Its decided greeni
Zu Alloys are having the 285 75 16 BFG AT's and going on 110. Hopefully be next week, will post up a pic then 
Mach 5's are going on the 90 off roader as I can't be arsed to refurb em with my little free time as it is currently! Admired the 110 outside the barbers yesterday afternoon and decided I definitely made the right choice writing off the transporter camper that replaced my old 2002 TD5 110, Im always grinning in it and Ive done 700 mostly work miles in the 5 days I've owned it and I still want to get out in it more!

I did manage to pop up to the Welsh Xtrem where I bought the X5 mach 5's for £400 from
some serious kit there and I can't wait to get the 90 running as its been abandoned on the lane for 3-4 weeks now with a wiring/battery drain issue and again comes down to the free time issue with a young family! Ive got warn 8274 on a D44 comp bumper, full gwyn lewis challenge suspension, QT rear x member, OME +2 springs, Mach 5's on temporary 265 Khumo KL71's all waiting to go on!
I need +5.5" travel shocks for it if u know of any greeni? oh and 35" tyres but best work a few more hours to replenish the landy bank account lol 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold) 2015 Discovery 4.5 Black pack Firenze red XS 2008 Corris Grey 110 XS USW (sold) 2011 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold) |

Gave her a clean, went to Cardiff Bay with the family and loved driving the 110
I actually prefer it over our Discovery 3 HSE to commute the 2 hour drive to work! I have 20" Manta Alloys on Cooper Zeon LTZ tyres waiting to go on, just waiting on the wheel nuts. roof rack I've decided to sell as Its going to have a full external whitbread roll cage as the strength above the waistline in a roll over is pants and safety first when it comes to family.

Cheers Tig
Not overly keen on it either so will replace for tapered D44 winch bumper eventually Everything you see on it came with the 110 as bought. its actually 1 and half hours usually when no traffic but yeah long old commute especially for a 6am start! its only 60 miles but its all winding rural A roads with some B. But not too worried as my time and fuel is paid and I only do it twice a week in the 110. I go in the company van on the other days and stay up there 2 or 3 nights a week when I have the 110. 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold) 2015 Discovery 4.5 Black pack Firenze red XS 2008 Corris Grey 110 XS USW (sold) 2011 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold) |

yeh cool.
like the idea of the cage. you can use the cage as a roof rack then
i've started using the 110 again so she's back in favour! |

110 looking strange without its roof rack which Ive sold today and delivered to its new owner today!
Sold it as I am going to put a external roll cage on him Just getting quotes now from various suppliers
then next on the list are Recaro Sportser CS seats as my original drivers seat has collapsed on the back squab so good excuse to replace haha. Top tip if you add a roof rack to your defender and it has steel feet, make sure you put rubber to act as a barrier to stop the steel reacting with the aluminium roof which it has in this case and its got to go to the body shop now for the corrosion to be rubbed down and repainted.
