Haha... These my parents fitted have literally lasted about 4 years but then again the most terrain it saw was Meadowhall Car Park upper level so long as the weather was decent. Hint of rain and it went under cover doing laps until a space became available... Then I got it and the first thing I...

I've got to be honest... Pure looks I'm afraid. I use my Freelander for going shooting as was a freebie when my parents got rid of it and I just liked the idea of making it bigger. I've looked into going offroad with it and I'd really like to give it a try I just don't really know how to get...

Swap the steering arms? Trying not to sound like a fool but what does that achieve? Im guessing maybe some kind or orientation? As can see in my other thread I'm having more trouble with tyre size im thinking 235/70/16 or the 205/80/16. Any ideas which would be a preferred method purely for...

Thanks for your reply... The tyres I have seen haven't a massive tread either which I'm hoping will help... Ill be honest when they arrive I will take a hammer to things to make them fit if necessary

I know this has been done to death but I've been trawling through here for the last 2 hours as I want to put larger tyres on my FL1... People say 235/70/16 will fit and some say otherwise. I dont have wheels spacers and my choice of tyres are 205/80/16, 235/70/16 or 215/70/16. As id like my...

I had a feeling of that haha... Ive sourced a second hand kit off a fella on here then in going to get some new tyres and see what she can do haha. Currently trying to work out how much higher she will be

Yeah mate that would be brilliant... Would bank transfer be good? Not sure how long the postage would take due to current climate... Could you drop me a message as I'm not sure how I'm using this site very well still haha

Yeah its the lift kit I'm after mate... What would you take for it posted to Lincolnshire, England?

Afternoon... Is the lift kit still available? Cheers

Update... I found the post I was after which turned out to be for a Freelander 2 (bugger!!!) Now without like too much of a f***tard... Are the top of the shocks different for the FL1 and FL2?

Morning all... Hope everyone is keeping safe and well. A while ago while looking into the much talked about (and tormented) freelander lift kits I came across a post that had the measurements to make said lift kit. Now I've a lot of time on my hands at the min and fancied giving fabricating...

Looks good that mate did you have it lifted aswell?

Good point... That never even occurred to me haha. I was looking at spacers strangely enough last night and deciding on what width to get. Not sure I want to go 30mm so was thinking maybe 15-20mm

Brilliant... Thanks for both your replies. Atleast I have a definitive answer now as to what I can and can’t fit. I’m assuming could go bigger with a lift and spacers but not sure I’ll go down that route. Been told fitting a lift kit can be a nightmare but spacers could be an option

Morning folks, Hope everyone is staying safe in the current situation we are facing. Ive been reading a few posts but can’t decide on a definite answer. I’ve a standard FL1 and got the option of some 205/80/16 tyres as mine are about ready for replacing 215/65/16. Will the larger tyres fit or...

Thanks for the reply and the info mate... Appreciate it. Your Freelander is looking nice... I think after that I think it will all come down to price and availability. I always looked at the lift kits but how much work other than installing the blocks on the suspension is it?

Good Afternoon Hippo gurus, I’m sure like everything else I ask it’s been ‘done to death’ but half the time I don’t have the time to find the exact answer I need unfortunately I’ve been looking to change for larger tyres for general off roading in my standard Freelander 1 (pre-facelift) with...

No problem... Thanks for the reply

Hi mate... Are the roof bars the ones that run down the vehicle or across? Also any idea if the sun roof mechanism is the same as on the 5door? Mine needs changing as is 95% rust now Cheers

@Bounty Beautiful... Thanks for your help mate. I'll look into it his weekend
