    2" lift with 285/75 Stability

    On my 90 I have lots of weight up top, roof tent, awning, high lift, 2 jerry cans and a storage box.. I fitted HD springs which makes it better and 30mm spacers which also more stable off road but really what you need is a anti roll bar, x-eng do one that dislocates electronically with a switch...

    I'm doing Morocco in September / October :)

    There is plenty of technical off roading there if you want to do it, same as anywhere in the world :) Having said that we are doing Andorra on the way back and that looks pretty hardcore. The money I spent on the fender is not for this trip, it is for the lifetime of the vehicle and it will...

    City diesel, and its benefits ??

    I think it's just proper garage fuel vs super market fuel, I notice a big difference when I put Shell or BP in vs the local Tesco's.. Better performance and better MGP too.

    Someone teach me leccy usage formulas?

    Hmmmmm, I need to find out what a peltier fridge is! No, 3tb (6tb including backup) is too large for solid state disks it will be 2 3tb spinning disks and I think I will fit a 3rd leisure battery for the fridge. What battery management system are you running bump? I have a merlin smartbank and...

    No it's a proper compressor fridge, I got it based on the A++ energy rating and have a friend who has used it in 30 degree + weather and had no problems.Dometic WAECO International - Thermoelectric coolers Could get a little generator but I think I would rather have a 3rd battery for the fridge :/

    Someone teach me leccy usage formulas?

    Well accpording to this Battery Usage & Drain Calculator I will only get 7 hours out of my battery and pi and thats without the cameras charging and hard drives running! So where do people generally put a 3rd battery in a 90?! :p

    Someone teach me leccy usage formulas?

    The battery is supposedly 'dual-purpose' so hope thats not the case.. I wanted a battery I would be able to use in case my starter battery failed that would be able to power all my kit over night before been charged up again the next day :( I think I might turn the fridge on tomorrow night...
