Looks very cool Dave - must have felt good getting it, already beefed up quite a bit! Look forward to see pictures once the mods start flowing in
 What's the first one on your to-do list?
Enjoy it! MY15 Aintree 110 SW - for sale - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic82781.html MY16 Santorini 90 HT - sold |

Cheers! Last 90 I had was a 200Tdi - over a couple of years, I lifted it, loads of underbody armour, Mach 5s, caged, winch, X brake, etc, etc.... don't plan on going that far with this one, but we'll see...

Ah it's the licence plate...
So what's its future if you don't mind my asking, daily driver, greenlaner, bit of both? Good luck with it. |

Wondered how many would get that
Short term, weekend toy and occasional off roader, probably evolve into more off road/overlander over a couple of years. I enjoy the planning and modding almost as much as using the finished product (though lets be honest, they're never "finished") |

Leave them well enough alone. They are perfect. I've seen far worse offsets. |

Looks good, think its a bolt on bits rdx grill by the looks of it, swap that for a set of standard ones and it will look great

Thanks all.
Nice, Fathaggis - planning rock rails at some point - had galv ones from Paddocks on the last truck, but need to go black this time I guess. Re the Challenger wheels - look good, but the offset gives bump steer over rough ground and unsettles the truck, so a change likely... |

Fathaggis, may I just say that looks the business, though personally i'm a bit conflicted about the aesthetics of the roof rack... Anyway, it's yours so rock on.
Dave, reckon some side steps would definitely ground it some. If you haven't already seen them, you might like these threads. http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic37293.html http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic18394.html |
