Yeah might give the roller route a try see how it goes. if its too crap then spray. Id imagine the paint is gonna be wrecked after a couple of outings anyway so dont wanna spend too much time on it. Got any pics of your post roller paint job anyone?

Lol. fortunatly our cars looked like that going in so no visible further damage :) Yeah you come pretty damn close to going over for a long distance. That tree stump is pretty good to get over too. You go round the sharp u bent half way up too? I bet that lane is amazing when under 2 foot of...

lol sounds complicated. Maybe ill just use a brush like the previous bloke :)

both :) Went up it first then down it as we didnt record up. Will post a pic of the vid later on in the week.

Today: removed and painted passenger floor . Repaired hole in bat area and fixed bat clamp. Fitted fire extinguishers, painted ladder, cut and fitted underlay to the rear to cut sound, fixed washer bottle properly, fitted rock sliders , jet washed all round and under done :)

Yeah not far. Just did water lane near alton yesterday for the first time. What a greenlane that is! :)

vinyl wrap might be easier :)

Ok Cool. So sand back best i can till its clean, remove with some paint prep wipes. Apply 3 layers of etch primer. Anything special about this etch primer? Pour it into the hopper then on it goes? then wait. Do i need to fine sand the primer before applying the paint. If i go for cellulose...

Im gonna ask a really dumb question now. Im sure, its sand, prime, paint, clear coat. But what typres of paint do i need to be using? I assume primer is primer? Then do i want cellulose paint or what? Will see what google brings up, but if anyone can advise that would be good too.`

Evenin'. Can anyone advice the best route to do a DIY paintjob? I have a compressor and spray gun but never used it. Could i get away with using aerosols? The finish doesnt have to be perfect, car is a toy and i think was previously painted using a brush! So yeah any tips on doing a DIY...

Thanks for the advice Rusty. Def want any route we do to be quite hard. Whats the point if there is no challenge eh? Thanks for the advice chaps. Hope you dont mind if i bug you for more information later on in the year when i get the funds together to start organising a trip. Cheers Chris

Been wanting to do the mongol rally for a couple of years just never got round to it, Would happliy do the route in the 90 but not sure if it would be too easy. Also we are limited to about 2.5weeks max return. Clearly we wouldnt want to dump our landy in mongolia, and dont have the funds to...

Good thread. I too am looking into morroco for my first exped sometime end of this year/next and wanting to do something similar to what you have described rusty. infact your sahara rally website is what inspired us to go buy a defender 90. Couldnt wait till next year for the mongol rally...

yeah. Tons of tracks. Some really undulating and angled, some tight, some muddy pits and some deep water like that puddle.

The event was orgnised by thames valley 4x4 club, which we had to pay a joining fee for before playing. The cost of the day wasnt that much. iirc about a tenner to play, and possible 10/20 for membership. probably best to contact tv4x4 for definitive cost. It was a cheap day out, in a very...

ever heard of TDS? Cheap Electric Winch Dealers Series wound which is good, and free spooling also good.

Hi, Was wondering the same. Wanna spent about 300-400 ish, min 8000lb pull. What do you guys recommend? Tis to go on a disco 1 O and its gotta cope with getting wet.

Chaning the oil in my gearbox loosened a whole ton of crap which then blocked the filter stopping all gears. Just something to know about, if that happens just change it again, possibly giving a couple of weeks to sort its life out.
