Superior Engineering Custom-Valved Remote Reservoir Shocks

These shocks are not supplied out of the box and sent straight to you. KINGPIN Fab re-valves and tunes them specifically for Land Rover applications, based on vehicle weight, suspension travel and intended use.

We modify both the shim stack and piston setup where required to achieve the damping characteristics we want for the vehicle.

Price is per pair.

Why KINGPIN custom-valved?

• Vehicle-specific damping rather than generic off-the-shelf valving
• Remote reservoir for increased oil volume and cooling capacity
• 8-stage compression adjustment
• 20mm hard-chromed shaft
• Fully rebuildable and serviceable
• Multiple travel lengths available

KINGPIN SOLID 4140 CHROMOLY TRACK RODS!!

These SOLID Chromoly track rods are the strongest bars available worldwide for your Landy, and have the added benefit of having a incredibly high amount of 'spring' in them due to the material properties.  It is almost common knowledge Land Rover likely designed/specc'ed the factory Track Rod design 30mins before knock off on a Friday arvo! Yer - really not to sure what on earth they were thinking!

Almost all other HD steering rods on the market are HI-Tensile Steel at 350mPa tensile strength, We are not knocking these at all - they are great!, and we also sell these.

Our solid Chromoly bars are 32mm 4140 Chromoly rated at a whooping 980mPa tensile strength

Also included with every KINPIN FAB Chromoly rod is a pair of KINGPIN Fab Extra HD Stainless steel HD Jam nuts!

Chromoly, compared to regular hi-tensile steel is better suited to spring back to its original shape rather than bending and then not returning back to its original shape.

If you want the strongest bar available...this is the one for you Wilco ;)

For heavy offroad use, we recommend using ONLY LEMFORDER tie rod ends with this product, due to the high quality of these joints and superior casting strength over cheaper ones. No point getting the strongest bar avail, only to skimp on the quality of your tie rod ends

***ALL BARS COME PRE-GREASED WITH COPPER OR NICKLE ANTI-SIEZE!***

Discovery 1-Style Pitman Arm and Draglink Conversion for Defender

This conversion replaces the Defender pitman-arm and draglink arrangement with the listed Discovery 1-style setup.

Why owners choose this conversion

• Uses a standard tie-rod end at both ends of the draglink, which can simplify field repairs for touring vehicles
• Can help avoid binding at the Defender pitman-arm ball joint on suspension setups with increased articulation
• Provides an option for vehicles being set up with the Fox Racing steering damper kit

Part kits are available if you already have some of the required components. Contact KINGPIN Fab with your vehicle and current steering setup to confirm the correct option before ordering.

BLAST-PRIME-COATED SATIN BLACK

SOLD AS PAIR

KINGPIN Coil Spring Lift Spacers / Shims

Simple solid-steel spring shims for fine-tuning ride height on Land Rover Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic applications.

Available options

• 6mm shim — suits front or rear
• 10mm shim — rear only

Useful for correcting small left-to-right ride-height differences, compensating for accessory weight, or making small suspension-height adjustments without changing the main coil spring.

Finished in satin black powder coat.

Sold individually.

Multiple shims may be stacked where appropriate, but suspension geometry, bump-stop clearance and spring seating should always be checked through the full travel range.

Extra HD TOW/RECOVERY Points - MULTI FIT (Defender-Disco1-Disco2)

These Extra HD units are made with a whopping 16mm 350mPa grade CNC Plasma cut Aussie steel plate, that’s thicker than anything else on the market available for your Land Rover – Period!

We only recommend you install these items with NEW M12 - 12.9 Grade zinc plated bolts and nyloc nuts, AS WELL as installing the optional crush tubes into the upper chassis mount hole used by these brackets IF YOU PLAN ON DOING SNATCH RECOVERYS

If there is not a hole already and your bullbar does not also use this hole - you may not have a hole there at all! From the factory this upper hole was not present in Defenders.

We now offer custom made crush tubes than have been machined from 1” solid round steel to install into the upper bolt hole mount for those who plan to do snatch recoveries with these. We also recommend installing the 3^rd M12 bolt for good measure.

