  1. My new Buggy will have 2 ARBs , & 4 free spool devices The ARB pump will run it but i will run a 2.5Gallon air tank with a manifold to take all the fittings etc. The problem i had in the past was all the weight hanging off the pump with all the extra free spools etc. Also with the tank we have fitted a connector so if the ARB pump fails {as it did in Croatia this year & Tay 2 years ago}we can plug the Quick Air 3 on it & charge the system. I have a T-Max & fot VFM its great but will cut out after filling one 44 in the summer .The Quick Air will run all day & night ,fill a 44 from 4-154 in about 2 mins But you get what you pay for !
  2. Matecant ever remember you doing that
  3. UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM & then it goes bang 5 dyas later in Croatia
  4. Not on my new Buggy but they do fit super chargers
  5. Actually {in Ali-G voice} that wasnt a roll it was just on its side Fancy a go in the new Buggy in Ireland this year ??? Its only going to have 450hp & be around 700kg lighter
  6. Must disagree Ive rolled it plenty of time in a straight line with lockers engaged
  7. Forget lockers get 4 wheel steer
  8. If money isnt a problem dump the LR axles or entire car & build something that wont break if you look at it
  9. Be hard as i've bought it & its being built in Belgium
  10. Hey 44s on any LR axle make me laugh I used to twist the half shafts & knacker the sliding collar with 33 x 12.5 TSl & a TDI . Never had a problem with the diffs ,maybe the stress never got that far as the shafts lasted about 10 mins. This was probably 8 years ago though. 44s on a 24 spline LR shaft i think they would snap if you jacked the wheel up & span it They weigh 11 stone on a rim All i can say is how often do you hear about ARBs not working ???? I'm having ARBs on my Hi-9 s with portal drop boxes & 450 Hp & 44 Boggers so time will tell My pennys worth is dont waste money on modifying a LR axle in the 1st place change it to a stronger axle to start & save hassle & money in the long run. How about Ashcrofts new axles ??? £6k ish a pair but if they last then it would be worth it. must be £3.5k with all the goodies in a LR axle anyway & they wont last. Run anything bigger than 33s & 200hp on Ashcroft or Kam shafts & they still break at events .But if you are light footed & watch when you engage the locker then stay with LR axles . Want them to work with 35" plus whenever & however you want then say bye bye to CVs & shafts. Love you all bored now
  11. Aan 44s breaking them Very nice though Dave sure they will get banned though !!!
  12. Depends on what truck your using 1000hp buggy & cut tractor tyres & it doesnt need to be frozen
  13. Simon, Sponsor us one for Croatia this year & were let all know how it went In the mean time i've found my Pull Pal excellent it has never failed once & the only time i have broken it was when i rolled the truck at Manby & bent the handle
  14. I use 3 Russians as they dploy the rope & lay on it whilst winching but cost fraction of a Winch sail !!
  15. Can i just turn up on Sunday if i get it going sataurday ???? Then obviously take it straight home again when it breaks Oh yer & need a bitch for the day Jez you busy all the Hob Knobs you can eat
  16. Thanks for the tip I remember years back i was about 18 & had my 1st speed boat & knew even less about engines than i do now Well i was in the water & my mate was in the boat pulling leads off the out board to see what was missing etc & complaining like a tart about the shocks he kept getting So i said F**k of you tart its only 12v & pulled the 1st lead off tingled a bit from memory
  17. Has anyone fitted one ??? Ive bought one back from the US for my Serpentine V8 apparantly they only need a 12V supply & a tacho hook up ?? Done that but what gives the ECU its pulse or switches the Distributor etc ????? Peter
  18. Are there spaces left as we are up for it now Well as long as the truck has its new ignition system ready to test
  19. Jez,Out of interest how much does your truck weigh fully fueled with a spare tyre etc etc Weighed mine last week with 180L of fuel spare tyre ,ladders etc etc Have a guess
  20. Got one as a centre winch on the Bathtub works fine so far!! Hope i never need to see how waterproof it is Its about 5ft in the air & in the centre of the truck Seems like a snail compared to the other 2 winches but a hell of a lot cheaper
  21. Cheaky HUNT how did you know Jims missus is co-driving for me
