    I've got a bad leak, that appears to be getting worse. It's at the throttle body. I just rebuilt/replaced the engine and had the wiring redone -- now this... I'm not thrilled with spending >$2,500 to have a shop R&R the pump. I recently plumbed the fuel lines after replacing the engine. Could...

    Ok guys, Before everybody piles on.... I have owned 110’s. I’m used to some roll but nothing like this. My current SA 110 feels like the back end wants to pass the front end when at highway speeds. No single hand driving or cell phone conversations. Full time, two handed, full attention...

    I changed out my saggy front springs to the light duty Terrafirma +2" springs last night, and while doing so I took a few measurements. Without the stock shock connected, I had an easy 28" of extension from shock mount to shock mount. This is without the weight of having the other tire getting...

    I'm swapping in a 200 tdi for my 12j and am considering using it as a "di" without the turbo. Has anyone else done this in their defenders? I know this is pretty common in the series vehicles but haven't heard of anyone doing it in defenders. (probably a reason for that).. My reasoning would...

    Day 1 of body-separation is in two weeks and I just wanted to get some input from those that have done a 110 before. How long did it take you to separate the body from the frame in terms of unscrewing, un-harnessing, unhooking, etc.? Is it unreasonable to think it could be done in something like...
