It really depends where you are and what the lanes are like, I can't think of much in Sussex where you'd struggle in a 130 and places like Salisbury Plain you'd be fine but I spent a weekend in Yorkshire at the end of June and people were having to shunt back and forward to get round some corners in 110s, dry stone walls and rocks are less forgiving than hedges!!

yeah a 130 would be okay in surrey/sussex way, might need the odd shunting but very rarely i would say

Late to the party by some amount but I'm bang up for. Anyone around the eastbourne area? Got a disco 1 that is running well for the moment and I'm looking for some folks to go exploring with! I've found a few potential lanes but I'm not massively experienced at handling the trickier stuff as this is my first 4x4!
You'll be fine round here, there's nothing very challenging in Sussex, though the Pevensey marsh lanes have a reputation for being very muddy, I wouldn't venture into them alone, most of the other lanes- old coach road, robin post, Jevington and the cluster around rotherfield and around Hastings are mostly not challenging, still a nice drive though

Yeah mine isn't up to that kind of plugging! I'm after a little bit of slip'n'slide but not 'all hands, prepare to dive'.
Top job on the trayback! Is that a recovery shackle on the roll cage pillar?

Awesome. What days are you usually about? And by the looks of it you'll show me up with what you're driving

I work odd hours so usually Saturday, Wednesday and Thursday, although it does change. The big test would be if my D1 actually makes it to Rotherfield!

Are you from Rye? Your trayback wasn't parked on the Strand opposite the chip shop a few weeks back was it?

Mines in bits and the weather is hampering any sort of progress
I am thinking about scouting out a route for the lanes that are not subject to winter closures for later on in October before the surfaces become too susceptible to damage.

Oh yes
Believe it or not this is actually the rear sill body mount
I'm chopping the sills right out and replacing them with box section and brand new YRM body mounts, got new wheel tubs, boot floor side sections and a new boot floor to go in as well as a repair to the chassis, won't take too long but need the weather on my side a little for the amount of welding I've gotta do!
What's up with yours then mate?
