  1. Sorry to say this Simon & i know i will get slatted for it. I have a Scorpion fold up one .It has on many times been the only Anchor that worked & Is very small when folded up. This is due to the blade being very large i think .But i have never tried a X-blade so i cant comment on that.
  2. R&Ps £1500 per car set approx all i need to do is send them a R&P when i get 5 mins & yes the more the better Overdive !! I run an under drive so i presume thats fck that idea. Plus GKN said it wont take the abuse. 4 speed .If i went down that route i would get a Yank box .But my 3 speed is about as strong as they come with what i have had done to it .The 4 speed they can uprate up will be about the £3k to do plus still wont be as strong. Plus different props etc etc. But who knows ,not me thats for sure i just drive it like i stole it & hope it drives it self on the trailer at the end
  3. Dates ??Location etc ????? Need something to do around X-mas time
  4. Had to convert the 404 lever lockers to the ARB air ram switches as there was getting way too many levers in the cab Now with the front & rear wheel drive being selectable its getting even more complicated . But with a front line lock & front wheel drive unlocked the turning circle should be interesting Just fitted a new gismo o the truck Loaded a pc version of an Offroad racer game into the Tablet ,got a joystick bingo something to do between sections .Wonder if it could be linked to memory map 3d
  5. I run a 3 speed Auto with a 1.003 {or whatever} tranfer box with 42" Iroks on 404 Unimog axles. It will run at 60mph at around 4k Low range is way too low probably 8mph flat out So i run an Ashcroft underdrive .So in high range with Underdrive engaged it will do about 25mph flat out ! This is not ideal though so i am in the process of getting some ring & pinions made around 25% higher ratio. This will allow me to use all ratios & run the car more cooly & economically on road sections. Well thats the plan anyway. The transfer box is about to get the centre diff removeed & a spool fitted also front & rear wheel drive will be selectable. Hope that helps.
  6. BUt what if you have 4 wheel steer Doesnt mention that ???
  7. She said she thought she was on a promise then took a look at the limp excuse of a bulge in your tatty ripped jeans & thought she would stick with Irok not little Simex As for stuck i do belive we were out resueing teams on Simex {ok that had followed our rutts} . Still think the best comment of the weekend was "That's not a scar - This is a scar !" Ps Keep my sister please at least your white
  8. Only just You were next on the hit list until we lost the tyre We only had 2 easy sections to go & 4 hrs to do them until the tyre died & then we were going Team MCS hunting Bucky had already ran away
  9. Anyone here good with designs ??? How about a Bath with Iroks on top a Scorpion LR4x4 around the outside with a big X eng type cross across the whole thing ?????? & even with a twin 8274 on it B)

We are going European next year so you will get better coverage .So maybe translations around the outside as well Jim how about some you've been Giggled Tubbed stickers . simon what about you be X-tubbed Get the drift anymore ideas Obviously we will cherry ick the right events like Jim does B)
  11. Mr Buck went home early so he is getting some complimentary ones posted to D44
  12. Very good event best fun in years The highlight of the weekend was hearing I Quote "i want to make an official complaint marshal for unsportmansly conduct" Can anyone guess who made that Clue is they were stickered just before that comment B)
  13. 20mins didnt that section have a DNF time of 16 mins
  14. Hi , I looked into this & spoke with Mark Adams & John Eales & the conclusion was a differnent shaped sump & overfill dipstick by 1 litre . This solved all my RED light & knocking issues when driving /winching on my side . Not that i ever do that anyway B) The problem with the dry sump is that the dry sump canister has baffles in that need to let the air seperate etc & unless you fitted it into a Jiro {or however you spell it} or someting the dry sump wouldnt solve the problem anyway . My problem wasnt on its side or verticaly forward it was when winching on a vertical wall Well that was what i was told but putting an extra litre in was a lot easier as well
  15. Do they do uprated water proofed ECUs
  16. F**K that again my footwell still smells of S**T from that experience :(Got about 40ft from the top where it goes vertical lifted the front wheels up & bottled Landed blew a tyre of the rim & stalled it Pupper then took over B) After that i got bead locks & took of the carbs & turbo & promised neve to try the Widow maker again That Hill is a must for "walk it first" from the bottom it looks a piece of tiddle fom the top it always snows I defy anyone to drive that 40ft from the fence line unless they are from Iceland !!
  17. Sound bol***ks to me How about "MY mate at Avalanche engineering sold me an ex-demo for $10k" i got the receipt Why do people seem to think that if you have a cheap car you are a better driver ???? By that rating Coiln Mcrae etc are all carp drivers but with good cars {definatelty carp pilots though} Or if youve got a 12" cock you are carp in bed Just mean you can get further in the **** before you run out of travel if you ask me
  18. But a winch pull up the widow maker would be interesting ?? Got some piccys of that if you like
  19. As i said yer yer old timer Agreed mine broke but it broke on the road before actually & if i hadnt been going so fast on your country side ramble maybe the gearbox would of lasted & not got so hot B) As for parts well as a RR owner youself i would of thought you would of noticed that all the debris left behind was from a RR not from my Bespoke hand crafted work of art !!!! Love you baby
