WHO?

piglets diahatsu looks good on the lightforce stand! B)

i think 52 inch tractor tyres are the way forward!! well you've got plenty of gears to choose from!! any progress with the cage? Hugh

They look good!

well do they? stazworks style? any agricultural wheel suppliers that would weld in your centre of choice into a blank? i thought i'd ask the collective lr4x4 brain before i make my own inquiries! Cheers Hugh

i thought this would be of interest http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/PHP_Modules/...ftopic95576.php cruiser/3.5 rover v8, twin turboed, intercooled/unimog axles, 42's

actually, i take it back! my first event was a club offroad driving day at bala, at the time i had a 90 with a disco 200tdi in and a milemarker, mtrs and on the way down the radiator decided to discard its fins, which left us driving back up to cumbria at 40mph, good day though!

i use the continental style of storage which is a pile or if i have alot i make pile's

i have a gasless mig i mainly use it for thin metal welding and tacking heavier stuff, for that we have an arc, we had an old arc that was oil cooled and 30amp it was good, but gasless does most of my welding to a decent quality

2001 Ae challenge doing the black runs in a 2.8td trooper with a mile marker and dirt devils, got mildly stuck in the boggy glade sank and had 6 inches on peat on the bonnet, good fun

so whats left to do to waterproof them? as ive been looking at these engines recently

yeah 500ish i'd say too

4 to 5 inches in cumbia at the moment, still snowing/blizzards, roads are fine for 4x4's, car drivers doing 3mph for some reason?!

well done sir its good to see someone making the most of the lakes over christmas, once im mobile again il be keen to come along on such trips!

build it yourself and learn, be it welding or megasquirting (where im directing my grey matter) and learn and when possible buy from homegrown genuine enthusiasts/people cleverer than yourself! in a world of morals (or lack of) this is what i stand by, i.e if you want cranked trailing arms go to dollythelw, proven and money back to the roots all coming from a landcruiser driver with a rover heart! take it easy hugh

welcome to knowlsey safari park

my vote goes to the shotgun blank, its worked for my neighbour for quite a while, mind you he has updated to a maze of lazer beams, set above cat height that seems to work very well

well spotted! ill see what he says cheers hugh

lj70 cruiser wheels? oops you want 16 inch trooper rims maybe, but i have a feeling they are 7inch

cracking dvd's fellas! the frogs driver is sporting a white shirt!!! and the quad riders are keen! mind you the wobbling swamp in the russian dvd looks damn scary!!! thanks again fellas!! Hugh

yeah im in just north of penrith, but am without, a recreational 4x4 at the moment thats 1- roadworthy 2- in one bit 3- hasnt got heavy duty springs in the back!!

yeah stazworks came to mind too, ill point him in their direction i think! anyway thanks for the replies!! B)

i have a mate in botswana who is doing alot of bush driving and hes looking for a set of split rims for a 110! do they actually exist? he'd even consider getting some made! so do they exist? and how much? cheers Hugh

one set for me please! cheers Hugh

2 hours north from manc would get you to the lakes and just alittle more would get you to southern scotland to the Ae 4x4 club and their forest, they allready run a weekender saturday is red runs around twiglees,, i think this year(i didnt go as was working) and sunday is the black routes, so bottomless peat, trees, the usual forest delights, unfortunatly its just been, but it might be workable into a series, google ae4x4 they have a pretty good website, see what they think

I'd say there is enough, im part north lakes and we travel some distance already to events id say there'd be plenty of our club that would be interested
