Awesome. Similarly afflicted. I've owned cruisers since I bought my first one (fj40) at 16 back in '91. Honestly I would love an older D90 or D130 too, they are just cool rigs. But, I have more cruisers than I really need alreadyThanks for the example - Good to know on the waterproofing as well.
My little side business is mainly for the "Classic" Defender market, Engine ECU chips, and I have a line of Automatic Conversion (and LS swap) kits coming out once they are finished. The New Defender is a possible as well but I just haven't been that interested in it...
I am expanding into The 200 series as well with a Behind rear seat wiring cabinet. that I am waiting on the prototype parts to be bent. That will house ~200ah of lithium, inverter, DC-DC charger, fuses, circuit breakers, 12v plugs, switches, etc.. all in one place to make 12v systems pretty easy and neat.
Been with both Marques for a long time (having owned FJ40 through now the 200) since the early 90's.. My first LC80 build (in 1995 on my 93') was with help of Man-A-Fre using ARB and Kaymar parts)
