I did install the challenger kit myself. It is all bolt on -  super easy. 
 
If you feel apprehensive feel free to bring it up here and we can likely install it in a day.

Ordering another Challenger travel kit and some other bits for the new classic - "Eleven". Snowflake already has a Challenger kit from Gwyn and I have been incredibly happy with it (and Gwyn as well - very good guy to get on the phone for questions).
 
Snowflake also has RTE rear radius arms and a few other components. RTE has a good number of compeling products and is nicely located in the U.S.  However, with RTE I've had mixed luck - some of my parts I get in work perfect and are dimensionally correct. Others, not so much and modification is required (in this case I would have to cut and weld in an extension to push the axle back to where it should be located - RTE arms were just too short.). A bit irritating when you spend $$$ and are waiting for months. In fact just the other day we modified one of Simon's panhard bars on another truck to bring the axle into better "Y direction" alignment...
 
. of course YMMV. 

what you ordering Bluesky ? 
Ive been eyeing Gwyns Challenge Suspension kit maybe nows the time.
 
After talking with some friends some more about what suspension upgrades they've done my Bubby from Tx brought up RTE Fabrications not trying to push anyone in any direction just throwing it out there they dont offer nearly the same type of other defender modes like 2nd alternator,  double battery bin etc . heres a link to site if interested.  Ill post up what I ended up doing with RTE.

I’m home all weekend. If anybody needs some welding, I feel like it’s been too long since I got to melt some metal, so bring your stuff by and I’ll help you out.

Hello New Member Here.. Looking forward to meeting some Land Rover Enthusiast like Myself.  I wanted a Defender since my Uncle growing up had one when I was a young buck.  He was the coolest dude with the Safari Truck we use to go to the Colorado river in that bad boy it was a 110 and we'd go where ever we wanted man those days and summers were a blast.  So fast forward 20+ years and finally I was able to find a 90 that I couldnt turn down..
 
Here is my 1984 with the 300 TDI and a ton of Updates to the inside and out 
Here is a coupe Pics when she was 1st imported along with the rebuild Pics
