I am in the final stages of my build. Have added a light bar, winch, added on board air for the winch (red Winch with air spooling), ground down rear calipers and have fitted 18 inch rims. Have a set of 285/70/18 Toyo MTs which are 34.1 inches. So everything is ready however for the life of me I can not find where to get the cooler brackets to tilt the coolers so the 34s will fit. (Yes need to trim the lower bumper)

I was talking to one shop a while back and they mentioned they were ordering the brackets for their first build - anyone have any idea where to get these from?

Caliper brackets? You mention “cooler” brackets if you meant to say caliper then google lucky8 llc defender and his bracket kit will come up.

 

I think he is talking about brackets to move the intercoolers. They are down low on each side of the bumper and these giant 34" tires are probably requiring a whole lot of cutting to fit.

If Ford still owned Land Rover, this would be the Defender Raptor.

 

Thanks Markhkr, Combatninja is right these brackets are for the auxiliary coolers in front of each front tire. I believe the P300 has one only while the P400 has two. The coolers need to be tilted a little to allow rework of the inner fender. There is some trimming of the lower bumper as well.

The Lucky8 Defender is running 35s and they offer a service to do this work to fit larger tires but they are too far from me. Looking to do the work myself or take it to a local shop.

Please do it yourself and make a nice write-up.
You're technical inclined after the winch mounting, like me.

Looking forward on this mod.

 

Will Lucky8 not sell you the brackets they used?

 

@gurka01 - I remember seeing it but don't recall the site. I'll try to look it up later tonight. If it helps, I was looking at some picture (maybe Insta, could have been FB) where someone was showing off a "Ditch Light" on their Defender. Being the rube I am, I had no clue what that was so checked it out. Wasn't interested, but I was intrigued. Anyway, the company that made that bracket also made the cooler brackets you would be looking for. I'll check out my browser history on that other PC later tonight. Probably even book marked the website. I can't find anything with a quick search, but if you are bored - search for companies that make "ditch light" brackets for defendersand you may hit it. Then again, if you have more patience than me, wait a day and I'll likely post the link.

EDIT 1: It was the AfterTheLandRoverExperience Defender! Unfortunately, he doesn't have it listed on his vehicle mods.

EDIT 2: You either owe me a pint for the dedication or I shed a tear for you....Out of Stock. At least ping them and get on a wait list: Saltek Motorsports: https://saltekmotorsports.com/produc...tion-brackets/

 

Nope - I have checked and they do not sell them directly

 

@gurka01 - Saltek Motorsports have them back in stock! "Hurry while they last"...

 

Fantastic thanks GrouseK9. Just ordered and will see how they work once they come in
