Today we get our Defender 90 Chassis on the ground. We get our new suspension mounted up and the axles rolled under it and get our first look at it outside of the Defender room. This is a complete new galvanized chassis and bulkhead, most of this build will be brand new parts and should be quite the rig once finished.
We have all new bushing and a OME 2" lift going under this one along with caster corrected front radius arms.
Next week we drop the crate LS3 6L80E Combo in and get the mounts fabricated up. Exciting times.

Sorry for the loss of your dog Joe. Dogs are the best companions, mates, friends. Better than most people. Take care friend.

There is very few people that I liked more than Honey. I rescued her, she rescued me in some sense. She was around for the start of the business, came to work with me everyday until I let her “retire” a few years ago. She was with me the bulk of my adult life so there is a lot of great memories. Her other buddy Sasha is tore up some and seems like a lost puppy now. But yesterday was better than the day before and today was better than yesterday, we’ll be ok just sad she doesn’t get to come on anymore adventures. She was that once in a lifetime dog and that hurts. Enough of my rambling. I appreciate the condolences.

So bummed for the loss of your pal. :( We’ll all be here when you’re ready to get back. The rig looks epic!

It’s a little bit of a rough time. Had 12 years with her, she had 15 total. Was the best pup. She was there with me pretty much my entire adult life, start of the business, came to work with me everyday until I let her retire a few years back. Will be missed for sure. We had a lot of fun times and adventures together. I’m just sad she’s going to miss out on the future ones.

Hey mate that’s an awesome start! 15 years with a dog is fantastic you’ll be lost without her sorry for your loss. There is a U.K LandRover company that does all the engine mounts etc for LS Conversion they are called Maker if that’s of any help? Love your channel and all you do! Why because I’ve the best sounding D4 in Australia!! Regards Toby

Yep, was lucky to have her. I’ll check them out. We will probably fabricate the mounts but never hurts to have options. Thanks!

We find in Aust that the trailing arms are swiss cheese so normally upgrade those thin rear bars to some after market arms.

Nice job - jealous of the gal chassis.

Did you guys keep the same differentials or swap them out? How does it do in 4x4?

@LostCauseRanch Жыл бұрын

It has a 24 spline set from a Discovery 1, then we fitted them chromoly shafts.

How did you end up resolving the bulkhead hole mismatch? Modify the chassis or bulkhead hole location?

@LostCauseRanch 2 жыл бұрын

I might have forgot to address that in one of the videos. But it was actually just the frame rails that needed to be spread back out a touch with the crossmember. Probably from being strapped in shipping or being handled in the galvanizing process, the center has a long run without support when there is no crossmembers bolted in. So correct width crossmember in place made everything line up.
