Will it stop the kids from asking me for a 99 each time I stop when I get rid of my ice cream van wheels?

10s they are! The BFGs in the size I wanted them are not yet available or being manufactured for the UK market, so I had to bin them off my wish list! Coopers then moved up into the number 1 slot due to Fekete's recommendation and the previous picture and the ones in the snow he posted!

K9F you mentioned in an earlier post about HD suspension because of XS spec. Is that true for the 110 too? I always thought they only did the HD on the hardtops 59 2.4 110 XS Utility

Cibit,
Truth be told I am not 100% sure, even the Land Rover site does not mention it any more. There is a mention of it being available as an option in this and several other articles about:- http://www.motorbar.co.uk/lrdefender.htm The article mentions 110s and 130s only numerous hard tops are advertised as having heavy duty suspension and mine has it too. Even Land Rover could not tell me if this meant that I had a 1" lift against standard when I needed to know for tyre sizes. I am sure someone will be able to enlighten us exactly what HD suspension axctually achieves above standard! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Utilities, double cabs and pick ups have uprated HD suspension on the rear only, station wagons dont.
If you have the above then the landy will sit slightly higher than a standard version, probably about an inch as they are rated to carry a heavier payload being a commercial type You cannot teach stupid people to do clever things |

Thanks Disco,
Fekete said the same but I cannot for the life of me find any reference to it on the Land Rover sites, Googling or even talking to my local dealerships. Plenty of literature 'plugging it' as HD suspension but no details  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Finally got the wheels and tyres mated together and fitted! Bl00dy glad Fekete I never went for the 12.5s as they would have stuck out a mile due to differing offsets. Don't think there's much in it between us comparing pictures! For all the do-gooders out there I am probably sat on the wrong side of legality but I'm nearly half a century old and able to wipe my own ar5e thank you very much. Apparently Fekete they're doing a remake of Mad Max and want to know if our Landies are available....
Happy as a sand flea me. Off to pub to get ratted and win meat raffle. Sorry for standard of pics but in a hurry. Toodle pip! 
From this.... 
To this....
Different view....
 Just to keep the fun police happy....Ran out of driveway...In mitigation it is only 30 yards long!
