Your Opinion: FunRover Products
In the office, we've recently been considering creating our own line of Land Rover accessories and upgrades. However, we wanted to ask you guys and girls, the FunRover community, your thoughts and feelings on such news. Our ultimate goal is to not make just another generic, dull and uninspiring range of products - and let's face it, there are a lot of "me too" type products around.
MUD UK Rear Door Trim Review
Since trying out the Mud Curry Hooks we reviewed a few months back, we've become huge fans of MUD Products. All of their products are custom designed and sourced to a very exacting standard. The best part of MUD products though, they are designed by people who own and love Land Rovers, since 2003. Thats why MUD Products are are probably one of the best all round packages you can buy on the market. Today, we're looking over their rear door trim piece, replacing those old vinyl covered hardboard pieces and ugly gray trim pieces. The MUD item is a rugged, attractive, all-in-one design that really smartens up your interior.
Exmoor Trim Leather Gearbox Gaiter
Most of the things we've reviewed so far have involved heavy lifting, freezing cold hours spent wrenching away and lot's of thought. It was nice to have a simple, yet very effective product to install for a change. The Leather Gaiter by Exmoor Trim is a very simple fit indeed. In fact, install probably took less than two minutes and requires no tools what so ever.
Bearmach Swingaway Arm Review
We've had a whole host of parts be delivered to FunRover HQ and we're working through bolting them on. One of the highest priority items was a good quality wheel carrier, in our case, a swingaway type. For those of you who are not familiar with these, essentially, they allow for practical positioning of the spare wheel, right out on the back of the rear door. Land Rover offer their very own rear door wheel mount, but this physical mounts to the door and is known to apply extra stress to moving parts in the door. It's also quite precarious for use with larger and heavier aftermarket wheels, such as the KN Predators and 265 STTS we use. To give us a safe and stronger mounting place for the wheel, we ordered a Bearmach Swingaway Wheel carrier (avaialble for Series Land Rovers through to the latest TDCI models).
KN Predator Alloy Wheel Review
Many of you will notice the fancy set of boots our test 90 now sports. The wheels in question are the KN Predator, finished in a gloss Black. These snazzy looking wheels have taken us all over the UK, on and off-road and today we're offering up our thoughts after running them for a few months.
Cooper Discoverer STT Review
Discoverer STT's are Cooper's premium "high void or traction tire", with an 80% leaning towards off-road use. That said, these tyres really pack a lot of punches with the remaining 20% assigned to on-road driving.
Visionaire GPS Review
The Land Rover Defender is now the 4th most stolen vehicle in the UK, with over a thousand to be nicked this year alone. The problem is increasing year on year and other Land Rover models are seeing rising thefts. You need to start getting serious about security for your cherished Landy.
Exmoor Trim XS Fold-up Seat Review
As part of our on-going upgrades to the FunRover Landy, Winton, we've been looking into seating. As our Defender is a hard-top vehicle, it comes with no seats in the load-area as standard. The typical 3 front seat set-up is perfectly suited to workmen types who usually have no more than 2 passengers. However, as our vehicle has a cubby box up front, we've lost our third seat. When it comes to seating, the first brand you think of is Exmoor Trim.
MUD Curry Hook Review
£2.50 really doesn't go a long way anymore. It'll buy you 5.55 Mars Bars (surely only enough for one sitting?) and not much else. What if we said you could purchase a seriously useful and quality part for your Land Rover for £2.50? Think we're mad? Meet the MUD Curry Hook.
