used to have rectangular roof lights,there ok if you wanna light up your bonnet and about 10ft in front of your landy,the ones on at the mo give a massive long throw pencil beam light and certainly light up a huge distance in front of ya,im happy wiv them now as this is the 4th set of roof lights i have tried,

my rock sliders were an ebay bargain,there heavy duty ones and brand new inc postage i paid £100!!! well happy wiv that.

can i ask why you want stainless sliders?
surely there gonna get scratched and bashed about?
unless its for the school run of course

Good point on the lights, it's functionality you want over looks. I want Stainless Rock and Tree sliders as the galvanising does get bashed off as well as the paint. If you bash stainless it gets scratched but doesn't rust. I was looking at the Terrafirma 90 and a lot of that passivated steel goes rusty after a while, as does the silver paint they use. Anyway my 90 is only 2002 and my main motor so I wanted to keep it looking smart but at the same time be very capable for RTV fun and expeditions. Biggest issue with the sliders is the wife's height and not being able to get in anymore! I'm wondering if this will become a feature or a benefit...

I've got stainless diff guards on the way from Craig over at Driven Image, not too pricey either.

Landyman.... did you pass me last Thursday evening? I was parked up around Silk hill (SU 184 468) in my green 110 CSW, full external cage, scoffing a kebab

you came up the hill heading towards the back of Bulford (There was a DAF 4 tonner parked just up ahead of where (i think) you passed me, next to the small green shed thing)


Anyway, if it was you "hi", of not, um....:doh:

hi mate.yes i fink we did.been out on the byways playing

Yeah, I didn't hit much mud, but was covered in dust!

only just finished building it, so don't want to wrek the paint job just yet

any idea of total price?You got any more ya wanna do to it?

Just a shade over £11.5k (that's parts alone, obviously as I did it myself then labour doesn't come into it, although that price does include things I couldn't do, such as galvanising, the paint job...epsom metallic green, powder coating and shot blasting)

A few little more jobs, making racking for ground anchors and such stuff, and a bed system for when I go laning on weekends/go abroad so I can kip in the back.

Maybe a little tweeking here and there, but that's about it

Still cheaper (by more than 50%) than a brand new 110 Td5 CSW. plus this one is all to my spec.
