You got a weight problem with your range rover? And :wtf:you tryin to do. Buy your kids a new pair of shoes or something for the family.

That is the most stupid self centered thing i've heard anyone say on here.
Stupid is what stupid does.:eek::eek::eek:

Waste of time and cash, if you got that much to waste send it to me I can find a better use for it.

:5biagree: the cost of them would be huge compared to the value of the RR, and would the oil leak's not degrade the carbon fibre? Personally if I had the cash I'd go for titanium;)
 
waste of cash bud,carbon fibre is very strong in itself so can handle the rotational forces but if you are going off road it's not particularly resistant to impact so one good smack on a rock and you have a shattered shaft,at least with steel you can limp home and get it properly straightened or just replace it for pennies and the first time someone puts it in a vice to replace the u/js it will crush rendering the item scrap.
 
thanks for the replys but like the old girl that much that i want her to last the me the next 30 year then bury me in it already had carbon fibre wings built by a mate and got rid of the old floor and replaced with half inch armour plate and got an understanding wife as long as she got everything she needs for her and me boys i can do pretty much what i want to my range rover after all i did,nt moan when her old mk2 golf got wrote off
she loved that car that much i spent 12 months of weekends and evening putting it back together
