It's a 3.5 v8, series gearbox (so that means rear wheel fun!), overdrive and range rover diffs - that translates to 65 mph quite comfortably on the M6.
Thought i'd take her out for a spin this morning to crewe and back, always puts a smile on your face Although the tyres would have fitted a lot easier in the Ford !
Painted :
See the extra top plate. It's welded to the top pin (welding was no problem to this) and then we've bolted it to the lower top plate 4 times.

Haha...not a chance ! Too much work & hassle in welding !
We added some more plate on top today to try and make them stronger. Not 100% convinced with the welding.
Pump - not yet 100% sure. Currently running a zf74, but Boothy hasn't had much luck with these so will see what other options there are.

I've got a numberplate for a LR Series 2a 1970 if it's any use
Sorry, couldn't resist. Although i do have a perfectly good / legal p38 sorn'd - for parts sat outside
It's from a JCB. Got 8" of travel.
Hubs pretty much fully welded up, just one more plate to make over the top.
Decided to mount the orbital valve in the same place as the normal steering box. Makes plumbing easy and saves me changing the steering column / modifying where the brake servo is etc.

I would, but i can get a second hand set of MTZ with very little wear for £350 ish.... 18" tyres are a problem here. If they were a 17,16 or 15" rim there'd be a lot of choice.

Hello,
Ok i'll be honest and say this isn't for my LR but for my truck.
I'd like to know if anyone on here has used mickey thompson baja MTZ's on the road ? I battle to find tyres for my truck due to it being on 18" rims but i've found a set here in the UK.
It spends 99% of it's time on road the other 1% is driving and and off camp sites when going to challenges !
Thanks
Gordon
