Donald the Disco:
Thanks for the replys guys.......

I think I'll go for the standard height springs but a HD type

Will go for a 235/85/16.......Will these go on the OE steels ???
As I'd like to keep the changes as subtle as poss
The sale of the modulars will help pay for the new rubber

D44.................ref the bumper.................Didn't even think of them.............Just off to their website


Cheers

Yep 235/85 16 will fit fine on an oe wheel

winch it's self can be hidden behind the front grill
or as close as possible ?
This bumper has to be of the square type, NOT these horrible tubular things....

How much space is there behind the grill on yours?
All the standard defenders I've seen have relativerly little space between the grill and radiator compared to a RRC or disco, so to fit a winch behind the grill would likely require moving the radiator to make space.

I'm assuming the HD ones are simply a greater rate? I would generally only suggest these if you anticipate a lot of towing or you want to carry a heavy load frequently.

Donald the Disco:
Thanks guys for all your input...............

I've now decided to forgo the winch bumper & winch

Out is the 2" lift with all the issues that come with doing lifts..........Been there on the Disco

Incomng..........

Steering guard
Front & rear Diff guards  (QT's)
Front (MOD spec) Jate rings, to match the pair on the rear
235/85/16  AT's to go on the repainted OE steels
Jackable side sills (rock sliders, but without the tree slider part)
HD springs...........weight to be hauled in the rear tub needs a bit extra wellie..... :shock:

Possible fit

Safari snorkel


I 've decided to try and keep a low profile on this motor as it'll be used on the farm where I work (Cows & Sheep herding)
and will have to fit in with the "farming set" at the local YFC meets

A fully kited & lifted 90 could raise a few eyebrows
