Old Man Emu Springs and Shocks

Hella 500’s with 100 watt bulbs

32 “ BFGoodrich MT’s are a perfect fit

After the Old Man Emu suspension upgrade. 

No modification of the spare holder is required.

I ordered a safari rack from South Africa. 

It took quite a while to get to New Mexico.

This is a Hannibal rack.  It is very light  yet very strong, because it is made from aircraft aluminum .  I did NOT want a rack that followed the contours of the Land Rover’s roof.  Instead I  opted for a flat bed style rack for a future roof tent and awning .

I have installed Expeditionware shackle mounting brackets and backing plates to the front of the vehicle to serve as recovery points when needed.  ARB makes 3/4” bow shackles that fit these brackets perfectly.  Each bow shackle has a Working Load Limit of 4.75 Tons. 

                  VERY STRONG
