    Titanium Bolts

    Erm.....Titanium in close proximity (touching) Aluminium is NOT a good idea.....OK for Steel though....Pretty bling but a tad pointless....Ti still oxidises unless coated....

    Hi mate, Nice 100" - Looks extreme! I have seen Buchan offroad club at shows etc and had a look at their website, but I am not quite as extreme as them! My landy is to be used on the road, and I was looking at Pay n Play days or somewhere to have some fun in it :) Im just outside Aberdeen :)...

    Dyneema OR Plasma winch rope

    Having read loads about these ropes recently (tho having no practical experience - yet!) it would seem that an advantage of the synthetic over the wire ropes is for winch challenge competitors - They dont bother reeling in the rope between points on the course, they just chuck the excess rope...

    Yeah - it does sound like you are being chased by a chopper!!! Think i might have to upgrade the stereo - was struggling to hear it over the tyres! It handles ok on the Insa's, I was worried that it would be dodgy, but seems fine :) Im totally sun-burnt having fitted the bits today tho...
