    Not a bobtail a 6x6

    6X6 is doable but the drive to the rear axle is a ball ache, I was going to do a 6X4 as trailing rear axle on air springs would allow you to drop pressures to let middle drive axle do it's thing traction wise. You want one of these from Foley engineering though.

    Not a bobtail a 6x6

    I would go for 18" extra and leave it 4x4. YRM inner wings are the bomb 100% worth every penny.

    Central locking function

    Plug and play but are you getting full 12V and a good earth to the actuator? Self medicating with Stella to ward off the Corona ;):D:D:D

    T'was nice to sit and jaw over a brew or three :) That A339, well then, it has a posted speed limit of 50mph, well I came to the conclusion that the 50mph isn't actually a speed "limit" but actually a speed "aspiration" FFS what a god awful road to drive, border line third world road surface...

    I do believe so, certainly cranks out some heat when you turn it up to gas mark 8 :D Are you in quarantine this week? Only asking as I thought I might come raid your bikkie barrel Thursday evening if you weren't busy?

    Family fine well sort of, her indoors is living the dream, Dottie has been SAS trained in the womb to radically alter anything she can get her paws on, mother in law in and out of hospital like a revolving door, my mum is feeding me up as I go there for dinner and the check on her as she's not...

    Not terribly well after a bad bout of the flu I have done stuff all and it seems plans for the weekend might end up stuffed again. Life is getting very heavy at the mo with mother in law not being well and her indoors had a call tonight saying that she might have to be hospitalised so she's...

    Bankz's 110 Double Cab

    Had to google as TD5 not my bag. Looks a very tasty bit of kit, bit steep on the price but that's what custom parts cost and the aesthetics are certainly worth it.

    For any of you thinking stripping an engine is beyond you......

    I've done a few, most lived and were better, a couple didn't and they were too far gone in terms of wear and cost of parts at the time. She did well though didn't she.

    Mine is on the verge of becoming my daily again, I had enough of this house bashing sheeet, these twunts amaze me at their ability to get socks on (can't vouch for whether or not they're matching though!!!), time for a change very soon.

    Sweet. I had so many plans this week to get out there for a few hours each night, the weather has indeed been very reasonable to be fair. I'm sick, been horrifically ill for about a week now, started off with a bit of a sore throat and it's had a Kodak moment and developed into full blown flu...

    MT TYRES 265 70 16 WHAT PRESSURE ON STOCK DISCO

    35psi is a super nice tyre pressure for those as it still gives good deformation and they are by nature a very flexible tyre so the increased pressure will help achieve good MPGs ;)

    You can easily take a fused feed off the fuse box to a USB socket.

    Nice. If you have flat sheet steel the inner wings are actually quite easy, it's a very easy cheat to buy ready made but perfectly doable to make your own.

    2" requires very little, extended hoses being part of it, extended bump stops are only if you are running very tall tyres as they are intended to stop you stuffing the tyres into the arches, adjustable panhard rod is debatable and I'm not convinced that +2" is necessary, happy to be proven wrong...
