Decisions, decisions
cotefarmboy:
Shiny 18's are nice for road cruisers but not great for off-road as they will get bashed, go for the snorkel and the sliders!!
bullfrog:
Just get some decent A/Ts and enjoy. You dont need all the "toys" unless you plan any serious offroading.
Snorkel ? Only if deep wading or dust driving
Rocksliders ? Only if serious playdays . if you need them for a byway then you should not drive it.
If you do change the tyresthink long and hard about what you plan to use the vehicle for. A/Ts will cop with most terrains.
M/Ts will cope offroad better but get a decent brand as they will behave better on road.

No its going to be my fishing mobile. Familys all grown up and driving their own motors these days. I love my old 200tdi, but needed a car for work and stuff as I do call out now and need to know it will def get me there (not that my old one wouldn't but at her age she might let me down). So i decided to invest in a newer model. I wanted a newer one than this one to be honest but when I saw the condition of this one with the new Landrover fitted engine, full history and all landrover reciepts for everything I decided it was to good to miss and saved myself some money. My plan is to get her totally rust proofed (well as much as you can) and try keep her that way. Might even manage to get her to see me through to retirement.
The reason I want the steps is because when my wife goes somewhere with me she has difficulty getting into them as she is vertically challenged. The snorkel because this winter I have had to drive along seriously flooded tracks down to the river and lakes to go fishing. Once or twice I have had to turn back for fear of sucking up water. 3ft of water for 100 yards + isn't going to do her any good without a snorkel I fear. Tinted windows to help keep prying eyes off my fishing gear.

Get the tree sliders then. They are just as good as girly side steps. Side steps bend with a rock within a 100mile radius. Look at my tree sliders. As for snorkel. You know who I'm going to highly recomend for expert snorkel fitting :wink: also if your going through that kind of water to go fishing I might start taking it up as a hobby!!! :lol:
and the look of tatty horrible girly side steps in a few years time
