Sounds good mate will give you a bell this eve :)

I'm in wycombe mate are you about at all during the week for me to take a look?

Very cool mate :)

I am also a member of CVLRC :) Never made it to a event still! I always end up with Anglian Rover Owners Club who I am also a member of. Will definitely come to one of the CCV events to have a look at your motor next year would love to see what a td5 can do.

Lol it's nice to stumble across people talking about your landy isn't it :) Just need to work out how easy it might be to convert a 130 to hard top, I think nene overland and foleys both do conversions but I have no idea on cost.. Guessing it's going to be cheaper to do myself!

Cheers that looks good :) So do I do that or convert a 130 exactly the same but retain room for the seats too.. Trying to weigh up pros and cons between 130 and 110.. Turning circle and departure angle seem to be the main ones but I am hoping offset wheels and wide arches may solve the turning...

It wouldn't be for 5 people on expeditions just two, I spent 4 weeks in the roof tent in Morocco this year and while they are awesome I don't feel they can stand up to the level of abuse I require and at 2k a pop they aren't cheap to replace either! Very cold to sleep in while we were in Andorra...

Just takes me to a login page lol :) Whats the thread about I will sign up if it's a goodun?

No but very interested to see how you get on, it's all V8 CCV motors my way..

This is the sort of thing.. But I would have solid van sides

Mornin, Has anyone done a 130 CSW conversion or seen how its done? I know Foleys do them but want to avoid using them. What I am after is a expedition vehicle where I can sleep in the back while retaining the 2nd row of seats which I don't think would be possible in a 110.. Anyone done any...

It's a tough one mate as I have nothing to compare too, having said that we did some pretty tough stuff and we got through it! Also I should say my copper STT's are not the most aggressive mud terrains, insa turbos would be crap :)

Used the old waffle boards ALOT! Mate told me a good trick i wish i had heard before hand, tie them to the car so you dont have to pick em up after! Yup, aired down to 18psi which made a huge difference, so much better.

Got plenty more not even sure I have seen them all mate! In other news it sucks being back at work.. Thinking of doing a trip to Andorra and the Pyrenees early next year if anyone fancies it :) IMG_0023 by t4bby1, on Flickr IMG_0069 by t4bby1, on Flickr IMG_0141 by t4bby1, on Flickr...

IRB do a VGT but not sure on cost IRB Developments

They look good :) everything from front runner is expensive though..

Hanging him wouldn't be punishment enough IMHO.. Scum of the earth :mad:

Sorry to hear :( post a pic up if you can

Haha awesome :D

We played around with it and it helps, but as you said not viable for us at work :) If it was for myself, I would use start8, get the aero theme from 7 installed so it's not blocky solid colours, disable all the hot corners and the stupid login window and then see if there is a way to stop...
