yeah i would say longer spring hangers. love to know what that extra box is on the top radiator hose?? how do you find your tires?? they look like Simex or Silverstone's?? very good looking truck and your lucky to find one with such low km's.

it wouldnt be a real trip in a land rover if it didnt break down at some stage, would it??

i removed the first silencer and put a straight pipe in its place. its very (very, very) loud but sounds awesome!!! does give it a little bit more but so much power is lost in the drive train that you would end up spending quite a lot for mediocre gains. just an example of what i noticed when i dest...

ok, well try give as much notice as possible, and maybe put it to the NZLROC see if any stage 1 guys are keen.

a trip for stage ones would be cool, i think i would have to make the trip down for that, i am owed tons of leave, let me know if any thing goes ahead.

very cool, do you run any diff lockers, also what brand tires and what size are they??

how much water went inside, looks like good fun. thats what my old man said to me yesterday, i let him take my nissan patrol on a run and i get it back last night and the carpet in the back of it is soaked, turns out he was stuck in a pond and the water poured in. but hey, on the bright side, the cn...

yeah i know what you mean about cheap discos. i have been toying with the idea for a while now do pickup a cheap one and start ripping things off and doing a bit of a hybrid between a disco and my stage 1. would have to keep the stage one body and chassis, then take all the running gear and axles an...

hehehe yeah good times ahead!! i remember when i first got my license to drive alone. i did a celebratory burnout on the L plates with my Mini 1000 hahahaha.
Just remember you look after the Landys, they will look after you!!

i reckon go similar to the kiwi army setup but mount it to the chassis by carrying on the front mounts and having an extra set halfway along to help take weight, have it come in to mount just in front of the rear wheel. like disco2hse said they do tend to wobble slightly. on the sid of my one it say...

yeah i'm with disco2hse on this. and chances are if your that deep in water that you need a snorkel the electrics will cut out and the spark plugs will be all wet. although in saying that i have had my one up to the head lights wadding a river at home lots of crc on the plugs and coil before going i...

My NZ ex-army landy is running a 12V ignition system with all other aspects still 24V. It uses one of the Lucas 35D distributers mentioned above along with a 7V coil and has been all good - until recently that is. One of the batteries has just died (dropped a cell or two) and it just so happens to ...

im not sure about the whole rocker assembly but i know some people run the 3.9 cams in the 3.5 to get a bit more hp.

i put 35 psi in my road tires. remember the harder it is the less tire that is in contact with the road.

haha i see your from Kent. My old man is from there and grew up in Margate.
