Soren Frimodt Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Wheels arrived today and the tyres were popped on, suits the car much better. 8cm's narrower on the outside means they don't stick out as much making the axles look ridiculously wide. The tyres won't fall off as easy when offroading and dirt won't work its way in between the wheel and tyre as much. So overall a huge benefit, also they look better in Silver on this thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I'm really not a fan of mods, but they look great on there Sören Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I had high hopes that I could use my Wolfrace's on these tyres but it would require 60mm spacers! So modulars are nice and cheap, and atleast the Silver suits the car Just can't wait to get out and test this thing in anger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Frimodt Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 A bit was one today. Steering damper fitted with homemade bracket at the diff to tuck it up nice and high: The regs for the events I want to run nest year requires brakes at all 4 wheels as they are a bit 'speedy' so out came the old drumbrakes that were once fitted to the Sal's: Had it out for a little posing the other day: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I can see how you mimght think sp though I have a "pinion brake" on the back, located at the gearbox where the handbrake assy used to be. A hydraulic disc brake setup using a single RRC rear caliper. Works plenty well with the gearing through the driveline and you save heaps of weight (especially unsprung) BUT seeing as the speed has increased on their events (along with tyre size and HP) they've decided that it needs to have brakes on all 4 corners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Frimodt Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 "Mirror, mirror on the wall" Sitting as far inboards as you do in this, its impossible to see anything just by turning your head (also the top of the seats are pretty wide, blocking the view) So I had hoped that a single mirror in the center would be enough. BUT some jerk has placed the spare-wheel right smack in the middle just because he thought it looked 'Racey' Alas, some more mirrors were required, and I do think it turned out alright, pretty well hidden away and quite protected. Time will tell if it works out: Barely noticeable from the front: And finally the view from the drivers seat: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soren Frimodt Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Well thankfully a project is never done Decided to make winch tray in the back only a week before leaving for 3 weeks of offroading Don't even have a winch to put in there, but might snatch the Warrior off of the 88" Who would've known a Series Drop-plate is perfect for the job? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Frimodt Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 So then, got it all finished up: Protrudes a little bit at the back, but I think it'll be alright: And finally I wasn't pleased with my placement of the waffleboards, made the rear look boring.. So they moved onto the roof instead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
