This was taken out of a 110 Defender just this year. Went to a 300 TDi. It has about 136K on it. Nothing wrong with it. Compete minus the radiator. Came off a manual 5 speed 110 Defender. Comes with a fuel lines, filter assembly, clutch and all accessories. Asking $2000 shipped or Best...

I like Poly bushings where at the axle to radius arm mounts. But I use Rubber bushings at the radius arm to frame mount. I don't have a press good enough to get those rubber bushings into the radius arms. I've used the poly bushings on a Range Rover P38 and D2. I haven't had any issues with...

Well, still doing the wheel hop, not nearly as bad as before. I was hoping a short-cut would fix it for a bit, looks like I'll have to order the rebuild kit. Might as well do it right, its the only thing left to rebuild on the front end.

Ok, so update: I installed the new control arm bushings and took out 1 shim on each side of the top of the swivel ball. The shaking is nearly gone. I drove it for about 30 minutes and it only happened 3 times. From 25 up to 70 mph testing. So I'm going to take one more shim out on each side...

Here is another one. But I think most of it is the same. https://www.rme4x4.com/threads/project-sexy-back-love-is-in-the-eye-of-the-beholder.109412/

I had the plate made. Its a fake, used to have it on a lowered Mercedes S420

Probably. But it says PIMP so you know. It fits right?

Ordered radius arm bushings. I'll now go check out the swivel housings and see what they look like.

I think what I'm going to start with is the bushings, they look a little dry rotted. So I think I may go with poly bushings. Here are a couple links to a couple build threads. Basically I just took and removed all the land rover engine crap, emissions and put in the 6.2, 700R4 and the...

Best thing by far I have done to the range rover. I've owned quite a few with 3.9's and 4.2's and a P38 with a 4.6. The 6.2 moves this thing pretty good. Its more reliable than the 4.2 and so much easier to work on. Because I never have to do a thing to it. It just runs. Fuel mileage is...

Cool, The swivel balls look okay. I'll see if PT has a seal kit with new races and bearings. It has 193K on it so far, well, that's where it was before I put the engine and crap in it. So, they may be dead. Believe it or not, but I'm the second owner. I've had it for about 2.5 years now.

Is there anyone out there? LOL Man this place is dead anymore.

Kind of hard to explain what is going on. But its as if when I hit a small imperfection in the road my front end starts hopping. I'm running a dual set of shocks up front. Two sets of OME shocks. Plus HD Front springs with a Terrafirma axle spacer. Its giving me about 3 inches of lift...

That's kind of what I'm thinking, its just worth it. Just wanted another opinion. This was a few weeks ago messing with it locally. Its fun to drive with that engine. I drove it around Moab on Fins and Things and then Hells Revenge, only used 2 gallons the whole time. I still need to get...

So I installed a 6.2 diesel /700R4 / NP241HD into my classic. I blew up the stock 10 spline diff and broke a shaft last weekend while I was in Moab. A friend has a salisbury axle that's been converted to disc brakes and has all the brackets already to bolt into my Classic. Although, it...
