jimthelandyman:
Just put the landy in a big axle twister to find that the brake lines run to the diff on both axles and then a hose up from there are these the ones that need extending?

bullfrog:
do they run down the prop or radius arms ?
If they do then they should be ok.
I am running mine down the front radius arms(1.6 metres long) and +5" on the rear.
should be ok. 8)

--- Quote from: "drmike" --- I've always felt that the standard setup was really good.

I'd save your money for other bits and bobs myself.

Me too...........

bullfrog:
I agree in principle as LR spent time and money building a vehicle to have a balance of on and off road quility.
I am using mine mainly offroad so want to improve that side of things.
As i make a lot of my own parts I save anyway so can still get those extras I want.
If I see something I like I generally make it but obviously things like winches, springs and shocks I cant make so have to buy.
Its all down to choice and budget for the indevidual.
Yours seems to perform well though on a standard set up ! 8)

drmike:
I'm not sure what you guys with the extreme setups even do.

I know some of you do challenge events and they do work a machine hard, very few seem to do trails which can be in some ways as demanding as the route from A to B has been chosen for you. And I think many more go laning but I've never really felt the need of anything beyond stock setup. Then again maybe I lead a sheltered life!

There's play days I guess but my experience of these is that trials tend to take you on dafter routes than most people follow on play days.

Still each to his and her own - now while I think of it I'll just take that snorkel off! Why would I want a wet bum?

Mike
