Outer Limits 4x4 Board

It only cost me around $2000 installed on the RR close to 5 years ago. Can't see why the Defender would be any different.

Andrew must have been quoting front and rear.

There is no way that the going rate for rear maxi's installed is $3,700.

Don't know if things have improved in the last six months, but when i was getting some winch rope back then it was significantly cheaper to purchase directly from the US. Have a look on ebay - just watch out for postage rates.

From memory it was about 50% of what local distributors wanted.

Going to have to add some serious triangulation if you want that roll bar to be effective.

But you probably already know that.

Better look out for low hanging branches.

Are you seriously thinking of running 37's on stock rover gear?

Don't waste your time, put the money into upgrading your diffs/axles first. If you are going into terrain where you reckon 37's are going to help, you should be running lockers anyway.

Another which I think I started and it came down to getting some spacer manifolds to adapt the rover EFI stuff to the p76 motor they were from rova centre in skye?? if my head is working they were around the $400 mark for the pair and they do very limited runs.



Yep, what he said. I got my ...

Green ones would be around 20 years old i reckon. I just sold mine which was a hand me down from my parents. Not one problem in the time we had it. Fantastic fridges!!!

I have some 48 watt HID's in my XGT's. They are 4600k. With the clear covers on the XGT's they make a fantastic white light. With the blue covers on the XGT's which probably changes the colour temp to around 6000k i find it too blue. I much prefer the whiter light.

All of the above is true. Also depends on the brand however as I've seen some big differences between HID's supposedly at the same colour temp.

Would help if you told us what you want to use it for?

Top sh1t, looking good.

Told you it would be ready by cup weekend.

Cool story - often bad luck just conspires against you and things like this happen. Have had similar experiences getting stuck out in the bush at night although with more vehicles - managed to break them all.

Good to hear you made it out - you will probably look back on it and think it was pretty ...

Is the intention to get this thing registered?

I didn't think that Bilstein actually made shocks to suit a 2" lift. From what I recall, their length is designed for standard height suspension. Of course, this is all second hand knowledge so don't know if it correct.

Of course there is always the option of the LRA Bilsteins.

Yes. Works through the abs on all wheels.

If you don't buy it, let me know coz i'm kinda looking for a 94-95 atm also.

Axles will be 24 spline.

Yep.

I have heard of Jeep flares being used also , although the ones i've seen look pretty bodge imo.

Who told you that load of bollocks?

Did they try and sell you some other brand instead? Sounds like a tyre place having trouble getting stock and making up some bullsh1t excuse why they haven't got any.

But i've got kits ($200 bucks) from ebay in my Narva's, my IPF's, and my EF high beams. Once you've had them you wont go back. Do yourself a favour and spend a couple of hunjy on a kit and fit them in your existing lights.


Agreed, I just put a set of 48 watters i got as a kit and put them in my ...

Often indicates that the bush is shagged on the panhard. First place i would look.

Not sure why you can't use airlockers in an 03 disco? I assume you are using the axles from this vehicle? If so shouldn't be a problem - however if it is going to be a buggy i would question why you would use these as opposed to something that is not made of cheese.

Nankang Mudstar. Damn good tyre for the price.

235/85/16 is easily doable with 2" suspension lift and a camel cut on the rear guards.

If you want something a little wider, 265/75/16 also fit but in my experience require a little more trimming and folding of the lip in the rear wheel wells.

Hey guys - would that be the LT77S box fitted to that model? Or an early R380?

Pretty sure it will be a LT77S in a 93. I don't know if the R380 even made it into the classic Rangies.

They are definately a large 32. They are rubbing in spots my old 32's did not get close to.

I'll stick with the MTZ's though - very happy with them so far. Just have to make them fit....

If you want it to do harder off-road stuff, buy a cheapie and spend your left over cash on upgrading the drivetrain.

Both are as good as each other off road, as they are effectively the same vehicle with just a different shell.

Its often better to get a Rover expert to check it out. Don't know if there are many of them in NZ?

A 285/75 is too wide for a Discovery without stuffing around with chopping guards, offset rims, upgrade axles etc. 265/75 is about the widest you can get and keep it relatively standard.

A patrol on 33's would have about the same clearance under the diff as a rover on 31's because of the size ...
