi Geo.

That is probably true. Not yet a winch, these days Im setting up a rear ARB diff, +2" Ome springs and Rancho shoxs, double front cardon, plus other bits.

Winch choices are: Warn, Ramsey, Ironman, T-max, Tabor and Prowinch.

The first four cost about US$1500 the piece!

[Milemarker SE9500C]

As far as I know, all electric winches are assembled in China. Even the Tabor Warn version. Other Warn have Barsil made electrics. Am I right?
