Got myself a new toy for playing out in - its a bit of a giggle and I had so much fun yesterday Green-Laning










What a giggle - a nice set of KL71 mud tyres going on tomorrow. and then a lift kit coming soon aswell - should be enough to see me through some of the muddier green-lanes, although I managed to do well on road tyres yesterday and didn't get stuck once

 

love them. looks a nice one matey

 

Cool!

I love Off roading!

 

yesterday was a right riot on some local green-lanes - some very technical bits and some good old deep water bits too - had the water licking the bottom of the doors a few times and filled my front indicators up like fishtanks LOL

 

So do we....... we went out to play with Gracey too!

 

Nice to see them used as they should be.

 

yeah, used and abused.... and a broken power steering pump to boot....

 

Bought it with the intention of towing the track car around on a trailer, but that idea has gone to shit and now the off-roading bug has bitten me. KORC for 3 days at the end of the month should be a laugh, and kamp-for-fun in Germany next week at the 'Ring should be even better

 

Bloody hell you train drivers must be on mega money!

Looks a nice one mate

 

Nice 1 , off topic but is there any updates due for your track car thread? I was enjoying that till the updates slowed down

 

can you buy a snorkel it for it might be a good investment

 

A few more snaps from the days events too.......














What a great afternoon that was. i can't wait to goto KORC

 

Yeah, very much suspect he will be fitting one of those... however, it aint gonna stop them lights filling up....

 

Yeah, me snapping happy with me new toy.... mi D80, which amazingly still works after getting wet.... at times the poor thing didn't know whether to focus on the trucks or the rain spots on the lens

 

looks like really good fun, the l200 really that competent off road? who would have thought. Nice one.

 

Nice truck, always liked them.

You driving that to the Ring this weekend? Cool

Bet you don't drive it like the hire SJs though! Looks too nice for that kind of use!

Si

 

Looking good matey - I'll join you at some point in my Pajero !!

 

don't these roll over at all? abit new if they do!

 

Them hire SJ's will be taking some more abuse from me this weekend coming - I can't wait.

The L200 is going to the ring - looking forward to driving to view points instead of 4 hour hikes

Also the l200 is a VERY capable truck offroad - a couple of inches on the suspension lift will make it much better, and a set of 32" tyres and it will be spot on

 

I bet thats fun

 

LOL


Also I might need a snorkel if I want to go extreme wading......



All the same truck - Ezz off the L200 owners club forum, and after each one of those little accidents, he drove the truck home after

 

That last one is no fucking accident

 

You're right - the engine is still running under the water

 

Ah, good point about getting to the photo points - this was my Cossie at the Karousel - not a good plan taking a low car up there, the L200 will rock it!



Drove up from Edgars, saving an hours walk!

Also, remember this SJ? This was yours last time!

 

PMSL @ my SJ - I want the same one to demolish a bit more

 

Did you buy it off that nob in the village over the road from the old Albion Mills?

 

ooooooooooooooooooh i like it!

 

Not exactly "pwwweeeeety" though is it?

 

And Big Will to drive into again?

Good times

 

The lad in the Croft 4*4 wagon lives down the road from me? Small world! ha

 

Where and what is this KORC thing Paul?

 

Graham - no, got it from Newcastle.

Alex - KORC = Kirton Offroad Center - google it - you will love it

 

love it!

 

Ahhhh, you're closer than I thought then son

 

Wicked!
GizagooooO!!!!!

 

Too push and nice looking for off roading, id be scared of damaging it, you must have far too much money mate

 

Chip - its had a relatively easy life by the previous owner, apart from the paint on the car being too soft and scratches far too easily, loads of small marks here and there that you can only see from about 10" away. Anyway, its fun for offroading and does the job well, not too posh neither - its a commercial truck at the end of the day

 

Are they as greedy on diesel as some folk say ??

Lovely motors tho and still on my to own list

 

do you use sump/tank guards at all?? there are a few i have seen around some quarry's near me and the have little bump guards on the front, but you can see the sump and diff just behind it and they look unprotected... doing road rallies, i know that some of the roads they go down, i have been down and you will need a guard, or is it all just the height that helps??

 

very nice Paul.
