off-roading
 

Does anyone do a bit of off roading?
Are there any decent forums?

Was thinking about getting another 4x4 for a bit of fun. SJ or something, but then i'd like something i could use on the road as well. any ideas

no one?:cry:

yep few forums i use are difflocker and devon4x4 kev sharp is from up scotland hes well into it

I would recomend an SJ i've had 2 and love em!

fuck getting an sj if you want to use it on road aswell mint offroad wank on road ive owned loads

Decent Landy's do crazy money

do they fuck as like i paid 600 quid for my 200tdi taxed and tested and never missed a beat went offroad in standard form and was mint in that snow we had!

I use a modified L200 Warrior (03 plate) and it is a right giggle :D

So far I've done the following:

1.5" body lift
2.5" suspension lift
33" mud tyres
front winch

I had at one point bobtailed the tub but needed a standard size one again so swapped it with someone who wanted a bob tub. I had also converted it to coil springs at the rear and this gave me an extra couple of inches lift aswell, but had nothing but bother with the springs so went back to leaf springs which i modified and took 2 leafs out of each spring - Much nicer ride and better articulation (full travel now only limit is the damper lengths) :D

I'm also an emergency responder with the National 4x4 response network (Yorks Lincs group) so have a few goodies in the truck to use for that too :)

A few snaps :D

Re Landy prices - 'Proper' ones - Expensive. Discovery's cheap as fook.

I had a disco with a few sensible mods - went most places and right good fun :)

Nice! I had a couple of those frontera sports, cheap as chips eh

i know that feeling :cry:

LOl @ Morrisons - I have been banned from the local Morrisons and Sainsburys car wash for taking the truck in looking like a mud bomb :cry:

Did you buy Ezz's tub off the L200 club?

I do it, love it, great technical driving, and if you can't work it out hit the loud pedal. My disco is spot on, on and off the road.

they are far from the best off roader to buy but when you can buy them for scrap money thrash them until they loose oil presure and break it / weigh it in for ya money back

you cant beat it not sure if i'm going to get another trip out of mine it's very close to scrap its only got rear wheel drive, oil light is on at idle and its missing on start up. :cry:

whats this like to drive on the road mate?

i'm tempted to get one and do very similar mods and use it as a daily, off roader and tow vehicle to tow a FORD for track 8)

buy a ford maverick 2.4 petrol 5 door they are the best been it one in the snow which was 4 foot deep no one chouldget thoughbut we did in it

Is the L200 horrid on the road with mud tyres?
Noisey on the motorway i presume?

Is it horrid on road with mudders? - Nah, it's not too bad, a bit of tyre roar and it breaks traction in the wet quite easy due to the nobbles but other than that not bad. Then on the motorway I don't go over 60 as it drinks like George Best and gazza at a brewery open day :cry:

its all down to the tyres mine was noisy as fuck on the road but i just turned the system up more

PMSL :cry:
Thats one way to put it.
Got a local L200 in mind. Has the big box on the rear, can these be easily changed to a pick up?
Cant be that bad on the fuel in standard form eh

mine was shit on fuel as for the box it just clips off to be fair did everything i threw at it only thing i faulted it on was the amount of times i had to rebuild the alternator as they dont like deep shitty water the brushes get stuck down

quick off roadin question.

Are these any good?

I have a v8 range rover, had 3 land rovers and 2 sj's

Sj's shocking on the road

Daryl - They are the same as the Mazda B2500 or whatever number it is - seen a few at P&P days but never seen them doing anything silly really :)
