Got to be quick to notice things, me :D

Gets 35's then..... they look the nuts :D
Dont think i will be going for the 35s as it really cut down on the rear articulation, and to get them to work properly seemed a lot of work and still further cutting about
so it will be 33s as not so much work to get them to work right :)

Still it does look good with em ;)
 
Just my 2 pence re all this suspension stuff:D it's not just about how well equipped your motor is, it's a lot to do with driver ability and experience, so for instance you could have a novice driver in a seriously kitted out 90, and an experienced driver in a bog standard series landy, the experienced driver will get further than the novice purely because of experience and he/she knows how to use there motor, also I don't think I'm going to bother lifting my 90 as I think for the money I might as well put a slipper in the rear diff:D:D;)

QFT - I started off roading in a Vauxhall Frontera SWB, I was manageing to get that places that inexperienced people in defenders were struggling with (I will add I have done off road tutition courses, I use to do alot of beach recovery with our boats a few years back and we use to play on the wasteland before they built on it), all I done was put my INSA's on it and wind up the torsion bars

I gave up with it though once I blew the diff up, they just aint as durable as land rovers...

You may be surprised, I ran a vehicle without difflock and managed to get most places, its going to be a dry week (supposedly) so shouldn't be to bad.

I'll be there, got the new box in but got a clinking noise when I brake, think this is pos a uj but easy job will sort tomorrow,once we know who's going should we arrange a meet up before we head over there?

I have hit a snag, after rebuilding the top end (twice :rolleyes:) it now seems to be running on three. I have done a compression check and all is OK so I need to check pump timing and I have a feeling I may have lost an injector, hopefully will still make it for sunday though..

As for meeting up, I think we would all be coming from different directions so might be best to meet there, well unless those coming from your end want to meet up, for me its best to meet there I think...

Count me out for EOR, it looks like I have lost a lobe on my camshaft so need to be doing some serious repairs, got to decide if its worth repairing the current engine, replace the engine and keep this one or get a new disco and strip mine down for parts, I am tempted on a 3 door V8... bloody landrovers, not happy right now!
