If you're using the concrete as the floor of the shed put a damp proof membrane down first, nothing more unpleasant than a damp shed. Obviously if you're putting a timber floor over it no problem. Mike

I have two types of mach5 single beadlocks above is my spare wheel, yellow is outer rim the white ring clamps the tyre to the yellow rim. However these need tubes really which kind of makes them double beadlocks ish. The others have the white ring as part of the wheel with a removable outer rim. These you need to stretch the inner tyre bead over the ring and onto the wheel bead. The outer bead sits against the ring the the rim bolts on and traps the tyre bead. These can be used tubeless as they are easier to seal. The other thing to remember is the mach5 type of beadlocks is technically road legal as it's just a split rim. The type that clamps the bead between two flat rings is not. Mike

Old photo but 255/85x16 on our 110. Personally these are perfect, they look great, add a little height, fit stock suspension just and raise the gearing a little so it cruises better. Mike

I think we needed to swap the quantity for etch and high build. 3ltrs of etch or a sealing primer if it's already got paint on it (unless you know what the paint is) 5ltrs of high build would be enough to coat give a good flat back and coat again. Then 3-5ltrs of paint depending on colour and number of coats. With hind sight more paint on mine would have been better, but I should of lacquered mine (metallic) and didn't. It's lasted well given I don't clean it and it's now 8 years old. What ever you do only put filler on after the first high build. DO NOT put filler on bare metal it will fall off. Mike

Bluetooth centres, I've heard about them. Mike

I can remember how much paint @TSD got when we painted his, but we painted both his long and short wheelbase ibex. Mike

I bought 5lts of paint for my ibex and it was enough for 3 good coats, plus 3 coats on a Sankey tool box trailer. Mike

Which was exactly my point about not putting logs under it for transport. Mike

It's cropped up on faceache a few times. From what I've seen whilst not illegal the police will almost definitely pull you and at best make thinks difficult. Logs under is I think a bad idea as it's additional weight, will make it taller and potentially unstable, you can always jack it up when you get to location. Mike

If your replacing the turrets it seems like a good time to fit new dampers unless they're only a couple of years old. It does sound like they are working fine and the oil dampers on our 110 are over 10 years old (one has a big dent in the side but still works fine) so don't rush to change them. Mike

I agree some are more practical than others, I'm afraid I've never been a fan of the alucab style I just don't like the way they look closed. The one above however looked very discreet and as I parked next to it I thought I'd share. Mike

Technically you only need to do the front as it's a split system. But as everyone else has said do them all, start at the furthest away from the master cylinder and don't forget the fronts have 3 bleed nipples from memory. Mike

Yes I agree. I just liked the way it was nice and subtle. Mike

Surely that's just cooling. Mike