Installation of these optional crush tubs is fairly simple and only requires a 1” bi-metal hole saw, a welder, and a grinder.

ALWAYS use a bridle and BOTH mounts AND a rope dampener blanket when performing a recovery from the front end. Recovery’s can be fatal if not carried out correctly.

Please leave us a note at checkout if you have selected Powdercoated, with your colour choice. This will add up to approx 10-20 business days to your order to have them coated. Alternately we will send out BLACK powdercoated by default if you do not specify colour.

KINGPIN 7075 Alloy Adjustable Panhard Rod

Heavy-duty adjustable panhard rod for Defender, Discovery 1, Range Rover Classic, Perentie and County applications.

Designed for lifted vehicles where the front axle needs to be re-centred under the chassis, this panhard uses a solid 7075-T6 alloy bar with a chromoly heim joint at one end and a SuperPro bush at the chassis end.

Why this design?

• Solid 7075-T6 alloy bar, anodised black
• 7/8-inch chromoly three-piece heim joint
• Stainless high-misalignment spacers
• Machined bush housing
• SuperPro chassis-end bush to reduce noise, vibration and harshness compared with a heim joint at both ends
• Bolt-in replacement with no chassis modification required

Fitment

Suitable for selected Defender, Discovery 1, Range Rover Classic, Perentie and County applications.

Two chassis-bush sleeve sizes are available: 14mm and 16mm. As a general guide, earlier vehicles commonly use 14mm and later vehicles commonly use 16mm, but the safest option is to confirm the existing bolt size or provide your VIN before ordering.

Why an adjustable panhard?

Raising a Land Rover changes the lateral position of the front axle relative to the chassis. An adjustable panhard allows the axle to be re-centred after a suspension lift.

Off-road note: the heim-joint end is intended to provide freer articulation and reduced bind compared with a conventional rubber-bushed arrangement. This product is aimed primarily at serious off-road and modified suspension applications.

Compare adjustable panhard rod options

For another adjustable option, see the Tough Dog Heavy-Duty Adjustable Panhard Rod. Its vehicle selector covers selected Defender, Perentie, Discovery 1 and 2, and Range Rover Classic applications. For 2002 Defenders, provide the VIN so we can confirm the mounting-bolt configuration.

Again we have gone above and beyond with our HD Turret Retainer Rings

We have had countless requests for these as the std factory ones often break studs as they age, and even more so with quality shocks with firmer tunes than the factory items.

The usual offerings use a 4mm laser cut plate - we use 6mm, just to give that little bit more

Our studs are threaded into the flange ring itself, and then plug-welded from behind

KINGPIN Fab Fuel Filter Relocation Bracket

Needed when you fit ANY brand pin to pin rear shock mount to Td5 & Puma D90, D110 & D130 Defenders

Comes with fitting kit

This gear knob is designed to replace the oem gear knob that is prone to cracking. The design incorporates a lower profile that sits over/matches the existing gear lever shaft to prevent further cracking.

Modifications to the existing gear lever are required to fit our gear knob - see pic of modified gear lever for reference.

Machined from billet 6061 aluminium, then anodised black to protect from corrosion.

Proudly designed and manufactured in Brisbane, Australia!

This listing is for 1 gear knob, and includes grub screw to mount to existing modified gear knob assembly (allen key required for installation)

KINGPIN M57 Low-Profile A/C Compressor Bracket

Need more room on the right-hand side of your M57 engine bay? Move the A/C compressor closer to the engine block while retaining the BMW compressor.

For Land Rover Defender, Nissan Patrol, Toyota LandCruiser and other M57 swaps where compressor clearance is tight. Suitability depends on your engine, compressor and engine-bay layout; check the version and clearance requirements below.

The KINGPIN bracket replaces the factory BMW compressor bracket and moves the A/C compressor approximately 27mm closer to the engine, creating more clearance between the compressor and the Land Rover steering box.

