What have you done to your Landie today.

Just got in, front end feeling a tad funny .. front offside shock at an odd angle, top mount looks 'wrong' .. can't get a pic to show it .. but Juliet reckons a set of Terrafirma's +2" might be OK to put on, so who am I to argue?

Love me wife ..

sorted me ickle starting problem ( air leak on the return pipe joint )
sorted me weird oil leak ( rocker top gasket creased behind water pump )

Heh, just been out to look at my arches and they look more curved, over the top. No worries, interested 'cos we're shortly going to fit some larger tyres and will need something similar. I guess when the arches are cut to accommodate tyres it doesn't matter, they can follow any line you want ..

they look like the universal extended arches most places sell
