DB Tow bar delivered at last!..so another job "off the list!"

Had to be modified to fit NAS step..luckily able to mill out slots at work.
Spray Painted black.
Fitted.
Flashed over black again..
All ready use for trailer or caravan.



Only question now is whether to bother with 13pin electrics Question

Another job ticked off. Thumbs Up
very pleased with the result!
LR wanted £93 to supply Defender with black bonnet lettering.
£10 later and a nervy hour removing and fitting and its all done.

Finally got round to completing Front Wheel Under Arch protection today.
After an earlier "prototype" effort I made and fitted 2 good ones today.
Really pleased with the results.
They are a tight close fit secured by the original 2 fixing points.
It looks like they will do a great job..Ill give it a few months then take one off and look behind it.

Before...LR Standard

After ..DIY Mod



Difficult to get a good pic.Hopefully you get the idea

To stop mud and road grit sitting on the front member

Is that rally mud flap material - great idea!

I believe it will help protect the underside..( particular front outriggers) from everything the front wheel throws up at it.
I know they can be bought off the shelf and lots of Guys fit them.

Just thought I would have a go myself.
Wanted to get it done before the salt gets on the roads.

Its actually 3mm Acrylic. Its pretty rigid with just enough flex to twist into place.

Looking good mate Thumbs Up . Need to ask, is your chassis treated/coated in something as it looks very clean 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone
2002 - Black Discovery II - Gone
2014 - Montalcino Red 110 XS SW
