    Thoughts on these wheels, please?

    They are classed as 80% off road bias but can be driven on the road with care. Don't grip like more road bias tyres, very noisy and increase fuel use.

    Metal shards in transmission

    Steering Leak?

    The box itself is a pretty basic item, Overhaul kit available. It is just that the steering column has to come out with it, not so bad with 2/2A as no dash in the way. Series 3 more work.

    Help with suspension

    Your float could be down to worn out dampers/shocks, other possible is worn bushings/brackets in rear axle. How much lift did it have?