Features

• Designed from 3D scan data for accurate belt alignment
• Powder-coated finish
• Fixing kit included
• Correct-length Gates Micro-V stretch belt supplied
• Compatible with the House of Torque engine mounts supplied by KINGPIN Fab
• Compatible compressor families include selected E53, E70, E83 and E60 applications

Choose the correct version

M57N version: moves the compressor inward by approximately 27mm. This version is for iron-block M57N applications and does not suit aluminium-block M57N2 engines.

M57N2 version: moves the compressor inward by approximately 27mm and approximately 30mm lower to improve intake-pipe / A/C-line clearance. This version can also be used on suitable iron-block M57N applications.

E90 turbo fitment note: E90 donor engines typically use the power-steering pump in the position where the A/C compressor would normally sit, so the complete E90 accessory layout is different. However, an E90-spec M57N2 turbo can still be fitted to another M57N2 conversion. When this turbo is used, its electronic VNT actuator sits further down and closer to the turbo outlet than the E60/E70 arrangement. In that situation, when used with our low-profile A/C bracket, our VNT turbo actuator spacer kit is required to move the actuator away and avoid fouling.

Defender clearance requirements

• M57N2 setup: harmonic balancer to inside of passenger-side chassis rail must be approximately 260mm or less
• M57N setup: harmonic balancer to inside of passenger-side chassis rail must be approximately 270mm or less

A stretch-belt fitting tool is required for installation.

Contact us before ordering if you are using a Pace Automotive Land Rover adapter.

Common questions before ordering

Can I use it in an M57-swapped Patrol or LandCruiser?

This bracket addresses compressor clearance at the engine. A Patrol, LandCruiser or other swap still needs an individual check of engine position, compressor type, chassis and steering clearance, belt alignment and A/C hose routing. The Defender measurements above are not a universal fitment test for other vehicles.

Patrol note: we have had a Patrol owner report that fitting the M57N version gave noticeably more clearance around the brake-line tab area. This may be useful on Patrol conversions where the standard compressor position is tight, but the result will depend on the engine position and mount kit being used. Send us photos and your mount setup if you want us to help check clearance before ordering.

What should I check before installation?

Identify your engine version and compressor before choosing the bracket. Have the required stretch-belt fitting tool available and check the current fitting instructions for your supplied kit before installation. If your engine casting or mounting arrangement differs, contact us before making modifications.

Not sure which version to choose?

Send KINGPIN your vehicle, engine version and compressor details, along with clear photos of the compressor side of the engine and the clearance you need. We can help check the application before you order.

11/16-16 JAM NUTS FOR LAND ROVER PERENTIE, COUNTY, DEFENDER, DISCOVERY 1 & RRC TRACK ROD AND DRAGF LINKS

306 STAINLESS STEEL IN AN EXTRA HD 31mm OUTER OD AND 12.5mm WIDTH!

Custom front coils for Defender 110

Spring rate: 165 lb/in (linear). Free heights: 455/460 mm.

Made by Dobinsons Springs to KINGPIN Fab specifications.

On a Defender 110 with a bull bar and synthetic-rope winch, these springs provide an approximate loaded height of 310 mm (approximately 2 inches of lift), based on a vehicle with approximately 1,280 kg front axle weight.

These longer linear coils suit setups using Superflex arms and 12-inch-plus shocks, helping the spring remain inside the built-in dislocation cone. They are particularly suited to our Weekend Warrior kit. The softer rate allows greater compression than a shorter, stiffer coil offering equivalent lift.

For off-road setups, a softer front coil combined with a retained rear end encourages front articulation. They also suit comfort touring or road driving with front and rear swaybars.

If you would like to sleeve your own casing we can supply the steel bush.

We would suggest an interference fit of 0.02mm and also use ‘bearing fit’ or similar.

The hole that supports the head of the intermediate pin in the LT230 casing is prone to wearing, and the pin elongates the hole so that it is out of round.

This can lead to a transfer case whine, and an oil leak.

These are a stepped bush, and machined from EN24T steel. 

This will now have a longer life than the original housing, as the pin is now supported in the steel bush.
