Just sold my L200 (well, taken a deposit on it) for the asking price I wanted which wasn't bad considering

Was a good laugh though, went everywhere and kept up with the likes of Disco's and Defenders when the going got a bit interesting

Few choice mods included:

2" suspension lift
1.5" body lift
Wellar 15" steel wheels with Maxxis Bighorn 33x12.5x15" mud tyres
Autowinch 12,000lb (5.4 ton) front winch
Safari Snorkel

Plus a few other bits including heavy duty rear drag hooks and tie down lashings etc etc

So there's a few here!!!! Mines kitted out with a Warn 8274 front, Goodwinch TDS on the rear, Adrenaline Tubular rear X member, +2 lift, extended shocks, dislocation cones, Adrenaline adjustable panhard rod. I used it for doing friendly Punch challenges with local groups and the odd play days.

Not sure the trike would get up some on the inclines I've winched up to get a punch

I also have an fzr400 powered quad

Proves they can drive on a flat piece of land. Yea, sure they can go further than a landy.

I used to have a 3.9 discovery. I had a Goodwinch tds winch, lots of 10mm ali under protection, h/d rear bumper and 265/75/16 insa turbo special tracks with some flexi arches.
My mate had a 200tdi converted 90 with the full gwen lewis long travel setup, +2" lift springs with x springs in the rear. His was protected and winched up too.

Both were well abused but his only ever broke down!

Best memory is using my disco to anchor a 90 that was winching another 90 to recover it, I ended up dragging both up the hill! V8 power and 12psi in the tyres helped loads I think!!
