You could BUT long term it probably wont do the O/D a lot of good .... IMHO IF you need that sort of permanent lift in the gearing you would be better going the disco diffs route

From memory Fairey recommended that the overdrive should only be used on 3rd/4th ....However I have always used it where needed as a "Splitter" gear especially when towing . Doesn't ever seem to have had any adverse effects on any of the ones I have had AND I know several other folks that have...

Got 900x16 bar grips on my FFR ...nowt wrong with them ...

Derbyshire, not far from Buxton

Ping me your email and I'll see what I can do mate

Few more .....

So do I .... owning two 109 FFR's one of Ex NI/VPK tends to leave you with an appreciation for Nato green stuff

Then you SHOULD know that a "1 Tonne" has nothing to do with Landrovers a A "1 Ton" is closest to a military H/D chassis without the low geared helical box A 101" or Forward control has even less to do with a "1 Tonne" than a "Wonton" or a "Wanton" And yes I'm well aware of the sizing of the...

Indeed they are heavier when "Fully dressed" ... as above only when they are stripped for lifting (Doors/roof/screen/top half of rear tub and tailgate etc )do they get close to being a "lightweight"

No 1 TON's to be seen here ...It's just got silly tyres on ....frankly my FFR has more 1 TON in it than that lol .... No BB camo was never used on Air portables BUT the owner just fancied something different (It's actually Ex RAF and was the base commanders personal transport ) The owner was...

Headed off into the Peak district for a much needed trundle around in the mildly moist conditions yesterday .... Stuck to hard surfaced (IF VERY wet lanes) But was nice to get out and blow the cobwebs away ...

Dan ...worth having a word with Tony (Aimbones) on seriouslyseries.com as he runs a auto box in both his 109 AND his Mrs' 88 ...helpful chap AND what he doesnt know probas aint worth bothering with .

There are a few more than a dozen made.... Though they're not common... We have a good few at "Leafers at T'pit" each year even a ex military commander carawagon URL=http://s93.photobucket.com/user/spellcaster69/media/LATP%202012/CRW_5163.jpg.html][/URL]

Yep..... Have deep pockets ;-) Six pots are loverly BUT won't like the abuse that a 2 1/44 will thrive on... 2 1/4 was an engine for farmers AND the lack of maintenance that they dole out.... Six pot came from rather more gentlemanly p4 Rovers beloved by doctors and bank managers etc and...

All back home now sadly ....had to take it easy on the way back as one of the pulley idlers on the FFR's generator shat it's bearings out ....mind the thing had been parked up for 8 years before we woke it up a few weeks back lol . Cracking fortnight at a fantastic location ....back...

After the disappointment of not making the Orkney trip Tracey and myself decided to debunk to Shell Island for a couple of weeks RnR.... Loaded the Skankey and hounds and off we went. Weather is fab and we've probably another week to go yet, all being well.

Seeing as work killed off my hopes of heading up to Scotland with the rest of the gang.... Myself and Tracey headed up to a, nice little campsite close to the "Dogs home" secret base of leafer Ness and site of many "holey relics" After a swift phone call from mate a cunning plan was hatched...

They "Usually" fail due to folks treating them like a 2 1/4 that will take all manners of abuse in their stride .....Ticking time bomb springs to mind, before you spend a heap of money on one . By all means try to keep ALL the temperatures down AND change the oil at least once a week ;-)

Finally got around to uploading some of the pictures I (For a change) actually got around to taking this year ..... Now first and foremost WHAT an fantastic attendance this year with lots of NEW faces and Landrovers,It's always nice to meet new folks and have a looksy around their series...
