You've done the hard bit! Just chop the trumpet off. Plenty of room then for the battery.
I like your style Sir!
Why didn't I think of that?!

Hi all,
Forgive me if this is a frequently asked question (I've searched the forum but can't find what I'm looking for) but I want to fit an additional winch battery in the near side tray on a '88 Vogue.
I've moved the vacuum reservoir and the power steering reservoir but I'm at a loss as what I can do with the air filter, I'm planning on fitting a snorkel in the near future, would this solve the problem?
Would greatly appreciate any pictures of a similar instalation.
Many thanks,
Mick.
(Sorry, it's a 3.5 EFI!)

Ordered a set of 35" Creepy Crawlers online last week...
Had a call yesterday informing me they can no longer source them and yet they are still listed on the website...
-
Thanks very much,
Will extend the copper as well.
Another job on the list!

loosing the arb will also give you a little more articulation so its a win win mine handles fine without them and im now on a 6" lift
leads me on to another question I'm afraid!
My kit has dislocation cones & + 2" braided S.S. brake hoses, with increased axle articulation surely these will be a weak point?!
If I'm correct how long do the hoses need to be?
Thanks again,
Mick.

Ditto. Put HD springs on, took ARBs off and no difference in handling.
Superb, saves getting the MIG out!Thanks very much gents, will loose the ARB's B)

Easiest way is get rid of the ARB
Cheers Pux / Gelf
Won't that make it a pig on the twisty stuff? (New springs are HD and don't give much)
Will it go through the MOT without the anti-roll bar?
I like your thinking but want to keep it legal.

Hi all,
Have taken the RR on the road for the 1st time today following a 3" suspension lift (springs, dampers and radius arms changed), on the road I'm getting a bloody awful grinding noise.
When I shuffled under the truck it was obvious that the front prop has been rubbing on the anti-roll bar, hence the noise!
Question is how do I correct this?
Is it just a case of making longer brackets for where the anti-roll bar attach to the body?
Thanks in advance,
Mick.

You have to tick the checkbox labelled 'Add a copy of this message to my sent items folder' at the bottom of the PM to save it.
Ahh, so it was just me then!
Thanks Gents.

FridgeFreezer,
I have read with interest your articles on Megasquirt, I have tried to PM you a couple of times with a view to purchasing a full kit but the PM's don't show up in my sent items (possibly because I'm a newbie?)
Would greatly appreciate it if you could make contact.
Many thanks,
Mick.

Thanks very much for the replies.
I don't mind modifying the inner wings or arches but thanks for the pointers.

Yet another tyre question I'm afraid
I've just finished fitting a 3" lift kit including new radius arms and am now thinking about tyres, from what I've read 37" are probably more trouble than they are worth, so have been looking and two packages:
1) Creepy Crawlers 35 x 12.5 R15
2) BFG MT's 35 x 12.5 R15
Terrain is mainly mud / shale with occasional rock work, I have on board air so dropping pressures to suit is not a problem.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
-
Thanks very much for the answers Gents!
Don't know why but that link doesn't want to work for me, any chance you could pm me a couple of piccies?
Many thanks,
Mick.

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to this excellent forum and have a question.
I'm currently building my second bob tail RR but this time I want to fit a rear winch as well as the front one, is this possible on a RRC?
I've searched this forum and google but can only find Defender items.
If it matters the RR in question is an '88 Vogue SE V8.
Thanks in advance,
Mick.
Superb, saves getting the MIG out!
oil in hub. Help!!!
