£2K'ish to Spend to Improve my 90

(1/2) > >>

whoami:
I currently have a 1990 Defender 90.

It's been fitted with a 300 TDI engine.

It's got a 2 inch lift kit, Grizzly Claw tyres (235/85/16), a roll cage, Husky winch and a few other odds and sods.

What would you spend about £2k on to further improve it?  :?:

Bigger wheels/tyres? Intercooler upgrade, better suspension?

Ideas welcome.

Cheers.

defenderdan:
It all depends on how you use it

whoami:
Fair point.

Okay, play days, greenlaning.

Most of its time is spent on the Extreme course at Langdale Quest.

Bulli:
maxi drive lockers and halfshafts. If youve done lots of miles a rebuilt gearbox is always a good idea.

defenderdan:
I would further upgrade your suspension to get more travel, don't bother changing tyres until your grizzleys are goosed. Intercooler upgrades are fantastic for road use but you won't really see the benefit offroad at low speeds. You could go for a diff locker in your back axle and some nice uprated halfshafts. What about your kit, get a ground anchor to go with your winch. Stick a snorkle on, even if you don't like deep wading it's better safe than sorry. At the end of the day it's a landrover, you can do pretty much anything to it you can think of.
