It's also got some very shiny Sawtooth alloys but I don't know when it acquired them as they look like new. The one thing that's definitely new is the tyres, Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's, although the spare doesn't match which I'll sort out in due course. Inside, it has a full height dog guard, a Mantec guard to the rear door glass and the upgraded stereo with the amp on the back of the cubby box. Oh, and a full set of rubber mats. There are a couple of negatives that I need to address: it's fitted with a smaller steering wheel - a leather clad Moto Lita - and seat risers, neither of which I'm keen on. Beyond all of that, there's still plenty of scope for a few additions to make it my own. There's an amber warning for snow in my area for tomorrow so it seems appropriate that the first is a snow cowl: Click image to enlarge There's more to do but they'll have to wait until after the snow  Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing?

Rashers Member Since: 21 Jun 2015 Location: Norfolk Posts: 3497	Looks great You can log on to Land Rover Topix (if you use the vehicle Vin Number) and see if it had Sawtooths as factory fit. Mine did, but they got swapped for Boost Alloys by the last owner I like the Sawtooths a lot.

Thanks for the kind words, folks. Rashers wrote: You can log on to Land Rover Topix (if you use the vehicle Vin Number) and see if it had Sawtooths as factory fit. Thanks for that; just had a look. Unfortunately, whilst it says fitted with EH2 alloys, I can't find what that actually means  Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing?

LandRoverAnorak Member Since: 17 Jul 2011 Location: Surrey Posts: 11324	Well, it's got a radio, which is nice The back end, essentially being a van, is quite noisy and a prime candidate for some sound proofing, which is great as I've already practiced that on the 90. Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing?
