So my shiney new parts turned up :)
Spent most of today getting the front axle off.
Ended up snipping the copper brake lines to get the damns off!
As with most jobs on the landy you try and sort one thing out and another 10 things to fix spring up straight away. Will be...
I literally don't know what has just happened. Managed to convince myself i need a couple of early xmas prezzies so i got a bit carried away.
- terrafirma 2inch springs and shocks
- -2inch rear shock mounts
- rear re-location cones
- -2inch turrets
- front relocation cones
:o...
Just been thinking about that then. Wish i'd have done that now, think its gunna be a nightmare trying to get them back on now. There's no chance of getting the bushes through the chassis end at the minute. The axle needs twisting and pushing back so might be easier just to undo everything get...
So then, not updated this in a few weeks. Lets start off with the shiney bits. Ordered myself some 3 degree castor corrected radius arms and some double cranked trailing arms couple of week ago.:D
Then for some sudden reason the landy kept cutting out on me when ever i tried changing...
Hey all, just thought i'd post so i can keep tabs on this thread. Live 10mins away from Fox House, S18. A bit annoying as i work in Liverpool but hopefully i can show my face at some point, be great to meet some more LZers.
Soon as you're back on the road we'll have to arrange something mate. Taken in out for a little spin already but i want to get out and see what it can really do.
Just joined the panddlrc so i'll be taking myself along to some of there events as well.
Cheers mate. I did think to keep it as it was when i plated it up and just add some recovery points but you'll probably notice when you do your lift there's quite a gap between the boot floor level and the top of the chassis so i wanted something there to protect the fuel tank. Will just get a...
Good to know they fit where i wanted to put them. The whole truck has been a massive faf so i think a bit more wont do me any harm :o
I do enjoy the sound of the straight through exhaust, got a 2 1/2inch stainless one made up for mine. Lovely bit of 'whistle' you can hear :)
Thanks man. Its getting there slowly! Thought i may as well give there rear bumper a go and see how it turns out. Think it would have looked daft making the old bumper fit so thats what i made. I cant take credit for all of it however, i got the idea from wiltshire landymans thread...
Im in between Sheffield and Chestefield, takes me about 5 minutes to get into the Peaks. I only know of a few lanes and two of them are closed at the minute. Think it would be better to go with a group as i don't have much off road experience at the minute.
Exactly the same with mine mate, just got my MOT today but theres still loads of stuff i want to do. Was in Halfords today and a couple of 6x9s are only 50quid really tempted but i need to finish off a few things first. Thinking they would fit well where the original speakers are on the C...
We now have an MOT!!!
Also refitted the clear indicators (only just got round to buying some more orange bulbs) and retrofitted the number plate until i think of a more permanent solution.
Need to crack on with the rear bumper and get the light guards fitted then the exterior will...
Just a small update, booked in for its MOT at 10:00 tomorrow. Fingers crossed it passes. Itching to get out and have a little play.
Not welded the rear bumper on just yet as i think i'm going to make some hi-lift jack points for it. Still working out how i'll make them at the minute, plus i...
Really enjoyed reading the thread mate. Looking really good and a lot of hard work put in. Considering getting a couple of 6x9s for mine, think this might have just convinced me.
Another little update.
Recovery eyes turned up so they went on the front bumper.
Got my hands on some 54mm diameter 5mm thick tube and a couple of pieces of angle so spent most of the weekend playing with the grinder and welder to plate the chassis back up and make the rear bumper...
Does anyone know if the 200tdi light guards fit over / clear the 300tdi lights? Looking at getting these:
Genuine Land Rover Discovery 1 89-94 Complete Lamp Guard Set CHEAP!!! RTC9504 | eBay
If not has anyone made them fit and was it much hassle?
Cheers
