Happy New Year all!!
I spent the morning giving the Defender and my mountain bike a good clean. Realised that mine had loads more mud up the sides compared to all the others due the wheel spacers on mine...Might have to look at moving or extending my mud flaps.
Bobbyell, I'm up for a Nav rally and willing to give you a hand setting up or recceing routes etc. Just let me know.

New rear HD springs on! Easy job! Except the car was determined to fall off the jacks, and did, twice. Luckily onto the blocks of wood so only dropped an inch.msits a good 3" higher now (and level)

And happy new year!

About to fit 265/75/16's to my disco and the 235/70/16 muds I normally use were catching on the back when I went laning. I also carry a fair bit of gear in the back of mine. If it means a bit less cutting of the wheel arches they'll be worth it.

I've had 265/75 on for a while now, they really filled the arches, but with the HD on the back they're much better. Cut the rear arch at the back at 45% and had to bend the 'lip' of the arch back flat (to save cutting it and leaving sharp edges) don't catch at all now, and don't look odd. I'll try and stick a before and after pictures up when I get home if you like?

Yeah I cut the arches on me other disco but that were 3 door so piece of ****. Use me lead dressing tools to shape and fold it. This ones 5 door and I wanna avoid cutting the doors if possible.

Ah okay, I didnt cut mine that far purely for that reason.
