Some nice looking vehicles and kit there Willy Thumbs Up

Must admit if I was in nit picking mode I would not have recovery rope hanging off back of vehicle.

Apart from that some very nice vehicles I like the series! Thumbs Up

True about the rope, just needs fastening of properly I suppose, the series is astonishing, would be agreat thing to own. Your tree sliders went on no bother and look good Thumbs Up

The new 2.2 engine seems to take up more room than the 2.4, also the box under the drivers seat is now stuffed with electronics, fuses etc and had a bloody hole in the bottom Neutral Rolling Eyes Original Member Pie n Pea Club.

Pete did you put new shocks on as well, Devon advised me to something to do with the length of them. Not got round to fitting mine yet.

Wow! Thanks for sharing the pics. I love the principle regarding the remblin rat. All the signatures and the mileage, I bet it's seen a few pot holes Rolling with laughter

What are the rating of those front springs - 220/225 ??

Do they make the ride on the double cab 'bouncy' ? Shocked
