The rebirth of my off road Discovery
ChrisW70:
Have you had any thoughts on the suspension Jake? With the arch kit fitted same as yours I'm thinking maybe of sticking with 235/85 or poss 265/75 and swapping the +2" to a heavy duty spring with a 1" lift to take some of the stress off the props and castor.
What width modulars have you got - they look like they fill the arches a bit better than the standard alloys I'm running or have you got spacers under there as well?
Gonna be a bright bonnet with those lights up there! :cool: Is there any mounting point for a CB aerial up there anywhere?
I think you're like me - takes a few different set-ups to get it to the point you're happy with it :grin:

Definetly Chris, I'm never happy with the car :lol:
The light bar has a cb mount in the middle rear or i can use the roof rack for that.
The wheels are 8x16 tuf tourqe modulars with a +8 off set. Running with the 2" lift i have 265/75/16's fitted and there's loads of room in the arches. I'd say you'd be fine on a 1" lift and running the same (235/85/16 are the same height but 30mm narrower)
:D

It's a never ending process of evolution innit! :roll: :lol: :lol:

This week i fitted some smaller rectangular spots and my new side facing camping/night laning flood lights
The finished ladder
Tonights job was to fit the new Mudpod and the Carling switches
I've used a 6 gang mount and have (right to left) a winch in/out switch, blank, on/off/on switch to control the top 4 spots and 3 on/off switches which will control the left/right/rear work lights
After cutting the hole in the pod i set about fitting it to the dash
Cut a hole for the wires
Then i attached the mounting plate (I had to drill 4 new holes in the corners to get a decent puchase on the dash)
Then on with the pod
I will do all the wiring over the bank holiday
And, just for fun my new screen shot
:D
