my 97 Defender rollover rebuild - Page 10

michaels · 10-22-2009, 12:05 AM

i'm kind of digging the two tone.

mightymg1 · 10-22-2009, 05:50 AM

ME too, IM not gonna paint the van sides yet, I like them black, but ive been kicking around the idea of painting the top of the doors black, the windshield frame black, and the top of the bulkhead is already black. then having it Conny on bottom, black on top with a clean pinstripe of some sort between the two..

Anyone got any pics of two tone defenders?

mightymg1 · 10-31-2009, 06:41 PM

OK more pics.. I built all new Lower rear shock mounts today, I got the Equipe skid Installed! THANKS LUCKY 8! MAN ITS SWEET!!

and heres some pics of the cage with the top off, and some pics of the patch panels..

Edit** theres another 1.5 inches of lift going on the back, so the up travel will be good once thats in..........

I wouldn't worry about the pinstripes; they'll get there, shall we say, organically?

I took my freshly painted 90 out in May and it just got railed by the branches! I found some of those wire mesh window guards for when I cut my windows. The main reason I havent cut my windows yet is I didnt want to have a tree take one out.

The only thing im not happy about is that I havent take the spool out yet..

Maroon Monsoon · 11-08-2009, 07:20 PM

keep the spool in!

BigBlueToy · 11-08-2009, 07:25 PM

Its only rubber, you can buy more when they are bald

Maroon Monsoon · 11-08-2009, 07:31 PM

just run used tires and treat them as if they are disposable, it's been working great for me!

maxyedor · 11-08-2009, 07:32 PM

Krawlers work better almost bald, run it.

mightymg1 · 11-08-2009, 07:52 PM

Yeah im sure they do, I just dont like the price tag!

mightymg1 · 11-13-2009, 09:47 AM

Well I ve been Driving her! I LOVE IT!!!!

As you can see the windshield is in, the door handles are on, the rear door and glass is in, MY PINK shaft is in. Thanks JE REEL!.

Now i need to do the alpine windows, Rear spacers, New SWAY A WAY coilovers installed, and paint her-- I have all the paint and everything, im just really lacking the motivation to do it..

I love driving my 97' d90, but sometimes it's nice to get in my diesel and cruise at 80mph all day and get over 11 mpg

BLost · 11-13-2009, 06:02 PM

I noticed you have a Euro spec gas fill location... I thought that was for the under-seat gas tank? Is that what you're running or are you in the standard NAS location? Any issues with plumbing it over?

You sure seem to like showing off your pink shaft

Maroon Monsoon · 11-13-2009, 07:49 PM

looks good
