--- Quote from: "Henry Webster" ---With a bit of bad luck, or ill-considered driving, anyone can get stuck in flat grassy field.

Bear in mind that you had effectively eight wheel drive when you towed him out! :lol:

I agree, anyone can get stuck, I think his problem was a lack of experiance, if your stuck you just put your foot down more, pulling him out I only had 4WD as he left me too it.

I think I got out through experiance, attitute, and (though on road tyres) better grip.

My Buddie  DAT 1 , was out at the weekend with his Hatsu  swb 2.8td  he was the oddman out  the rest of us were all Landy mounted 4Disco s  and 5 defenders  ,  his only mods- hd springs  BFG at s   his hatsu went everywhere  we went  with no probs  , MPG 30-35 insurance 200fcomp 60 ncb ,  i would say if it was lifted by 2inches  remove those huge bumpers replace with tubes  it would be very capable - its also mega reliable  he s owned it 3yrs not spent a penny except normal  regular serviceing.  spares can be got from Milners  they have most things . including panels.

Miniman:
We got a daihatsu fortrak its a 2.2 petrol its fast but around town its very thirsty. Great on motorways. Good off road if its got proper tyres on. Crap with road tyres. Ours is a K reg so it has electronic dampers which is super duper. HARD MEDIUM AND SOFT. A button for 4x4. Cumfy just expensive on parts. It don't go off road much but got great suspension.

The Fat Controller:
front axles are no harder to rebuild than on the disco 1's or rrc's.i did one the other evening for a mate (civvy2000) who bought one a few weeks ago and wandered were all the play was in the front end.both swivels were full of mud,the bearings top and bottom contained only mud(no grease).new bearings,removal of mud,major cleanout,injection of a tin of grease,rebuild and haypresto no play where there shouldn't be.
THE RESULT,one happy civvy2000
