I've noticed there's a fair few landy nuts on here so I thought I'd share mine. She's a 300tdi on an M reg, wearing a 3" spring lift , 30mm wheel spacers and 264/75r16 special tracks. Work in the past few months has included defender 110 front calipers and vented discs after some interesting brake fade issues, new standard rear calipers and discs, +4" s/s braided flexi lines, new hard lines right thru.
Thought it was all ready for mot, and was giving her a final prod with a sharp stick and discovered a little bit of rot. When I say a little I mean 3 months now of constant welding and fabbing. She's now had a complete brand new front inner wing ( near side), the entire boot floor was replaced completely with 3mm sheet, the sills are now 5mm wall box section with 5mm body mounts, after a long wait I managed to track down a pair of rear outer arches so they've just had the good news from the mig set. Now just the inner arches in the back to do once I pick my new set of rollers up, paint the floor front to back in rubberised pick up bed liner to combat the issue of the floor pan rotting, make some bases for my new Lexus front seats to sit on and reassemble!
Don't you love landies
