bump

Have had this on the roof for a while now and no issues. Don't even think about it now so will def be staying up there out of the way. Happy days.

Eve all. My 90 was originally a 2.5td and now has a 300tdi disco engine installed, standard gearbox lt77 and discovery transfer box, and a lift kit.. either 2" or 3". I have disco axles as far as i can tell. My thoughts are that the transfer box is in original position still in relation to...

nope. seems happy up there at moment:D

Surely in a hot climate as that one is.. it's not doing much to help the rad putting it there.

I cant mitch. The lights are positioned in such a way that they would be crushed when opening door, if door mounted. The normal rear cross member is replaced with a heavy duty angled bumper which means that the body work has been adjusted in rear corners, not therefore enabling fitment of a...

..........yes it bleedin well is... :eek:

all sounding pretty good as reasons not to bonnet mount with my 265s, let alone my thought of going to 285s. When i was with the forces i watched a spare being dropped from a roof, but was a US vehicle.. and boy did it bounce up and smack the vehicle hard. Massive dent in side panel from what i...

Thanks for all that info guys. Definitely sticking with roof rack now. Just need to sort fixing properly now. I figure that a tree strop through wheel would be good to lower it down when needed.

That'what i was wondering.. hence putting on roof rack. The shear weight concerns me. Also was wondering if the width would mean it would likely catch windscreen when bonnet lifted as wouldn't want it too far forward i guess.

As per title.. does anyone have this size wheel bonnet mounted.. and how do they find it with weight on lifting bonnet, viability etc. I'm wondering if it will be just too much, even in getting bonnet to release on catch !! Thanks in advance

This is for payydg (hi lift mount i've used)

Looks good. Couldn't find what i thought was one in the garage.. but will look one up locally. Thanks.

Hi Guys, i get what your saying completely, and although some of it may be a little overkill (so to speak) there is a practical element to it also in that my hobbies and of shooting and falconry often take me into places (especially tracking a hawk) that havn't been used for a while on the...

Hi trax. Its padlocked in and if they knick it they would only get water as its there for carrying water for the horse when she goes out with him in the trailer. I'll have one with fuel should i do a decent long journey, but thats unlikely and if i do.. i'd put it in back overnight etc. Mainly...

Sounds like a good idea Bluedog.. i might even have one of them in garage hiding in a box. Keep me posted on how you get on with fitting yours. It's sounding like most are anti the pod so far lol. I'm not so keen in the colour it is currently.. but with a few little tweeks yet to come i'm...

I think i need more than luck lol. Ear Defenders to start.

I'm just trying to keep some sanity and get some work done. Mind you the noise here.. i might just take him back and sit in my office.

The mounts are good.. i'll look up the name when i get home. Im in a kids play centre right now. Roll on Monday. I had them in a pack in a box in garage for last 4-5yrs along with the pod lol. What do youn guys think to keeping the round spots on roof rack along with others as shown. I was...

Thanks again Brown. Will have a ganders over w'end.
