My new toy :D
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

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

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

, off topic but is there any updates due for your track car thread? I was enjoying that till the updates slowed down
might be a good investment

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

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

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??
