dislocation does it help !!!!!!

Started a new thread as we seam to be hijacking someone else’s
Right to stop all this assuming that cones will or will not help, I think me and Dave should have a little test on 15th at whaddon and see if it does or doesn’t settle the arguments once and for all.
We both have 90 less then a year apart, both have same wheels and tyres (both only a couple of weeks old) both have 2+ lift, only difference is shocks and Dave’s motor retaining them and me putting on D/cones. So none of this fancy comic book mag testing when one is just std and the other defender has had £10,000 spent on it just to push the items :x .
I hope we both have same line of thought that would prefer to take technical approach :wink: , i.e not third gear and floor it, as don’t want to damage the vehicles. As I assume it will only make a difference to this style of driving :twisted: .
If someone is gun-ho about it I wouldn’t have thought it would make any difference having cones, prob a disadvantage as only using forward momentum not grip. And securing your springs would save your shocks.
So if Dave’s up for it, we will take some pics, if we can find a few suitable obstacles. And let you know if spending less then £50 on cones will help or not. Ooooh sounds like a bit of real journalism :shock: :shock: :shock: .
Mace:
Will Dave take the door step challange ???
iianorthants:
Don’t think a doorstep will be big enough :? , unless you have a 3-4 foot one we can use :shock: . Did think about an artificial ramp, but that’s not fitting for a mud-club member :D
Disco Inferno:
i fitted them originally after fittiing the lift kit, primarily as a bit of security since i saw a spring pop out and get firly wedged in a bolkes sidewall. and to be honest they weren't really necessary till i fitted shock drops and crancked trailign arms
MuckingFuddy:
This could be interesting, look forward to seeing the pics :P
