    Hi chand-o, I have no idea what the factory delivered weight is but we just did a massive trip into the Australian Outback & the truck got a weigh in just before we left. The 90 weighed 2540Kg with a GVM of 2750 in Australia. Cheers Dave

    Hi John have a look at this site, just made what your after. https://rijidijoffroad.com.au/?product=defender-dual-wheel-and-jerry-can-carrier I personally see no point in twin carriers, we always run the single on the rear & a carcass on the roof. That way it cuts down on dead weight but you...

    The rear tyre carrier is attached to the door. There is no need to open the tyre carrier then separately open the door it all happens in the one motion John R

    Finished the swing away rear tyre carrier about 2 days before our big desert trip & had no real test time with it on the truck & just hoped it would all hold together. The tyre carrier started life as a AEV unit that fit on a JK Jeep as I loved a number of feature in their design but thats...

    On the Passengers side we needed to mount the RTT access ladder due to the fact that there was no room inside the truck + more important gear needs to live inside. The ladder is mounted to 50mm x 3mm C section alloy & position in a way to allow direct access to the gullwing door locks without...

    Building A Defender 90 Into An Expedition Truck

    For extra traction in sand or any condition we chose to go with the new ARB TRED traction boards. After looking at the all new design & the investment that TRED & ARB put into these it was a no brainer for me. I did like the Maxtrax but the ARB ones have just a little more work & design in...

    Tyres of choice are BFG KM2 255/85 R16. As we spend a lot of our trips in desert or sand island this size tyre is tall but not overly wide so when deflated you get a great long foot print in soft sandy conditions. I was very keen to try the new KM3 in the same size & have them before the big...

    Building A Defender 90 Into An Expedition Truck

    Just before we did our big Desert trip we got a major service on the 90 & found the rear axle spline on the drive flange had excessive stress on them. So we contacted High Tuff looking for their legendary axles. They are massive when compared to the factory job, sorry I did not get a comparo pic...
