  1. Terrafirma medium 2"get my vote!

    Just a quick question back, did you trim your arches with your tyres/lift kit? just got a set the same size but not yet had time to play around fitting them to see how they perform.

    Cheers

  2. post-21141-12791308936_thumb.jpgpost-21141-12791309732_thumb.jpg Here are a couple of photos of a Mini based jeep kit car thing that the old chap was building in about 1982

    All from scratch.

    He used a scrap cooper S for the engine and running gear,

    He did get the panel work done after a few years, then it sat on a trailer in our garden for years and slowly rusted away :(

  3. Very happy with the set up(Terrafirma medium) like anything though, the moment you go away from "standard" you will start getting knock on effects through the drive train,

    As i said im now looking at getting cranked rear radius arms, different prop, etc.

    I use mine every day for work too, so i do have to be a bit carefull with it off road, its not just a toy.

    Saying that im about to go for larger tyres for off roading, so im bound to bugger something else up soon!

    The joys of LR ownership! :D

  4. Funny enough, im not to sure what make my doughnut was! but it was showing signs of wear about a week later!

    brought it off ebay cheap! so could have well been Sh*tpart, the thing just exploded :blink:

    Luckily did save the old genuine one, so its now back on untill i pick up a 200 prop and flange

  5. I would have thought if they are the factory springs they would be a bit tired by now! :unsure:

    Why not try a set of H/D standard height springs? (Bearmach blue, or genuine) You could then go on to add a 1" spacer if you didnt want the full 2".

    I went to a 2" lift and have no problems with the handling,infact it made it better, still got anti roll bar on though, i do a fair amount of motorway miles too, still sits quite happy at 75-80mph
