    Bankzs 110 CSW XS Build

    Cheers!! It was not easy... Extremely tight fit to reinstall and had to use 40mm long trim clips opposed to the standard 28mm they just couldnt hold it properly. Overall am pleased though. Off to Wales on Weds for a few days laning!

    Yeah standard drive shaft, its just been zinc coated, as its out of the axle case. I know right!! Im already thinking, got a couple ideas but they arnt perfect but would work. Going to chat to my engineer friend to see what we come up with! The free wheeling hubs are from AVM, the auto locking...

    Something i have always wanted to try out. The X Eng lockable ARB. Fitting was pretty easy, only basic tools needed. Instructions are mediocre as youd expect. Very well thought out using mostly off the shelf LR parts - They also supply the p/n and no gate keeping which is lovely...

    Got my headliner back after being recovered with alcantara. Its so plushy and nice! ABSOLUTE BAST@RD to reinstall! Cage was easier Axle swap was easier Dare i say it swivel balls easier 🤪 Its still not in, because the fir tree clips are too short. In part because of my excessive...

    Cubby box in. Made some little quick detach brackets underneath, so can still fold flat with relative ease. Just needs a proper clean now! However recent passengers have already said how much better it is! So thats a win in my book. Plus a nice autumnal photo for you all My headliner is...

    Remote Locking Freewheeling Hubs?

    I obviously cant leave anything standard and can often see a way to improve it... So bought the XEng unlockable rear anti rollbar which uses an AVM Series locking hub. Lovely design and will suit my needs perfectly. Got me thinking if I can make it work off a switch on the dash either...

    Best day ever 🙄 Noticed the exhaust manifold gasket was blowing. On removal found it was split on cyl 1 blowing on 3, 4 & 😬 Changed the studs to longer ones from Gigglepin, well most... couldnt get 3 out and wasn't risking snapping them. So they stayed. Not tooo bad.... Also found then...

    Frames all painted, adjustments made. Beefed up two off the connections from M8 to M12 because it was easy to do. Just waiting for the clasp for the storage door. Ordered a MUD Stuff cubby box, slightly larger than the OEM one so should fit nicely in there. May get the lid trimmed to...

    Oh thats a good idea! Erm no one really more of an emergency short trip jump seat and always found it handy to have a flat space across the seats.

    Started on my rear seat conversion. Kept my original XS front seats for this very reason, just took a year to find a pair of runners for decent money - £30 for a pair 😅 Using the original seat mounting points. They fit. They are MUCH more comfortable and actually have some support...
