  1. Thanks for the replies guys..! Will build one again someday.. Its never over in a Land Rover!
  2. I did use a set of Michelins on the first few months, it didnt show much of a lag with the tyres.. These were quite comfortable and did wonders in the Yala runs etc.. Nothing was swapped or modded in the engine.. I used the original Lucas CAV pump, it even had a line filter
  3. Haha no, those were a set of those 'replicas' of the english plates..
  4. Well I didnt play with the clutch so it was stock, was a bit tough in the traffic, well other than that it was quite the runner, And the head turner
  5. Well it ain't no monster inside but she was pretty gutsy and could hit 120kmph any time and make an econobox cry on the lights The audio Blaupunkt 12" Subwoofer Sony Xplod amp Sony speakers on doors Pioneer DEH-(cant remember) head unit At the beach Yala Times After a mudbath Well thats my story.. had her from 2006-2011, had quite a time, still mis you buddy!
  6. Well after a few mods this is how she ended up Mods - Safari Snorkel, Warn M6000 winch, Maxxis 33" Mudders Land Rover Trailer Hitch Hella Rallye Lamps Land rover genuine Chequer plate sill tops
  7. Well then the body came in, this body had the land rover half doors that came in the early models and the military spec.. Loved these door handles as they were indestructible! During the painting decided to keep the grill inside without the A/c condenser mod look preserve the original look.. Mounted the condenser under the chassis The interior without trim And Voila! The paints done - Early 2007 New coils and Gabriel Shocks Just before a test run Before the weighing and reregistration at the DMT -OCT 2007
  8. Well, I've been waiting for quite a while to put this up. Guess I found the time now. Here goes This is a timeline on how my Land Rover Defender 90 came into being well; for the second time actually.. Unfortunately due to various reasons had to part with it eventually.. Hope this'll be helpful to the 4x4 guys.. Started off in 2006, from a dude who purchased her from the police auction This is what she was Actual Military Spec Land Rover 90 (ex-STF ) Dude had tried to crudely restore it in a 4x4 joint, they've practically ripped him out.. Chassis was in pretty good shape though it needed a lotta work as you can see.. Had only surface rust. Took the entire old body and bits away... Here goes the chassis after full restoration with a new rear cross member ( actually the old one was in horrid shape) Well after the chassis was done the new suspension and drivetrain was mounted.. At that time decided to go with a 2.5 N/a (12J) engine due to effect of the overall cost, but it was also new with very few miles on the clock. Also with new bulkhead and LT77(S) gearbox (new) Chassis after restoration
  9. AFAIK the license plate is kinda blocked and thats an offence eh? A cop would've had a ball here..
  10. If is not too much to ask a pic perhaps?
  11. True, sprayed clear coat on the chequer plate on the sill tops on the Landy, thing peeling up.. looking horrid
  12. Would really appreciate a section where users can advertise on paid basis, rather than on posts..
  13. After all the above comments which I agree by all means, if you still wanna go the ricer way try this http://www.ebay.com/...=item3f13523902 looks hideous eh?
  14. HEHE true, my bad!
  15. Rules- thats for only local pix
  16. Well this Beamer ain't german
  17. http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/8864754-v8-landcruiser-in-saudi-falls-down-a-60m-well Land Cruiser goes for a dip!
  18. Work of art!
  19. AFAIK the Sequoia is not available in Sri Lanka, not sure about the Lx either..
  20. Thats the most beautiful thing i've seen!
  21. Worked mate AFAIK it'll work on any alternator, even the electrician who did mine had no clue, just did on my supervision.. Worked like a charm.. Used an autogauge rev counter from Motorcade
  22. This might be irrelevant to you but, I've tried this by simply taking a line off one of the alternator coils and fixing an aftermarket Rev counter, calibrated it according to the reading at the emission test reader.. Did the job..
  23. Same here mate.. I went through all the possible models before ending up with the Hilux.. no matter what the Hilux is far more reliable...
  24. Was this on the road to Tissamarama via Buttala?
