cheers Rob, really pleased with the way it looks - the wheels need to go satin black next! :cool:

I think I'll look at getting some rubbing strips to replace the ones i've taken off as I don't like the holes they leave too.

There's a company on eBay doing black checker plate for sills, higher than standard that covers holes from moulding removal. £89 I think
 
tell me about it - there should be some pictures of bodged shelters with tarps and bungee's to keep work on the disco going through the winter somewhere in this thread.

Far from fun - unlike collecting parts to fit to the disco! I still have bits in the shed to fit!

Check out my thread I know where your coming from - working on a drive unlike some lucky sods with big lovely warm garages lol

in a way its probably a good thing though otherwise I'd be playing all year round

Top stuff! Thanks for that! Just need to decide if i want the rubbing strips and black chequer pkate or just chequer plate. I think both will look quite smart...
 
Went to play at Boxgrove Pay and Play Sunday just gone

LINKY


Met cartoonhead at sainsbury's for 10am and then convoyed the whole 10 minute drive to the site to meet a couple of other guys I've got to know through the local P&P's


Considering there was no rain the week before the place was quite dry - until you got into what is normally the "winching area" which I can only liken to custard - a nice solid skin on it, drive onto certain area's and you break the skin and end up in the gooey stuff - at one point upto the door handles! :lol:

Not a huge amount of pics, I believe cartoonhead has some footage and so does my mate on his phone so when I work out how to merge all the crappy little vids into one i'll upload em onto youtube and post a linky!


Sunday was a testing day for me, to see how the set up works etc and I can confirm - I need more lift! :lol: Those 35's nearly made mince meat of my noo arches so I now have the decision of down sizing to 33's or going higher - my only issue is roof clearance on the tight area's off road and on the lanes

Also I need to give gwyn lewis a ring and get some of his dislocation cones with the hooks, I have some without the hooks which lost an hour of the day jacking the body up and standing on the wheel to get the spring back in!

The drive home also highlighted a horrible wobbly/juddering sensation through the whole car and noticably through the steering wheel.

I'm thinking bushes so I've taken a bit of a gamble as I know the poly bush kits are a bit like marmite on here and taking that into account I've found a bearmach polybush kit with a 60k/3 year warranty on it for just under 90 quid (can't justify spending 300 quid on bushes!)

SO in theory this poly bush kit will last me 3 years or I should get a replacement or money back - i'm dippin me toes in and I'll let you all know how it goes! :doh: :lol:

anyway - i'll stop rambling and get to the interesting bit....

Came out the woodland to be faced with this:





my response... POWOARRRRRRR

which resulted in the above - and from a distance:





Earlier on in the day the missus had a drive of it for the first time - let her do some puddle splashing and a couple of small steep climbs/decents and a couple of bigger but not so steep climbs/decents which she did very well amongst lots of shrieking



Towards the end of the day got a tad silly :lol:

my mates truck cab 90 (which is on 37 inch maxxis trepadors on beadlocker rims) getting well n truely stuck:






and finally - home, safe and sound after washing the disco's belly:

 
she did help actually! I'll give that to her! although I do remember getting proper stuck and having to climb out the window and all she did was inform me the footwells were filling up and take a photo of me laid on the bonnet elbow deep in mud trying to find the recovery points! :lol:
 



just so you can all have a chuckle and tell me I should have put the straps/shackles on BEFORE attempting it... won't be making that mistake again in a hurry! :lol:
 
just found the pictures of the recovery after I had to lay on the bonnet:




Goppin! This took some cleaning!



took a Warn 8274 with a bow3 motor and snatch block to get me out that gunk!
 
:doh:

yea, like I said on the previous page - tyre's nearly ripped aches to pieces/vice versa so need to either go higher or get smaller tyres.
 
:lol: clearly wasnt thinking last night.... putting a picture of the missus is always a risky business!

I can promise plenty more though....





Of the landy!
