THE SILTY MUCKY GROUND

The 8274 is complement by one of Good winch’s Goldfish 12,000lb submersible winches mounted in the rear cross member. The only spot of rot in the chassis was at the back, so putting the winch in there did us a favor. The winch is accessed by a neat hatch in the rear floor.
Bodywork is mostly standard 90, with a few bits cut away to clear the tyres. However, ditched the one piece Defender doors. Total rubbish they’re heavy but with thin skins so, if mechanism breaks. Series doors are much better.

Wrapping the exterior of the 90 is the substantial roll cage, built by a local firm specializing in saloon car cages. It not o0nly protects the vehicle we’ve had three roll over’s, with zero damage. Because they often take their kids off roading with them.
