  1. Love to see some more on that saw mill........ (hint, hint....😃)
  2. - Construction of new workshop (building permit applied for) - Finish the Red Hybrid - Replace roof 110 with the lift section one - Do 3 Overland trips
  3. We run always direct cable to & from the winch and the battery. Any loss is not pulling power.
  4. Looks very nice - think that overhang is fine as you get less water ingress..... the 9 mtr. truss will be about 150 kgs and goes 4 mtrs. - those tackles are very useful....
  5. I remember a piece Jim Allen did and eventually a helicopter was used......
  6. looking good ! chain tackle to lift the top beam ? That's what I did - and will hopefully do again this Summer as I need to put up 3 trusses that are 9 mtrs...
  7. Hope you don't mind some questions.... What "motherboard" it is you're you using, please ? Is that a Mudstuff console ? and what is that panel on the dash ? Radio ? CB ? Thanks
  8. I do wonder why the upgrade as there is not a lot consuming ? Or do you have a lot of additional stuff fitted..
  9. Nice ! That will make for so much more better work space...
  10. Interesting - and a good solution. A cushion / armrest may sort the burnt arm..
  11. May just do that - looks a very, very nice place to visit !
  12. Clean out the system, check thermostat and see what happens.. We have a somewhat different heating system in the 110 and it does the job very well - oven hot - and is producing warmth within 10 mins of starting from cold. However, we do have an engine pre-heater we use if it gets really, really cold and for overnnight sleeping a webasto heater. I'd suggest you get a engine heater to help the engine for the short journeys and getting some heat.
  13. Interesting project ! Is today's demand so different you need the vehicle to radically alter ?
  14. Obviously you try to stay as close as possible to the original..... Like me 😁 Parabolics, IH Scout powersteering, 200 Tdi, Stage IV Front, roll cage, LED's, customs build electrics... etc....
  15. Very Nice !!!! Love the 109" and........ what's wrong with LEDs on a Series..... 😊
  16. Yes - plastic.... Originality is to me not really something that is taken into account when it comes to Land Rovers I'm afraid...
  17. Avoid working on engine on a bench if you can - that one in the pic will not be safe and shall cause harm. Static loads are mentioned and working on engines if everything but that that.. I build a bench myself and it will take an engine with gearbox easily. However, I work them on the ground. Can't drop that way and will make for boring, if safe, working..
  18. IF I may say : ""normally" means that you have to be very, very careful as some are just so rotten.... Long term, a new galvanized chassis makes a lot of sense. Funds etc. permitting, obviously..
  19. With trucks, recovery insurance is a no brainer. Here it will cost around € 5,5 per km to get a truck towed away and France is a bog place... Vehicle misery sounds familiar.. Bon Courage !!
