Geez. After stumbling over here to laugh at a lifted 'Rado with more shocks than my neighborhood, I stumbled upon this D-90 with a several thousand dollar system, carpeting in the back (WHY!?!), OEM tires and brush bar, and "offroading" pics of it up on a pile of leaves of something.

This is dumb. A Defender is not a "phat ride" for "da boyz". Just because Freddie Prinze Jr. drove one in "She's All That" doesn't make it right.

This page is in hopeful retribution, to show a Land Rover built for offroad functionality, rather than some blinged-out poser.

txdefender's 1995 Land Rover DefenderAmong the modifications include larger springs, relocated rear shock mounts, a hinged radius arm, front and rear air-actuated locking diffs, a rock solid, low profile front bumper, rock sliders, and 33x12.50 SSR tires.

txdefender's 1995 Land Rover DefenderMy tribute to the import racing scene. My neighbors hate it.

txdefender's 1995 Land Rover DefenderMy bling is a lot cheaper than a custom stereo. In fact, my stereo doesn't even work.

If you want to vote on my modifications or whatever, here you go:

Performance:
- Nothing beyond maintenance done to engine
- McNamara air-locking diffs w/ 4.10 R&P
- Hinged from radius arm
- RoverTym springs
- Extended rear shock mounts
- 33x12.50/15 Super Swamper SSRs

Exterior:
- Rockware front winch bumper
- SG Rock Sliders
- Custom swingaway rear tire carrier
- Lights

Interior:
- Honestly, its a Defender. Who cares?

Sound:
- Front door panels removed, lost two speakers
- Stereo stopped working six months ago. Couldn't hear it anyways.
