very nice. :clap:what do people put the nets on their bonnets for?

as far as i know the nets on the bonnet is for challenges, with a synthetic winch rope they unroll the rope off the winch and put it under the net. then when they need to use it makes it alot quicker.

Post by: wrecker on January 14, 2009, 17:51:56: thanks for the comments all :D

as above the net is real handy for when i got to p&p sites,put a strop under there and attched to the front, it saves mucking around in waist deep water :lol: :lol:

Its a good all round compromise. It has 285 Bfg's and 11" of travel in the suspension. So is good on the rock and ok in deep ruts.

Title: Re: finally finished building my disco
Post by: clover on January 14, 2009, 22:16:16: Too right! Its got a set of rally bonnets catches that have waited for months to get around to doing. When the rear cross member is done i want to take the spare wheel off the roof and put it back on the door because she sways a lot with it up there. I might put the spare wheel cover up there and stow some recovery gear in it instead. Of course i need to extend all the breather pipes. I need to wire up the electric heater seats. Also got a problem with a dodgy connection to the heater switch. Then there is anything that goes wrong... and theres the front light guards... and the... No she will always be a work in progress!
