Oh hey, just noticed the Mantec / Husky combo there.

Very nice!

I've got the same but without the Dixon Bate points yet, wondering does your bumper have any stiffener sections welded behind the spots that they are bolted to?

Local 4wd club wants me to do that before they'll 'certify' it for use Confused Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants...

Mind if I ask where you got the Mantec winch bumper from, been looking for one everywhere as they were the ones on Camel trophy Land rovers! 1999 Land Rover Defender 110 td5 station wagon

I quite like those Mantec/gen ones.

'Learned' internet logic says keep it off, but if it's already on you may as well plug up those holes right...

Unless you're wading that is, but who actually wades that deep in a nice new puma ?? lol

Nice vehicle by the way, I'd love a 130 but parking round town... Big Cry


I did in Iceland this year, had a great time, intend to explore the Alps next time, use it for what it was intended for 😉

^^ I got what appears to be the last one via First Four a month ago, Peter rung up Mantec and by the sounds of it they found one still in the factory, yet to be coated, so I got it galvanised and powder coated for posterity:

Dixon Bates points are in the mail...

Maybe it's worth asking FF if they can source another?

They are available though Rovers North in the states too, but the prices are crazy, even before shipping.w Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants...

I take it you did further work yourself to seal the joints in the pipework?

Sorry Supacat,
I thought I had attached the picture properly, not posted many threads with pictures. Yes removed the snorkel and sealed with plenty of gasket maker. Also tried to get it around the pipe where it enters the air box. Checked air filter at the camp site that evening, and all was bone dry. Did plenty of deep rivers over the two weeks, with no trouble, Smile Smile
