    Buying a winch, which one?

    I had the last model, all I can tell you is that it's not waterproof.

    I realise that, it was just an example. He wouldn't need that much wire/

    removable winches

    You could just use a normal winch and remove it and swap it, I have pretty much zero mechanical knowledge or ability and it only takes less than 5 minutes to remove it. Its just 4 bolts and then it lifts out. You could use a connector like this one to then just plug it into the new truck...

    Rock Crawling

    As you're near Peterborough there is a small section of large rocks in the Yarwell Quarry off road course - it is open this Sunday.

    Sounds good to me!

    12,000lb Winch + Pressure Washer

    It might draw its own water - I am not sure. It looks like a good idea though but it depends on how well put together it is.

    12,000lb Winch + Pressure Washer

    I saw this on eBay while looking for winches: RECOVERY WINCH WITH PRESSURE WASHER 12V 12000 lb | eBay It appears to be a generic winch with a pressure washer built into it, looks like a great idea so I no longer have to shovel mud off my driveway after washing the 110 down. Does anyone have...

    Also the oven is quite small in regards to actual internal capacity!

    Anti Mud Sprays - Got a question

    Well when you're off roading you are relying more on mechanical grip than chemical grip so it would not be as much of a big deal, still a silly idea IMHO however :D

    - Metal Box

    Cheers for looking, a locker would bit a bit too narrow for what I need it for - the material is right though. Mark - Ammo boxes are a good idea - the problem being that I can only seem to find smaller ones that are made of metal. This one is the right size but it is made out of wood: raf...

    - Metal Box

    Hello, This is probably a long shot however if anyone has a metal box or knows where such a thing can be bought (as cheap as possible). I need it to make a DIY powder coating oven - needs to be about the same size as this: | diy powder coating system Unfortunately the Ikea cabinet...

    Billy jean the 2.5 disco

    I have the slightly thicker Terrafirma shocks on my 110, they are really good but they started to rust only about 3 months after I put them on. That is certain,y one of the better home made snorkels I have seen :D

    speed ratings!

    I work for an insurance company (though I deal with home insurance). For an insurance company to apply an exclusion like this and void your claim the issue must be material to the incident that has occurred. For instance if you went off the road due to a tyre failure and they found that your...

    Dash cams?

    I don't see why they couldn't, if they believe a crime has taken place they can take evidence. The one I have in my car is fitted behind the rear view mirror so quite hard to spot unless you're looking for it. You can only see the GPS data and g-sensor readings if you use special...

    Dash cams?

    I have a family member who uses a Novus dash cam: Welcome to Novus Very useful as she spends all day teaching people to drive in Peterborough. That Novus system records front and back. She has had a new system fitted recently that records 4 ways - completely essential if you spend extended...
