parkwood 4x4 centre 12th dec

hmmmm... tempting....
but need some new tyres... fronts are a bit lacking in tread...
time to write my letter to santa... lol

glad you enjoyed yourself nick. was back on the road at 4.30. had thrown a pad out of the back and pushed the piston out,fluid ****ing out. new pads and a quick clean up on the pistons and all's good. get yourself some side bars and we'll get them fitted for you one weekend before January. ugly duck,you'd be more than welcome to tag along,the more the merrier.

think i was still washin mine at 4.30.. r lass had me washin her motor too seein as i had the hosepipe out.. glad it was nothin too serious..
yeah ugly duck.. come on down.. just dont get too attached to yr side steps if ya got em.. my own fault.. did a black route i didnt think looked to bad.. guess thats why it was a black route.. did it wiv my standard disco with a/t's on..

washed mine before we did brakes. worked quite well towing my mate home and using his brakes. if you get stuck with anything on yours just give us a shout. did you get any good pictures?

never thought to use my phone til yrs was out..
pullin the red one off the mound was a little undramatic.. two landrover v one slitty stuck on a mound? no competition really..
was too busy hangin on to the wheel the rest of the time.. lol...

cheers would you let me know when in january ? also while we're on this subject can anyone give me some pointers on fitting a lift kit... do i need any special tools or anything ?
(i know wrong place to post this)
sounds like you had fun... im looking forward to january....
(still fancy kirton at some point)
cheers guys

no special tools, just big jack and axl stands - a big socket set is handy (up to 32mm iirc) but otherwise its just nuts and bolts mate.

i dont know what youre thinking of, but 265/75/16 insa turbo is by far and away the best value for money

if you do plenty of road mileage its worth keeping them for pay and play only and use your road tyres where they belong

otherwise i think 31x10.5x15 ATs are a great option, theyre good enough for pay and play but still drive like stock on road.

cheers
