  1. The boggers seem to be in a league of their own, I've never used anything as impressive. I don't know about the 35x10.5's as there won't be the same floatation but with the larger ones aired down they are effectively like tracks. the scoops seem to give great grip even on greasy climbs... In the soft stuff they clear really well and would only dig until the axles where there is still plenty traction.... Turning out from deep ruts etc pointed the wheels and that's where she went.... Very impressed...
  2. Your best bet is to advertise it on shiply.com LINK and let couriers compete against each other for the best price... You are able to see feedback for service too... I have had some very good deals on carriage through here... Let them know if it's on a pallet/ someone there to help load/ unload packed unpacked etc....
  3. Side light on the outside... As I have on my S1 and the 5 Series 2's I've had... Only one I had with lights vertical was an ex-military Series 2 with MOD Lights... Sidelights at the top indicators bottom...
  4. Rockers in action on the Hi-cap If you want boggers get boggers Phone around and ask about stock etc... SS eurpoe
  5. Good stuff glad to here everything went fine.... Sorry, i'm bloody useless at remembering things like this, if you'd dropped a pm I would have been n the case and posted some extra pics... Dan...
  6. Where's those beers ya promised...? Quiet front end still...? I'll get up to Brahan with the 100" in Jan, see if I can explode everything at least I won't be limping home take it up on trailer...
  7. Looks, like a fun day out.... Next P&P in January...? Are you going up to Eriboll...? B)
  8. Give erm, land rover orphanage a ring.... Use 1 from a series without the centre support... my need some sort of stiffening in the centre..?
  9. I have just stuck some 32mm spring spacer on ebay @ 99p start if your interested.... There are two pairs... SPACERS
  10. I think not.... Truck cabs appear to come off best from what I've seen, seats seem to support the roof somewhat.....
  11. I had a similar incident in my 90 on a flat straight bit of road, not quite as bad as this one though...... Tyre got excited and ran away whilst going to work at 5.30am a friend came up and pulled me back on to my wheels spent ages picking up all my tools and bits and pieces that were scattered everywhere put the spare on and drove it 1/2 a mile home..... Took the scooby to work I had it back on the road that night after I got home though.... New roof doors and windscreen I happened to have sitting around anyway.... There was minimal damage to wings and rear tub and had to pack the bulkhead with some rubbish to stop the wind blowing through......
  12. You won't need any fabrication, I the used existing bolts... Just cut slots in the bumper and with some brute force got it in, it sits upright and does not hit the light washers, I will measure distance forward for you... I took the centre plastic off then done a quick measure and cut the ends off of it, I also had to nibble the corner plastics along the side top corner and the bar sits in very neat..... Nobody's noticed any of my butchery unless I point it out to them... TBH I never really measured much as usual and got stuck in with the grinder.... All worked out well though....
  13. I managed to get the rr classic wrap around bar on with a little butchery.... I'll try and get a few pictures for you, won't see it in daylight until Sunday though... If you drop a PM sat night or something to remind me... Dan
  14. 245/75R16's fit on mine and don't scrape on full flex, with wheel spacers on they just touched the rear.....
  15. I'd say it looks fine... Is there a pic like the top one but of the drivers side..? Back wheel looks a little far forward?
  16. This one was on ebay not so long ago.... And here's mine.... There's a few others around here too...
  17. The units at the end of the axles rotate.... When down the way they 'lock out' (for towing) and the trailer is at full height.... When up the way the wheels disapear in to the arches as it lowers.... There are no suspension units as such... When down the way you get the same gain as you would with portal axles as the centre of the wheel is lower than the axle centre/bottom.....
  18. Could do with a little 12V hydraulic pump for raising the bed as it's just manual at the moment, only other mods would be to fit something for holding the wheels on the buggy out with the bed... Ideal for whatever I see fit anyway with about 100 tie down points on the bed and strong hand winch up front... Any ideas for a good little pump....?
  19. Portal axled trailer... Big ground clearance for off road towing..... drops to the floor, so low you could drive an F1 car on overall width 8' 6" 14' 6" long bed....
  20. 245/75R16 on standard wheels... With an offset it would be less
  21. Haven't really have that much time to be getting on with them with doing other bits and pieces to the buggy having a number of other vehicles to up keep and working on friends cars/ land rovers.. (Its that never enough hours in the day thing)
  22. They're not fitted yet they're at about this stage....
  23. They should have some in stock just now as far as I know.... They just took some back from France a few weeks ago.... They don't always have stock Max waiting time would be a month I'd expect.... They're quite rough with them... Just butcher them to get em off....
  24. Yes I'm fitting two lockers... It's reasonably straight forward.... Pull a locking diff to bits and pull a non locking diff to bits then bolt the ring gear from the locker on to the non locking part.... Machine the lip on the locking diff off and machine into a resese so the two halves the ring gears were bolted to fit together... bolt everything back together then stick the diff in upside down.... Then you have two lockers.... Front one is fine as is.... Prop shafts: I've used land rover shafts as they are the same splines as the simca diffs so ground the end off of a prop so your left with the bit that slots in the the tube... Then cut the splined part of the shaft to length and machined the centre out so the end of the prop fits in and welded it up.... Then a normal land rover shaft goes on no problem after you've made it up to the desired length.... I've opted for running land rover rims (most wouldn't bother) so I had a decent selection of rims easly available and can fit baby wheels for trailering it...
