    A few comments: 1. Luke at LOF is an excellent choice - his products and customer focus are the dog’s bollocks. 2. VGS - again, great product and looks like you’ve done a solid installation. 3. You might try the Gwynn Lewis’s OME damper set up on a 110, whereby you use the same (slightly softer) front damper on the rear, with his adaptors which are excellent. Also, try his trick of using plastic heat shield over the dampers to protect them from stone chips - works really well. You’re doing some great work, so be proud of yourselves!

      We've been using Luke and VGS for years, and have always been very happy with quality. Good to hear others agree :)

    Productive episode! Shame not to clean/protect the chassis under the suspension components before you put them back on.

    Another great episode Sam, its not a nut and bolt resto, but a great improvement, and a safe defender that will last another few years before a chassis or bulkhead is needed.

  • @ewanstewart8011
    @ewanstewart8011 11 месяцев назад +1

    The design and your attention to detail almost defy belief! BUT I agree with other comments that a build of this quality should mean all components are rubbed down rust protected and painted before the new suspension components were installed, and I do realise that most owners will never see the underside, that last percentage point would mean you standing head and shoulders above everyone else. Thanks for sharing your work it’s interesting and truly unique 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    I saw either 90 or 110 and the customer had had a clutch booster fitted to it, wow made the whole driving experience (even though it was round the block for it's MOT brake de accelerometer tests). Never seen another one using that set-up.

  • @westw00d100
    @westw00d100 11 месяцев назад +1

    Hi, Great job, impressive attention to detail. Is the design of this build according to a customer’s specifications, or is it for sale once completed? I notice, on your website, a Series 3 made to look like a 2a; is there a video of that build? Thanks, Bill.

    • @juicemotors
      @juicemotors  11 месяцев назад

      Hi Bill, the customer said he wanted an elegant modern styled build - I then designed the car and made suggestions 👍🏻 I did shoot the series 3 to series 2 front end conversion but never released the video!

    Curious as to why people are not using Koni raid 90s for shock absorbers.? Having had many on different vehicle including king off road racing shocks. For the application Koni raid 90s in my opinion are far superior,more durable, better ride, better over all control.

  • @Markfinbow-fw3nn
    @Markfinbow-fw3nn 11 месяцев назад

    Hi Sam and team Juice. Any reason why you choose a different manufacturer for the steering dampener and not use a Fox steering dampener? Love the build and more importantly I love the video and explanations. Thank you 😊

    • @juicemotors
      @juicemotors  11 месяцев назад +1

      OME steering dampers are more consistently available from our suppliers, which makes it logistically smoother to keep in stock for our clients, with equally good performance and quality 💛

    Love your guys work (and have lost count how many times I've watched your vids now...)! I'm in the states with a 1987 90 in Alpine White. I've got a lot of things I'm planning to get it dialed in myself (along with a local mechanic friend) but curious do you guys offer any "remote consulting" for some questions we have? More than willing to pay obviously.

    What's that green module that you bolted onto the side of the clutch assembly? Looks like a wedge design of some sort, to prevent something spinning.

    • @juicemotors
      @juicemotors  11 месяцев назад

      It locks the flywheel so we can tighten the bolts 😇

    Love the panoramic glass. Unfortunately, in my opinion it looks terrible with the sliding windows.
    Anyway, what's the final plan for this? Have you considered raffling it?

    • @juicemotors
      @juicemotors  11 месяцев назад +1

      I have a different opinion 😎 customer has already collected this build 👍🏻

    • @Roz31573
      @Roz31573 11 месяцев назад

      @juicemotors it's a good thing we are all different, which is why no two defenders are the same!
      My preference is simply not to interrupt the smooth look of panoramic glass.
      I still think you should build one to raffle off though!

    Any reason you went for the OME steering damper over the Fox version (cost/availability?). I am thinking of fitting the Fox steering damper when I overhaul my steering set up 🤔

    • @juicemotors
      @juicemotors  11 месяцев назад +1

      OME is consistently available from our suppliers and equal in quality. If a client insisted on FOX, we'd happily supply and fit, but may take longer to get in

  • @smartiboo

    Why are the white graphics on the tyres, on the inside? Are they "reversible"?

    • @juicemotors
      @juicemotors  11 месяцев назад

      They’re not directional tyres, so you can have the white outside or inside

    • @smartiboo

    Why not clean, sandblast, and paint the underside and inside the engine bay? More time and cost but after making so much effort a little more would make this job almost perfect..

    Great work from obviously experienced LR techs... however, you reinstalled a completely flthy transmission covered in dirt and oil, even inside the bell housing, after fitting all those new clutch parts... and you had clear access to all the rusty stuff underneath, but chose just to reinstall new parts next to/on top of it. That lack of attention to detail would concern me when choosing where to have my work done. It's not like this is a customer's car, and they chose not to pay for the extra work... I would get that. Even if this was the case, I would at least jet wash that transmission ffs.

    24:06 I'm gonna assume those new black wheel nuts aren't the bl**dy awful cap type that swell over time and then need a 27.5mm socket to get them off. They really were (and still are!!!) a proper crap idea!! 🤦🤦
