I'm in the sudbury area of suffolk and all the ones i used to drive have got TRO's on them. i have resorted to going over the border, Essex council dont seem to like spoiling our fun as much. i have an old copy of Total off road that has a great 60mile route planed out starting from just over the border and me and my mates often spend a sunday following the route, takes a good 7hrs with all the stoping for pics.
im near bures and we go out on lanes over stebbing way and stisted over near stansted braintree there quite good

Decide what you want to do with it, ask your insurance, concentrate on spelling.

yea i think td5 is probably the way to go for road im still not convinced for extreme offroad
is it worth getting them chipped and does that effect your insurance allot

so if i wanted to run 12 out and 24 in i would have two seperate circuits on seperate swithches, and i could run the power ou toff of the rear winch as it doesnt use alot of power paying out

Per winch!!!! 2 total, job done! Get the right batteries and the right alternator and you're away. More batteries mean more weight. More weight means you need more power used. More power used means more batteries needed..... As Colin Chapman said "Just add lightness"
I've got 2 x yellow top optima's (I've always been happy with them) and the world's largest alternator (its 90 amp but it gives it at nice low revs B) ) to go on mine.
the only thjing i was thinking was if you draine the batterys then the alternator will be under alot of load
but we had realised weight was an issue specially as he is running three winches 3 yellow tops and two red tops at the moment

Simex could be better on road but the boggers are acceptable. I disagree (sorry Will) about the "as long as its not sand or bog" comment, The boggers are better on rock, in the wood on tree roots and leafy mulch, when its hard packed, when its hard packed with a slippery layer on top, When its just soft mud, Pretty much all round really. Not as stable on high speed sections as a simex but everywhere else they win, hands down. Also THERE IS NO SIDE SLOPE ISSUE, I was worried about this when I bought them as people had spoken about it. I drive side slopes on my boggers that most people wont even attempt and they are brilliant, I have every confidence in them.
steve what ratio diffs do you use wityh the boggers
and are you useing the 38.5 boggers
thankyou watson

I'd second Super Swamper Tyres Europe. Nice chaps, very helpful and good prices. That's where I got mine. However, you need plenty of power and a very sorted drivetrain to get the best out of them. What do you plan using the truck for? I only ask as Boggers realistically make the car into a trailer queen. Simex are a lot better on road and still cut it as long as the sites not sand or bog.
I guess from the fact your using ep's front means that it won't be a comp car. They are good winches but too slow and the drum's too small.
Sounds like a good project - traybacks are sooooo last season
it will be a comp car
the only reason i thought e.p.9 on the front is because you can buy to e.p.9 for the price of an 8274
my plan was to buyild up a fully gigglepinned 8274 as and when i have the money
