Here's my tipper. Bought it off a tree surgeon in Essex, not sure if he's on here or not, but he had converted it himself and had obviously put some love into it over time. Its my first LR, def not my last!

Stick with the red like the 90 I reckon.

Looks good with black wheels 😎

 

Red with black wheels and roof looks awesome. Like this.. (Not mine..)

Yea that does look good.

Seen a few locally like that...gives it a more modern look I reckon.

My friend has got his Land Rover on the road now. It was a 2.5 turbo pre Defender model but it now has Discovery 300tdi engine. The chassis has been welded and painted and the pickup body swapped.

Got a question for the mechanically minded!

 

Drive shaft UJ failure yesterday, question is can I get away with a new male UJ pin and female union both damaged, rather than a whole new shaft and if so whats the right name for these parts and whats the best source for getting them. This is my first issue and looking to learn a lot as issues like this arise!

 

thanks in advance, I know some of you guys are mustard!

Looks like you will have to get a new yoke to go onto the transfer box and replace the whole uj, no point replacing just bits of it as it comes as a whole unit of bits with new bearings in it, you shouldn't need to replace the whole shaft as that part looks undamaged.

Easy anough job to do but a little fiddely, even changed 1at the side of the a66 with a hammer after 1gave out near shap. Always have a spare as my 130 eats front 1s with the lift.
