I fitted a GKN Overdrive, and was impressed at the reduction in cabin noise, swift operation, and novelty of having a button on the gearknob. I felt like Mad Max

Today I Fitted a 40" LED Light bar to my 110, only took a hour in total, most of which was spent getting the rusted old spotlights off!

Yes 
One track was full of them but if you don't want scratches then not for you. The 110 would never have made it through, the turns in the track and the trees made it almost impossible in anything but a 90 - also the surface was like driving on glass. Hopefully someone will post a picture of us coming down the steps

Picked ours up this morning. Bog standard 2010 90XS SW in Stornoway. Sadly it has the standard failings.... rear mudflap brackets are completely rotten an it's on Grabber TRs
.
Other than that, very nice

You won't regret getting rid of the TR's if and when you do. I had many punctures in mine and 0 with the KM2's (Or other brands if you so wished)

Had 265 BFG MTs (pre KM2) on our 07 and they transformed the ride and handling for the better, plus unstoppable offroad. Some MTs of some kind are top of the list

Sure was
Super sticky as well, it was stuck like the proverbial to a blanket under the 90, even the pressure washer could not budge it. On that descent there are actually a series of sheer steps, hence the name. The 110 would never have done it, it would have beached about half way down. In fact Mark grounded one of his rock sliders on the way down and he has a lift on his 90
Great day and great pictures Mark, just don't mention the whiff of cow when Alex is around

Did a great 'road trip' today, along with a friend who has an old school bug cabrio. The 'hot' td5 never fails to impress as a cross country hack
