My starting battery is an Optima which are smaller, the numax sits where the jack use to be. Do you use your a/c? I ripped mine out, the a/c rad got in the way of my winch

I would imagine if you loosen the mounting brackets you should be able to bend the pipes out the way, they are ally pipes so if you be gentle and take care not to kink you can move them quite a bit

I'll try moving the pipes as I'm limited to 270 x 175
Not worth fitting a winch as I'm thinking of breaking it to raise money for a 110 and the AC is ice cold

Great pics Mikey.

Looks like a good day, been a while since I have seen bures that dry, last few times I went it was just a mud pit!! Quick tip, clean your brakes out, Bures mud killed my brand new brake pads in about 100 miles with all the sand!

There is an Essex Off Road coming up in a few weeks, I know some of you guys were saying you haven't done it yet so anyone fancy it? I should hopefully be 100% up and running by then...

Good one, No advisories even better.

The V5 for the series has finally turned up. I was starting to get a little worried as the guy i brought her off had never registered her in his name.

I was over the outlaws at the weekend and another guy stopped to enquire about it. He already has a few Landy's and is an occasional visiter to Newbourne.
Think he maybe interested in joining us for some laning one day.

Standard length shocks?
Anti roll bar still fitted?

New need to fit longer shocks, softer springs and remove you anti roll bars to get more articulation.
