Awesome pics!!! One thing though, did you reverse the pics cause everything seems backwards, even the steering wheel is on the wrong side. :wink:

Wow! Thats the best flex I have ever seen on a kj. Wonder what they rear ball joint looks like when its flexed like that?

What rear shocks are you using? I know ive ask you this before, but I cannot remember.

Great shots! What's the deal with the dual snorks on that Defender?

Back in the day when I went through a military Humvee school I was told that unless the exhaust is also raised, à la a USMC Deep Water Fording Kit, a snorkel isn't really that effective. (And I know for a fact a Marine HMMWV will ford through a 5' water crossing.) It makes sense, but I'm not 100% convinced that there aren't any benefits, just limited. No clue on the duals, I imagine it'll just suck in more air. If 1 is good, 2 is better.

that whole raising the tailpipe thing has to do with shutting the engine off in water and the water creeping up into the engine
your engine will blow bubbles as long as it is running
we dont think twice about putting a muffler under soupie mud and even then it blows bubbles
good wet mud will clog up a tail pipe and stall even the biggest V8's if they get enough in there

Awesome pics OzLtd!! I think thats the most flexed out KJ I've ever seen. One sweet CRD ya have there!!!

I count 3 intakes on that thing, Don,t get why, if that is exhaust on the second one, why it is turned into the wind, what is the one on the hood for?

I take it you're referring to my mates Defender 90 ?

The 2 main snorkles are intake and both plumb into the turbo, the 3rd little scoop thingy on the bonnet is exactly that, a scoop thingy

!! It sits directly above the small horizontaly mounted intercooler. It gives it ram air whilst driving and acts as a heat vent whilst idling in 4LO.
