daisy 2.0 build

dan3411:
Dude i have been following your builds and am some what in awe of them.
but one thing puzzles me.. how you can afford to do all this.. i'm 18 and i am
struggling just to keep mine on the road! let alone thinking about buying swamp boggers
and winches ect..

so yea tell me your secret!  :dance:

boss:
dan,i work my arse off! i dont drink/smoke/drugs/pay rent(in money)/have kids and i have built up the other things i do prior to this
i actually started to build this before i had a valid uk licance so a car wasnt sucking funds away...
they dont actually work out to be that much aslong as you do research and plan exactley what your going to do and shop around a little. the hardest thing to do is find a location to build one if you dont already have one :lol:

boss:
went over to overland today and pulled a favor, came back as the propriotor of a RRC bonnet with the pannel behind it. but before i started to mess about with that i wanted to see what the disco looked like with the standard bonnet and wing on. not bad as it turned out! diddnt really want to got for the RRC bonnet becasue ut would then look like a RR and i would have to explane that to evereyone who diddnt know. not sure weather ill bother with the RR bonnet :lol:.
sorry there isnt too much building going on. im doing alot of measuring and there are no parts coming in at the moment :undecided: fingers crossed there will be soon.

im sorry, but why would you want a stud ?
i bitched for glynn yates the other week ( well...briefly until it broke as usual  :roll: and ended up using my truck  :roll:)
and in all honestly, i was expecting big things from the winch, but in realitly, it was crap, ok they will pull all day, but 8274's are quicker
i reached the summit of a hill that salesy was doing at the side of me quicker than he got there, and im running a 8274 with single motor ( ok on 24v through 12v )
and, they dont work when your on your side  :roll:
a rescent test also showed that the twinmotor 8274 was twice as fast as the stud, pulling a car up a hill in 16s vs the studs 32s
my penny worth
btw...that disco looks the danglies now, so get it finished

boss:
dan, john could not provide me with a vid of the stud150 in action...like i say i want to go to russia and i hear that lecci winches dont last too long. when i was talking to john he said that they were geared the same as a mile marker type-r and used the same motor to which i thought"hey a meatey type-r for not as much money!" however when stefan came over to pick up my wheels he was saying that a twinmotor 8274 would work fine. like you say the hydro winches do not work when your on your side which was always a concern. i am swaying towards the 8274 now...i think they will be easeyer to set up if nothing else. maby put a D&G PTO on the front too for the heavy long pulls.

winches are a long way down the line at the moment i still got to sort other bits a bobs out first( :roll:) not really worth investing in a winch and not have any wheels :lol:

there are new photos

however i cannot load them up becasue my dad has taken it apon himself to conduct a scan on the pooter.......not when im out violating the discovery, he waits untill i get home! NICE! but baisically the cage is off, the tank is off and MORE measuring has been done.

maby pics later, if not then tomorow morning.....thats if anyone is still interested :lol:
