I'm sorry to hear that guys! I still have stock seats no risers at the moment until I change them. If I do lean out of the window I do have to duck although this hasn't bothered me as I don't lean out often I think the benefits for me anyway outweigh the disadvantages - mine are staying 2010 Defender 90 HT

I removed the Climair deflectors at the weekend, they just got in my way and I didn't like the distorted view through them.
I might keep them for winter and fit one on the passenger side only, so I can lock the dog in but give him fresh air. Car still looks lovely and clean, mind you I didn't do many miles last week when everywhere seemed flooded round here. 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol |

Also, I got new seat covers for the front seats, the details are in this thread but they are good quality and only £25 each.

OK, a bit of a quandary going on now.
When I wanted another Defender last year, ideally I wanted a 110 Utility, it suits me better for the size on a shoot day etc, maybe I should have hung out for one, but I didn't. Now I am wondering if I should swap. I really don't know if mine would sell quickly, how much it would fetch and if the whole effort is worth it. A 110 USW is much more money, and I've wondered if I could have one side by side with mine and swap bits over that I want to keep like the seats, cubby, wheels, KBX stuff, and then sell the 90. Thoughts? Musings? There's a nice looking one for sale in the forum but the guy doesn't seem to be replying to any questions. http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic44570.html 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol |

There is a lovely 110 pickup for sale on Angry Pumas
It's a hard call to make, I went to town on the 90 xtech but deep down I knew a 110 CSW would be ideal for the family. No regrets. Test the water and advertise the 90, if the mods have to go with it to attract a good price, its not the end of the world Andy 2014 Fuji 110 SW LS3 https://www.defender2.net/forum/post751233.html#751233 2014 Corris 110 SW http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic40056.html My old Xtech 90 build.. http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic15681.html LS3 V8 build... http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic49051.html |

Andy,
A pickup isn't ideal for me but a USW is, throw the dogs and muddy stuff in the back on a shoot day, but keep the front two rows for passengers and the guns, lunches etc. The 90 restricts me to being able to take 1 person around on a shoot, it would be nice to take the Mrs AND my mate, I have to choose between them! Did you mean Angry Pumas facebook page or the forum? I can't see much content on the FB site?? 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol |

Sadly and with great regret I have sold the Defender, the new owner comes to pick it up at the weekend.
It was a hard decision to make, but from the very start I always knew it was a bit of folly, a project to keep me busy and I knew I'd lose money on it overall because I'd be doing so much to it. We all go through life stages that dictate if and when we can spend our hard earned on these things and mine arrived so it was time to sell. It may not be my last one, who knows. I'll keep my eye to the forum but I won't be updating as much. I recently joined Angry Pumas group on Facebook, they have some real numpty questions over there that need answering! 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol |
