Also don't lift it too much as it puts a hell of a lot of pressure on the front CV joints and they dissintegrate off road, I had 5 go on mine in 18 months !!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

looks a decent base for a good toy
before you do venture off road get hold of some manual free wheeling hubs
less strain on front drivetrain while on tarmac and if you do blow anything on the fornt axle you can get home with no issues
