i did wonder that myself, that jack was one of 2 and axel stands, so i reccon i was safe. The problem appears to be where there have been front mudguards after the outriggers as i've had a good look over the chassis and its pretty good - its had the rear cross member changed at some point though..

one side of the outriggers are done, more problems unfortunately - looks like it needs new shock absorber, track rod end and some welding - welding is done, so what should i do - replace all the socks and springs and go for a lift kit - or should i just go for OEM replacement shocks?

I need the landy to be a good reliable work horse ... and i aint got wads of cash either...

You'll probably need new turret's too and retaining rings. Standard springs and gas dampers, no lift, is the way to go.

Once you have her sorted, buy a bit of 4mm rubber sheet and make wheel arch protectors. They will keep the spray/muck away from your outriggers, and cost very little to make. If you search on here you'll find a couple of threads on them. for example: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/mudflap-extensions-a-tinkering-idea.272885/#post-3323229
