Parts ordering frenzy…
This weekend I spent money like I had it. I was ordering parts for the Defender to get it put back together after the crash two weeks ago. I know some folks that can help with the bodywork and paint so we’ll be working on that once the new body panels come in that I ordered. I also ordered a new suspension(spring, shocks, bushings, etc.), new Heavy Duty brakes(crossdrilled and vented rotors and kevlar pads), some chequer plate armor for some vulnerable panels, new side lights that got smashed, and more I’m sure I’m forgetting. Once the new suspension is in place I’ll be able to get new tires I desperately need because the ones I have were damaged in the accident also. I can’t get the new tires until the new suspension is in because I’ll have to fit larger tires to keep the truck’s proportions correct. If I fit the same size tires with the 2″ of lift I’ll get then they’d look small and out of place.
I still have a good chunk of change left and may order a new brush bar/winch combo plus some more underbody protection. I may even have enough to add some lockers front and rear. It will be one pimpin’ ride when all is said and done.
