  1. Wheels couldn't really be any closer 😁 But does it crawl? Yes, yes it does 😎
  2. Got the E-brake done, using various parts as you can see 😂
  3. The airlocker makes such a difference, this is actually the perfect machine to teach noobs how to offroad. What difference lines, lockers and 'bumping' obstacles makes output.mp4
  4. Already have one of those on the shelf 😁 this one is actually my spare for the front of the 80" but I have somehow matured so I don't really break much stuff anymore 🤷
  5. Another addition is this brake lever and master. Its going to be operating the rear drums: This is like a safety brake and shouldn't really be used. But the thing is that the main brake is a transmission brake and works really well. However I fear that if I break the drivechain or something in the gearbox I would'nt be able to stop the thing. So having one operating directly on the wheels aswell will be a nice safety feature
  6. Got an exhaust tip made and fitted, and then I mounted up the wheels this is going to run for now, Some nice Trelleborg 285/80's on the S1 rims 😁 making it as narrow as possible at 152cm and a total length of 260cm. Oh and the height is only 140cm
  7. Thanks for the input guys 👍 We once tried positive pressure in the dizzy but the problem with (at least all the dizzy I've had) is that they're really not sealed very well down the shaft, so not only will pressure be leaking into the engine but this is also where a lot of the moisture comes from IMO, simply condensation from the engine rising into the dizzy just like it does in the valve covers. So no dizzy at all would surely be the best solution. Its just that an old school Diesel just doesn't care, so much easier to use in a moist environment. But the real problem is the muddy water we drive in here. Just like liquid sandpaper, it ruins all seals, starters, alternators bearings etc. And because the bottom is mud we get stuck a lot and hold still for a while and that's where the water really seeps in everywhere. A river crossing with nice clean water and a good bow-wave is much better. But we just don't have that in Denmark.. Details please Arjan I know nothing about that engine
  8. Today I found a place for my portable compressor. Didn't want it permanently fitted to this, so i fitted and old metal basket and bungee'd it on. Ran the wires to the battery and will use the croc clips for connection so its easy to remove and bring along.
  9. Obviously you're right, but adding electronics to solve an electrical problem really isn't my kinda thing.. Actually this Summer I just smeared silicone grease everywhere all over the dizzy and leads and it ran like a sowing machine for almost a full day of water fun. Eventually the heat and water had washed some of it away and a couple of droplets have found their way into the dizzy
  10. I guess fitting an ARB locker to something like this is a bit overkill.. but I had a spare 10 spline unit in a S2 diff so why not?🤷‍♀️
  11. Thank you very much for the kind words guys, they're really not deserved 😊 Haha Yeah well I suppose living in the garage would be a bit more comfy Downunder than up here, at least during winter I'm very picky when it comes to my partner, rather wait for the right one and I think I found just that, Just like me she was born into Land Rovers so going to club meetings is just as high a priority for her as it is for me so I really can't complain.. Don't get me wrong, she ain't perfect. But by God neither am I
  12. Thanks, yeah I know right 😮 Anyways the thing is still going great, but driving style has changed a bit, I'm beginning to slowly move away from the big climbs and into the mud and deep water so the dizzy'ed and carb'ed V8 is as suited asnymore.. Have been comsidering a move to the darkside, but as we all now nothing beats a V8 so I'm unsure.. If I do go Diesel I would want something I can fit to the LT95 so that kinda limits my options a bit
  13. Was working on the rear brakes today, you've got to love old materials and craftsmanship. Was able to completely refurb the brakes only by cleaning stuff 💪
