wanting to make my series a little better of road......

anyone done any mods
how can in make it better ofroad
 
I know i have..its too cold for beer, which is forbidden at work...no mention of meths though so i think i'll be ok.
 
EVEN if they were well made........EVEN if they fitted.......EVEN if they didn't fall to pieces in 6 months......your driving a leafer, how much difference do you really think they'll make to your ride?

A resounding NO on that one then.. does ANYONE have any faith in the dreaded bitpart..? may have used a swivel oil seal before realising:doh:... not having that off again in a hurry in this weather..

Series 2' and 2a's and threes and even.. ones were built for off road... there is nothing needed... apart from driving skills...and a hot drink... and maybe a scarf!:cool:
 
Taller tyres and a set of parabolics with +2" procomp shocks will make a big difference

I wouldn't bother with polybushes the rubber ones are more flexible anyway,which is what you want offroad

can i sneak a little question in here?

why?

have you been stuck/unable to get anywhere/laffed at because of poor off road performance?

if not, seems a slightly odd excersise. If you want to do it then that's a good enough reason too tho.

bigger tyres help on and off road, i'm running 7.5 x 16 and thy give a slight speed advantage but an acceleration hit.
 
i have just fitted 7.50 * r16 s.a.gs which seem to be better than what were on and yeah i have been stuck where other landys will go...
 
A few mods can make a big difference, at the time this vid was taken the only mods were:

parabolics
+2" procomp shocks
+2" spring shackes
265/75/16 insa turbo special tracks

oh,and a throbing V8 under the bonnet!!
 
All you need is big chunky tyres :) I also have 265 75 16 Insa Special Tracks and they are a million times better than the old 7.50 SATs I had on there. I've also got 1 tonne lift shackles so the tyres don't foul the arches when flexxing and a 200tdi which really gives it some punch :)
