Ill post up what I ended up doing with RTE.https://rtefab.com/product-tag/defender-90-110/page/2/ 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.

DefenderOftheWest Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Thanks for the insight I appreciate honest feedback. That has me thinking I should go with the Challenger Kit to support a company that provides great products that the community enjoys. That sucks that you had issues with RTE on multiple occasions with different products that is never fun and irritating is a kind way to put it.Did u install the Challenger Kit Yourself/ with friends ? Id love to install myself but Im not the most mechanically incline person and my tool selection isnt the greatest I just have never dedicated the time necessary to learn really. I feel like I got a whole lot of excuses tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I got a whole lot of excuses tonight. 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. DefenderOftheWest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.BlueSky Posted February 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Quick update - we are just working through a couple clarification on the classic brake lines. Should have a quote and shipping costs soon. I figure we can aim to split shipping by weight or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
