What is it 😂

Off work today so spent the day making my rock sliders. Went extremely well, design was pretty much spot on. Just had to rework the bulkhead bolt bracket but that was easy. 4mm mild folded where possible. 4mm gussets throughout for extreme strength. Mounts to the bulkhead bolt & rear...

Nearrrrlly there! Everything fits, everything works well, super smooth action. Just waiting for the latch to arrive so I can cut the front plate and the lower locking plate. Main frames 90% done just need to fit the upper bearings. Drawers very close well hence the half paint 😅

Got carried away and made the frame for the drawer system as well 😄 Pretty heavy duty, all 3mm mild as thats what I had. All within about 2mm, not perfect but it will do. Now the frames together I can design the actual drawer! Luckily got an old sheet on 1.6mm which is never going to be...

Designed, cut and bent! All tacked up ready for a test fit. Annoyingly will have to remove my sills and current steps to check fitment, alignment and brackets. Will have 4mm gussets throughout to add strength.

Oooo thats an idea! Ill have a think tomorrow. No compressor but easy to add, air rams would be rapid deployment 😂

I have already. They all state "not to be used off road" "not to be used a bash bars" etc.... Already looking into jeep/G Wagon styl that retract underneath out of harms way. Shockingly not much from ole AliEX will just need proper mounts fabricating and waterproofing the electrics. Plus...

🤣🤣 Honestly not sure I can do a set for a 90 as I havnt got one to measure and check against! Though im sure I can in the future.... Wannna get these done first, thinking about incorporating a lower detachable maybe foldable step to help the mrs...

Been looking around for some rocksliders as the current side steps where always going to be temporary. Decided to move away from the usual tubular design and go for a more boxy look, however they tend to be rather expensive! Then I remember I have a steel fab workshop 😅 Only a 2D flat...

Had a few spare moments today, quick wash and polish. It cleans up very well for 21 years old, definitely not perfect and in desperate need of a proper cut and machine polish but it will do! Especially as im going to Salisbury next weekend 😂

Appreciate the links but I know what ratios I want. 33" tyres + higher 5th and a 1.3 make for an exceptional drive in a tuned TD5. And very good mpg

1.3 was never standard i know thats a longshot! Its not for me, for a mate who has a 1.6 but its a little noisy wants a 1.2 or 1.4!

1.2/1.4 ideally 1.3

After a a transferbox box with difflock Close to sittingbourne if possible

Finally managed to get another set of seat runners for dirt cheap for my rear seat project. Materials wont be alot sub £100 Just got to strip the runners off the old seats and fit them to my old front seats. Fix the heated seat connectors back on, because i stole them for my bucket seats...

Got a few nice photos from Billing 😁

Not many updates on the car front. Been very busy with well life 😅 Sadly wont be going to Marquenterre this year - Its almost as if I can never go with a kitted car with a VNT its been 5, maybe 6 years everytime somethings gone wrong! However as we where all booked off anyway decided to go to...

VNTs are great. Mines at full boost (2.5bar) around 1700rpm So plenty of power on the lower end as well however mines all done by Empire Tuning. I wouldnt recommend anyone else.

Dynamic load driving is 150kg. Static load is high based off the rateing of the roof bars

Press the left button on the fob that turns the immo off, before you try and start it it If the steering wheel is locked in position you have to wiggle the key while turning the wheel to disengage
