    Packing crates

    My shop is full of the Orbis bins. They’re space efficient, durable, stack well, and are decently priced, as you’d expect of a commercial warehousing product. However, being indoor oriented they have no dust or water ingress resistance so I’d only use them inside a vehicle for non-critical...

    4WD 24/7 Camel Trophy Tribute D1

    Yeah it's no replica. Their use of it will be a more accurate tribute than the vehicle itself.

    New design for power steering fluid reservoir?

    I've noticed it used on many other vehicles over the years as well. They should be cheap because the economy of scale on those things must be excellent.

    Ecoboost in a Disco 1

    They've been doing it for years actually. It's a very effective solution on a common issue. However, main casings (even leaky ones) have become more difficult to find, so they now also manufacture their own.

    Ecoboost in a Disco 1

    Chevy I6 is a common swap in Defenders, not sure if any D1/RRCs have been done. IMO though, fixing/improving the RV8 is almost always less expensive in the end.

    Ecoboost in a Disco 1

    Raptor/bedliner looks cheap. It also tends to attract and hold dirt. Whatever type Ronny has on his 70 appears to be holding up well. That said, Alpine white is the perfect color for a D1.

    Old Timers Unite

    Y'all should know better than to be purchasing JLR products in 2025.

    anyone else affected by the JLR parts delays?

    They tried to consolidate several parts warehouses and meanwhile very publicly failed to provide any continuity of service. This was last year, or was it the year before? Either way, a major screw up I thought would be behind them by now.

    Roof Rack Lights - Electrical Connector

    DT connectors are a good option and allow the use of 14-18 awg wire. DTM are too small. DTHD are good if you’re bussing power through two thicker gauge wires and fanning out at the roof.
