I thought i'd start a thread on the modifications i'm doing to my Range Rover.
The plan is to make the perfect luxury cruiser.
Here's what it looked like when i first brought it

(http://inlinethumb48.webshots.com/45743/2120581730102123940S600x600Q85.jpg)
There is a plug in power chip fitted on there already which has made it very drivable

(http://inlinethumb64.webshots.com/6591/2346389440102123940S600x600Q85.jpg)
I then fitted a pair of 80/110w IPF performance bulbs to imporve the dipped lighting and make the main beam even better
A Pipercross filter was installed to allow better airflow
I have completely cleaned the inside (the previous owner was a smoker with dogs) which entailed deep cleaning the carpets, headlining and clean and feed the leather

(http://inlinethumb14.webshots.com/46605/2401766800102123940S500x500Q85.jpg)
Then i fitted a pair of 400w Kenwwod 3 way 6x9 speakers on the parcel shelf

Teamed up with a Pioneer media centre head unit.
This controls any sort of digital media (iPod, Mp3 players, iPhone), plays music and shows pictures from SD card, contains a Parrot bluetooth system and allows you to watch video (on the very small 3" screen)

I'll be losing the wires over the next few days ;)
In the boot i have installed a 1000w Fli sub with a 450w Infinity amp, a 300w amp to run the parcel shelf speakers and a diect to battery fuse box to give them power.

This will be utilised more in the future
(http://inlinethumb56.webshots.com/47031/2899830010102123940S500x500Q85.jpg)
Then i fitted a new set of General Grabber UHP 255/55/18 tyres

The previous Disco lasted 4 years and the one before that was 3 years. I guess i didn't connect with the Defender in the same way (and being offered a load of cash helped)
