Great looking truck to start with @Cake, but so much better now...
I did wonder how long it would be before you sorted the wheels when I started reading, turns out not long at all... And I echo your comments about Chris @ CSK, a top bloke and also a member here ( @Killer90 )... Only one obvious thing left to do... Powder coat those grey side steps in Black... Rog...

Thanks - Not quite in your league yet, an absolutely stunning bespoke defender and done so very tastefully
I was waiting to see how yours hold out on your build thread before I get them done Yes number one was security and secondly was wheels, which unfortunately sat around a little while before being fitted. It will be at CSK in the new year for at least an underseal; now perhaps powder coated side steps and who knows what else Also as you have used Urban Truck extensively I can also say that their customer is excellent, despite calling to confirm only small number of things not equating to volumes of money they ensured everything was answered correctly and made to feel welcome. needless to say it all got ordered |

Powder coating the alloy side step treads is a good idea, although probably easier to spray paint.
I cant see a rear step in your pic, I got a brand new one removed from my Landmark, lemme know if you are interested, i'm close to Beadles. |

Spray paint won't be durable enough to be trodden on and left out the elements - hence powder coating, which should be durable to withstand normal usage. Mind you I bet the missus would wreck from day one!
Thank you for the step offer but I removed mine as obviously at three years old it would be rusty... But also I'm not a fan of how the standard step sits when not used; up or down. For now if someone wants to rise in the back they can climb in on that rare occasion Also congratulations on the Defender! Is it your first and also did you get it from Beadles Sidcup? |

The Landmark is my third 90, the first one was stolen after three years and never recovered, the second one (a black 300TDI CSW) was purchased new in 1998 and only recently sold after I bought the Landmark.
Both the new ones were purchased at Beadles. Good luck with your mods, its nice to hear from people that are proud of their Landy's |

Sorry to hear you lost one - something all of us worry about. Hope you are enjoying the new one and keep it as long as your last. Beadles are very good - also just got an email that they have opened in Southend! |

Christ Cake, you weren't joking when you said you'd already spent a lot on your 90. Quite a transformation... Seriously though, what are those hoops like to ride on? They're growing on me, but afraid it would ruin the (exemplary) handing.... Monsieur Le Grenadier I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list..... 2011 Puma 110DC - Corris Grey |
