I do tow it with my 110 Puma! Plus i thought some of you may be interested to see this build. Its got a few trail bits of kit on it and i dare say will take some bedding in.
Anyway just finished building this 90 which came already caged and trayed with a man 200tdi and std axles (fitted with Ashcroft internals). Got it in March and have done Front wings Winches front and rear (had some help with the front tray) Under body skid plates Auto 2.8TGV Force9s Rad to rear Fuel tank to rear Hydro pump stops New suspension New dash rewire std vehicle 24V switchable winches Delta Tech Freespools on winches New dash Some teasers for you: Its a 2.8 TGV with Ashcroft Auto Monster box with North Wings and QT cage//Tray 
Allisport Rad in rear
Ashcroft Force 9 axles
D44 Suspension and bumpstops
Frogs Dash
Puma does about 19mpg towing it which is alot more than the TGV does when competing!
Also a small clip of its first competitive time out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxnK2X1ijgE Cheers James 110 2012 XS Utility 130 2011 M57 bespoke Camper 90 2010 Hardtop 90 M57 1988 Hardtop Last edited by jst on 13th Sep 2011 8:09am. Edited 1 time in total |

I was the marshal on that stage and the truck performed well. Went on to compete in the De-Cider Trophy as well. Not sure of the results though.
After giving up co-driving at the end of last season I now do a bit of marshalling for JST. As and when I'll get back into it. Might do the driving now as I'm past 40 and can't be arsed to run around all day. Here's the same stage but this time a V8 on 100" chassis. Running the same Ashcroft axles. Very tasty bit of kit. Steve didn't need to get the winch out at all. I think the extra ponies helped a bit there. Co-driver as usual was just out for a walk. This vehicle competed in Croatia this year. Very fast winning the Race Day stage. &NR=1 110 D250 SE HT 110 USW SOLD RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD |

Andy,
i wouldn't use anything other than an auto on a 2.8tgv, they will chew through man very Gboxs quickly. i picked up the 2.8 2nd hand, there was another on D44 site not long ago for sale. back plate for it is very £££. i run a an HP24 hybrid box which is made up from a HP22 and HP24 with a 4.6TC - Ashcroft do them, its worth a call to them to get an idea on price.
