and if I know you, as soon as you get it exactly the way you want it you'll sell it and get something totally different. Much like a bike! :thumb:

That's good. I didn't mean to sound like a pompous dickhead (Which I did)

But tony, for the good of man kind, DONT PUT A FARTCAN ON IT.
No worries chico, and I WONT put a fartcan on it, those things are annoying as hell! If anything I want it to be a quieter exhaust since I'll be driving this up into the mountains to go biking/skiing and a loud exhaust would be like a constant headache on decent length trips like that.

Tape to protect leading edges/lights from rocks and gravel.

Yes, about a year ago. We needed more seating capacity/cargo room and a better towing platform. Spinners are currently on back order.

Since you don't have tape, do you always plan to be in the front???

Mine didn't start out as a rod project. I need a truck and got it for $600 off Craig's List. It was a 350 with 4 speed, so I was on it.

Then the motor was headed south, so I found a '75 SWB, also on CL, with a brand new 350 and blown trans for $500. I pulled the motor and power steering, then sold the '75 sans motor for $500 on CL. The rest is from a friend who has a '76 Camaro and a bad ebay habbit.

The interior is out of a '92 Silverado. I would love to roll som 18" wheels, but I still use my truck to haul hay and dirt bikes and crap. I need the load capacity of a standard wheel size, so I'm stuck rockin' the rally's.

yeah, mine didn't start out as a project either, I bought it for $1000 off a guy at work after my other truck got repo'd in a bad divorce. I've had it for 4 years now, and I've put a rebuilt 3 spd tranny in it. I only live 1/2 mile from my work now, so it's feasible to ride my bike in and have it sitting to be able to do some work to it now

Narlus - Im moving to Pheonix in Spetember.

Manhattanprjkt83 - I would like a defender, however I really dont want to pay $26K for a 12 year old rust bucket. My Disco2 is still in great shape, and I do like the comfort when compared to an old D90. Plus once the D2 is ontop of some Diamond axles on 35s, all of the Defender guys will be wanting to trade :D

No doubt your truck rocks but something about that square look of the defender is just sick. I have always loved them, cant wait til they get to be OLD then ill have some money to buy one as a second truck.

This is my plan too. Build the D2 to be my hardcore wheeling rig and DD as well. Then buy a Defender one day to just cruise around in with the top down.

i guess you crew in NZ mainly have LWB models like oz yeah ???

the SWB model is too bouncy...
Yeah mine was the long wheel base repowered with the old 186. :thumb:

The short wheel base is better off road though....... To landrovers credit on road capability is an afterthought on the Defenders. They are a work wagon pure and simple.

I drive a Honda CRV. It looks like a dumb chick car but she gets a bunch of miles to the gallon AND I can carry two bikes and two people in it. AND as if that wasn't enough I have a bong that fits in the cup holder! :D
