Range Rover Blues:
If that's the same one I've seen then I'm not impressed with it (do you have a weblink?)
The bolt endures a lot of twisting force that an 'R' clip will not be suitable for in the long run.

I was thinking of doing somethins similiar.
But I was just thinking of grinding a flat edge down the thread of the bolt and drill a hole through the bolt to enable an R pin to go through. Obviously would use a washer but I'm not convinced it would be strong enough on it's own. Although my Disco does seam pretty capable off road with them still attached.
I'm running +2 springs and shocks and general grabber mt's and we rarely get stuck.

Looks like he's nailed it on the head.
However being a tight fisted squeaky walker I'm still going to try to modify my existing bolt to acheive the same thing, plus I already have a box full of R pins on the shelf.
Thanks Modi
Disco Matt:
This wouldn't work on a Disco, but for a hypothetical 4x4:
What if you had hydro-pneumatic plungers that acted on the radius arms near where they fix to the chassis? That would probably do the trick and they could be arranged to retract out of the way for off road use.
