It was converted in the UK for the UK market, oddly has the steering box on the left but an aircraft chain drive system under the dash to the right hand side, and very rough built pedal system comprising of a hydraulic clutch and a shaft and links from the brake pedal to the brake m/c on the...

Just saying- these pics were taken in 2009 , 2 of the 10 body mounts were intact, my defender 110 was worse

Ready for gearbox number 3.

We have an ex army ten man arctic tent, easy to set up, but may not be big enough for your needs. Seen here with a tarp porch Cheap to buy and comes with a port for a wood stove

I have a couple of these, super comfortable, adjustable and strong. Far better than any camping chair I've come across, but not light Not sure if they're available in the US but I'm sure you must have something similar https://www.nashtackle.co.uk/products/view/indulgence-big-daddy-camo

Cudaback, thanks for the positive review

Vintageracer, thanks for the detailed reply. Certainly puts a reality check on things. My reasons for wanting the van are several, my other options are a F350 of similar vintage or a 60's panel van. The van is a bit smaller than the F350, so slightly more practical (not a word I use often) A...

Thanks. I'm used to electrical gremlins and rust, daily driving an old 110 Land Rover

As per the title. I'm interested in an 86 E350 Quadravan Pathfinder that's up for sale locally. Anything to pay careful attention to, while looking it over? Anything to avoid? Any owners comments welcomed? Cheers

No affiliation etc etc someone buy it before I get tempted https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ural-4320-6x6-Must-go-Price-dropped-Would-make-a-great-camper-project/264246768877

Time for the back end Old rusty bit Ooopps 5mm box section 150 x 100 should last a while, completely boxed with no rust traps Not pretty but its stuck on, next stop complete galv chassis

I see the G90's mentioned and have to reply. I had one on the spare wheel when I got the 110. I fitted it while sorting out a bead leak on one of the XZL's. It wasn't on for long, if I even looked at the brake pedal in the wet that thing would lock up, and cornerning speeds were reduced to...

Defenders are never going to be an easy drive (much better with a bit of weight in them) mine is an ex military which came with no sound insulation etc. I've added a bit of silent coat noise reduction sheets and with the Toyos It's now possible to hold a conversation in the cab

I have a set in my backyard, taken of my defender 110, replaced with Toyo Open Country 255/85 R16. The 7.5 16 XZL were much louder, far less grip in the wet, not that great off road (nearly slid of the side of a trail, that two other vehicles passed with ease, one on AT's) and they're not that...

New footwells, outriggers and paint, courtesy of YRM metal solutions (excellent parts, good fit and well made) A much cleaner gearbox ready for refitting New cupro-nickel brake lines and bit more paint Nearly there A bit of a tidy up of the wiring with a new fuse/relay box for the lights...

Been a while, can't believe I've still got this old bus, especially after blowing the head gasket etc etc. A quick run through of the last couple of months Started out like this

Try some of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wiper-Blade-Washer-Jets-types/dp/B00JF90YXU No more silly little dribbles for me (not for a few years anyway)

Rolls Surrette, end of story as far as Lead acid batteries go. Of course the new batteries LiPo etc are giving some very interesting lighter weight options, but I have no direct experience with these.

Thanks, the vehicle is registered as a 66 but it could well be a 65 taking into account the build time etc.
