  1. Just done this half an hour ago,hammer and chisel took about 5 minuites to do. But the axle was off and on the floor
  2. A friend of mine's got 285 BFG KM2 muds on standerd boost alloys with no lift or wheel spacers on his TD5 90, looks good and not noticed it rubbing anywhere since we adjusted the steering stops. Jon.
  3. The transfer and gearbox are in the original position and the engine has gone forward, so it should be the same as the 50th/NAS spec auto 90s. We gave it some stick with the lt and nothing went bang, but not sure how long for. The clutch was knackerd after only a few events. Jon
  4. Malcolm Whitbread use's a Renault 5 oil filter on his 4.2 V8 challenge truck, it's only about 4" long. Jon
  5. When we Swopped the 2.5 d for a V8 we used a conversion plate to mate it to the lt77 and had to trim the bulkhead to get the manifolds in, this gives you the engine back as far as it can go with the gearbox and tranybox in original position so no messing with props. Jon
  6. We'll let you off that one Barry did that one all by himself
  7. You might end up on your roof Dan's got a bit of a thing about putting people upside down at the mo Jon
  8. We'll be there had a good time there last year. Jon
  9. Thanks to the organisers and marshalls for a great start to the season. Some really good sections and we had a nice result. See you all at round 2 Jon
  10. Matt my driver carn't do sunday so i'm going to drive and talked a mate into coming to run around for me Will have to give you my msa number at sign on, and uncle malcolm is bringing our helmets up with him. See you all there Jon
  11. Would be interested but that date clashes with the clubman two day event dave Jon
  12. Give Gwyn Lewis a call about a twin alternator bracket, he's just had are challenge truck in to make a prototype bracket for the serp V8. Jon.
  13. We run a Range Rover lse box which I here is a bit stronger than a normal RRC/Disco 1 V8 box. The important bit is you've got to have a good oil cooler and keep it cool ! Jon
  14. We went from a V8 with a lt77 to a auto on our challenge 90, it's one of the best mods we've done and wouldn't go back ! Jon
  15. Try town and country land rovers, there in sandbatch. Jon
  16. We'll be there as well Dan, posted entry form Yesterday. Jon
  17. I live just outside Newport and spend alot of time in Market Drayton at my mates workshop. Jon
  18. On are Whitbread ones the original inner wing fits where it would normaly. Jon
  19. We've got Whitbread standard tube wings, they've had some stick and apart from a couple of rippled panels like Zardos say's are easy to straighten out. Plus i prefer the standard ish look. Jon. There not so shiney anymore but it's the best pic i can find.
  20. Thanks to everyone who set out the punches, there were some really tricky sections shame there wasn't more there to take part. We also snapped a rear rope and spent most of my time on my backside sliding down the banks which my driver found really funny !!! Thanks again see you all next year, Jon.
  21. He's not driven the truck since round 2 at Nant y frith, I've drove it at the last couple of events and had a mate bitch for me. I think he doesn't want to drive it cause i've auto'd it and he doesn't like them ! The trucks all loaded and ready to go just the long drive from Newport to Telford in the morning See you all there, Jon
  22. Tell me about it, it's NASTY sticky clay !!! Rhys did give me the option of driving this one wish i'd said yes Jon
