Bit of an update with more to come when I actually get things fitted. Busy Easter break with several road trips, firstly up to Keswick camping for a week, then a weekend down in Henley. Racked up some miles and not wanting to tempt fate, but bar a slow puncture the Defender behaved faultlessly!
![]() Click image to enlarge ![]() Click image to enlarge ![]() Click image to enlarge ![]() Click image to enlarge So following our camping trip and discovering how difficult roof boxes are on a 110, I found this on FB. Another road trip to Stoke and came away with a very nice trailer with lots of potential. ![]() Click image to enlarge Spent more time talking with the owner about his Defender's which were stunning with lots of mods. Two here and a third away having some work done, a real Defender enthusiast and very knowledgeable. Tried to encourage him to join us on Def2! ![]() Click image to enlarge Called in to the Great British Land Rover Show at Stoneleigh on the way home. Great to meet up with a few people I've spoken to lots but not met face to face. Managed to come away without spending a penny!

Totally agree with you about not being sure but once what ever you have bought and put on, it all comes together and then you can say to yourself " yes i made the right choice, nice one "

Hi James
What size tyres did you go for and did you keep the spacers on? Cheers Brendan |

Same diameter as original just a little wider, 265x75R16. 16" Bowlers are et10 so spacer came off, my excuse for 'needing' new alloys! Turning circle not quite so good now but still better than standard.
