Videos coming soon. Still waiting on my tripple stick shifter to be able to hit the trails

Speaking of Defenders, I'm just back from a boating vacation in the British Virgin Islands. Saw two very sweet Defenders [right hand drive] in Roadtown, Tortola. Made me want one of those the guys in Massachusetts? rebuild to order with Isuzu diesels and manual transmissions. What great vehicles the Defenders can be, with proper drivetrains ....

I live about 3 hours from west tahoe. And I plan on putting some mud/snow tires. I have bc coilovers. I want to get some 17" I have 18".

Yeah, I got to drive a few Defender 90s and 110s back in the '90. Took a few for weekend striper fishing/camping trips on Island Beach State Park. The Defenders with MT tore thru the sugar sand like NOTHING else near their size/weight.

The owner of Prestige Motors (Joe D) pulled so many Hummer H1&2s, MB G-Wagons and Jeeps out of the Lake Tahoe and Colorado mud/sand with Defenders that he lost count!

Had access to the Prestige Land Rover vehicle fleet back then.

Defender is bad ass. Nightmare to source parts for that buick (or similar) engine though. Idler pulley was $600! Pay to play I guess. That was new old stock. The part is no longer available. I love em anyways

If I were to come across a clean, low mile/owner count Def 90 priced right, I would jump on it. Love the utility look, pressure wash to clean interior and offroad ability.

I just finished my bc coilover install. I have not lowered it yet, as I found three screws and wires showing on only one tire. So I will get new tires tomarow. I have a set of stock 18" rims, and also some 18x9.5 +12 offset. Any suggestions on tire sizes? I want mud/snow tires.

Im running 255/60/r18 nitto terra grapplers. I love them, if you want the stock height they have 255/55/18

Hey Sarek, you should put a ditch roller on the front bumper like this:
