ok as long as you don't slip the clutch or spin a wheel. Cos the minute you do, you'll snap an halfshaft & 45k is taking the ****.

I assume that has dislocating coils?
If so... i don't get dislocating coils, cus, surely as soon as it dislocates it removes all pressure off the axle meaning the wheels are more likely to just not grip in mud and stuff???
or am i missing something? (quite possible!)

Doesn't remove all pressure, just some. The wheel that is touching down is still exerting a turning moment on the axle, so there is more than just the axle/wheel/tyre assembly weight on the ground. Maybe notalot, but it _is_ there and it _is_ better than having a tyre not touching anything, especially with an open diff.

Im sure ive seen that for sale before.
£45K might be the build price but i dont think anyone will buy it for that. Maybe £30K

They are not half arsed dis location cones , its about £2k of fox coil overs and god knows how much worth of king hydraulic bump stops.
Added to that its proper 4 link suspension so it will articulate properly at the front and not bind like radius arms.
It might look like a landy but theres only a few panels that it shares

Are people seriously spending this sort of money? You could get a higher end motor for that not some shed. Who can afford that for a hobby? Is there prize money?

Its the way the sport has gone, by sport I dont mean fking about having a laugh
its not a poor mans thing anymore and you couldnt build that truck for £45k(new parts) with its t45 space frame etc and high end running gear.
Im starting a build in the new year which will have £10k of gpin winches alone, with out adding the cost of top spec suspension and running gear. Im not saying its a good thing its just what happens with all motorsport

Yeah but where is the reward? Is there sponsership or prize money to return the investment?

Not road legal, of no practical use, £45k to build, whats the point?
More to the point, it's up for sale which says it all really.
