Glad to hear your OK matey. I reckon you have my old rangie too The black one with silver strip. Is it on LPG ! I see you have done a few more bits to the old beast.
The front bumper is a prototype southdown's one for range rovers. Hard to make so I think you may have the only one
I sold it to a chap from southampton who comuted to wales !

bobtail4x4:
At least you are ok.

cars can be replaced.

looks like one way to get at the prop UJs :lol:

Grunter:
Well, I have been absent from the club for quite some time, just having a look through some of my old posts and came across this thread.

this was finally settled out of court and I got paid out 3 months ago.. So it was just a little bit of a wait..!!

I had stopped doing much by way of off road playtime as the back is not what it was pre smash, and self recovery was getting a bit much. But I have recently discovered a local club with a good few members so I am looking to get back into the swing of things.

Yes!! that was me and that was your old rangie. Must say its the best one I have ever had. It had many gremlins but it always got us where we needed to go.
I swapped out the spring spacers as I had a problem on the motorway. a rear tyre blew out and I didnt even notice!! the shock was not long enough to let the rim touch the ground so I carried on my merry way at 60mph on three wheels.. untill I came to a bend in the road...then things got interesting.. [-o<

Another fond memory is of taking a long steep climb too fast and launching at the top, front about 8ft and rear about 3 ft in the air, the landing saw the drivers front shock punch up and take out the brake pipes from the master cylinder. this was the first obstacle on a play day, I cut the shock off and carried on without one, much to the annoyance of some other 4x4 drivers.. :lol:

Well, looks like I got a fair bit of reading to catch up on..  Something I will get to tomorrow..
