Jumps in a Range Rover!
Grunter:
last time i got air under all 4 wheels of my rangie, the landing saw the turret parting company with the chassis. Also left me with no brakes as the ball and spring in the old type non return valve fited in the manifold spun round!!!! Of course didnt want to miss a days playing so armed with a hacksaw cut the bent shocker off and continued to play with engine braking only!!
Jonny Boaterboy:
Ummm maybe Ill keep all 4 on the floor! Does anyone use the air springs!! Seems like anyone who does off roading always has coils, Air seems great to me as you can have a 3.5 inch lift at the push of a button! I know it may be unreliable but as yet mine has been great. You can allso load it up with all sort of gear and never have a saggy arse!
anyway thanks all, Ill let you know if the air bags go bang when I do my first jump!
blackbob:

Bottom line Jonny, is that you have to decide what you car is for.
If it's an off road only toy, that can sit unused while to wait for time/parts/money to repair it, then have as much fun as you can, go as hard and fast as conditions allow, and see what happens.
If, on the other hand, youdon't want to spend excessive time and money repairing your car, or know you'll need it tomorrow, then you'll find that no matter what you do off road, the greatest satisfaction will come from saying "I did all that, AND drive home afterwards".
As slow as possible, as fast as necessary is the best philosophy if you are of the second school of thought!
Alaric.
Jonny Boaterboy:

thanks
