Thumbs Up nice looking truck Supacat Thumbs Up I've got a set of HD Steels for the 90 I'm having sprayed black and seeing yours is a definite that I made the right decision. Life is one big adventure, that's why we have the vehicle for the journey.

Thanks - binning the XS alloys in favour of these was the easiest decision with the purchase. For me a DCPU not only looks better on them but they are so low maintenance - I have no issues regarding scratching/damaging them or baked on tar or brake dust that i would have had with alloys.

They are heavy though - almost need to do a risk assessment to get the spare out of the back!

Played with the new high lift jack mount that I picked up from BPman last night Thumbs Up
Peeked in his Garage - Wow - what a fab looking 110 with ALL the right things on ! very envious!)

Then fitted the new window guard/vents from Brendan, which are very smart and cool! Many thanks Brendon

after that I spent a fruitless hour trying to fit new jate rings to the front of the 110 - but they don't fit due to the fact I've got an A bar! Big Cry Poppy - TDCI (Puma) 110XS 2.2 - Camper conversion - see the build here - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic56530.html

New steering box fitted and near side wheel bearing. Was going to have a go myself as it was only a few bolts Whistle Whistle

Thankfully I did not listen to myself and booked it in a Strathearn engineering. The wheel bearing was a nightmare to come of so glad I never tried....

truck is running brilliant and much more stable round the twisty roads up here Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Why is it the list of "wants" still gets bigger even though I'm crossing off at least two or three a week????
