    SPOTTED: Any 4X4 other than a Jeep JK/JL Wrangler

    Kind of unfair, since they are all mine. But... here you go.

    Project "Urban Defense" a Land Rover DEFENDER 110 build log

    I'm sure engine swaps in JK's are becoming more common. When you swap for a Hemi or whatever else, what kind of HP numbers are you trying to hit? Lets assume the vehicle weighs in at 6,500# (loaded down with gear, 5 passengers, full fuel tank (25 gallons) and and extra 20 gallons on hand), and...

    You would think, that with all of the letters and numbers available to GM, they could come up with new designations for their engines and car combinations. I know they are trying to keep the nostalgia alive by using the old monikers. Eventually it gets convoluted and confusing. So to clear it...

    From a price and feasibility standpoint, the LS3 wins hands down. From a "cool to do" standpoint, it would be the Eco Boost. It's not a common swap...yet.

    Yes, You have read the title correctly. It's not just a Rover, it's a DEFENDER 110. This is going to be a long, arduous, and creative build. Nothing is "set in stone" per say. Phase one of this build is complete. That was getting a suitable and affordable D 110 shipped to Denver from across the...

    Hello from Denver, CO.

    I'm wrapping up our '72 SERIES III this summer. Once it's out of the garage, it'll be full time on the DEFENDER. So, since the 110 lives outside at the moment, I can get the interior gutted and get the cage mocked up. It'll be a hybrid interior/exterior similar to this:

    Hello from Denver, CO.

    Hello. Brand new to the forum. I'm not exactly a "Jeep guy". What brings me here is a rig that I'm building. It's a 1984 DEFENDER 110. I've watched basically all of Wayalife's YouTube vids over the years and my plans are to build an Overland/Trail rig, similar to the rigs you guys build. Just a...
