Hi everyone, had a really good days driving at a pay and play today. Have been there once before and it was really hard work then, even worse now. The whole site is on clay and you end up just fighting for grip most of the time, Hard work but good fun.

It was not far from Pease Pottage, Warninglid. Mach 5's are the dogs, when i first saw them i knew that was what it had to be. Got mine second hand on ebay with tyres, putting larger tyres on when i've got the cash, may not be for a while now just haven't got the money coming in now.

I've got a 4 inch suspension lift, 2 inches on springs and 2 inches on spacers. I change all the radius arms as well but if your trying to do it on the cheep the old radius arms will work but the road handling will be crap. I don't like body lifts because it seems like hard work undoing hard to get to rusted in bolts, but each to there own. If you really want to go big, 3 inch suspension kit, 2 inch spacers and 2 inch body lift, fit an arch kit and 37 tyres, lots of money.

Khumo KL71's better than BFG's and half the price. Don't take my word for it. Loads of 4x4 mags are saying the same

Great Pics Kris! Looks like a fun place to be... not sure I would have got much driving though... too sticky for my little tyres!

Took the disco down its first lane in a month. Transfer box started making all manner of nasty noises again. Might be a complete strip out this time, though I am gonna disconnect the front prop and see whether the nasty noises continue first.

I took the dog for a walk down Lilley lane yesterday. The water in the ruts were topped with ice, but the road to Lilley from my house was lethal, the Landy was sliding all over the place. XL's on frozen tarmac are very scary. I'm seriously thinking of putting my winter tyres on, before I kill myself. It'll stop me laning on spec, but if the snow comes, I'll earn a fortune rescueing people.
