Had to reschedule to next Thursday so no wheel change today!🙄

I’ve been green laning since I got my first Landy in the early 90’s. I started with some friends who were members of a local off road club which was mostly into trials. We went in groups of two or three and didn’t tear up the lanes or drive off...

Why do people need to be told how to behave? All sorts of behaviour is available to be seen on the Internet, some just fine some not, doesn't make it an excuse. The group in the video know full well they were driving where they shouldn't and...

Thankfully I managed to buy some pins off eBay - LR Optional Parts and they came in a few days. Great service 👍. I fitted the catches to the glass, gave the glass a clean, painted the round securing nuts silver to make them look a bit better 😊...

Here’s what I cut out the nearside rear

The bonnet stiffener is rotten as a pear. With holes. The spare wheel carrier was unbolted and the bonnet hinge screws saw the slitting wheel release their grip. I dont know if there is an authorised way to remove the stiffner. The oak wedges...

Having the rostyles swapped over to the wolf wheels on the ninety. 😁

I hate welding on the chassis…I ain’t no welder.

Been to plenty of pay & play days where I have not even bothered driving. By us they just put the motors in the deepest things they could find & winch all day. I’m sure none of these drivers could do a challenge event(punch hunt). & last a day.

As a sort of update I emailed the Glass Chairman who via the local rep, has passed the video and as much info as possible to the relevant authorities. What comes of it, if anything, I do not know.

Very sensible and considerate driving at all times. Note a couple of lanes situated on the 'gallops' it is actually sign posted "NOT" to follow the track but to spread out to avoid making ruts so not to risk injury to horses. Just thought I would...

Here’s my special…love these as work horses . With the back on I can sleep in the rear on green lane trips

Well today I started off tidying up the rear door on my 110 with some checker plate... naughty I know but it looks better than holes! Went out with the dog and I could smell petrol after a while... pulled over and looked, petrol spraying...

Spent a hateful day welding the chassis on the Ninety, another hateful day to look forward to tomorrow. Why is it when welding on a bit of scrap metal you get a lovely weld, get underneath with your head wedged between propshaft and exhaust and...

One of the rear crossmembers had seen the metal moth generate fresh air where steel should be. Tonight's task was to fill it in with a small patch: And weld it back in. Only got access to arc at the moment and that can be a bit fierce on...

Removed the bed system Fixed(pop rivit) a bar back onto the tail gate Installed the new spare wheel brackets to get the tyre off the floor. Off to shops for nuts/bolts/washers. Replace stocks And when the mrs won’t hold your nuts ;) use a...

Ready for summer when it starts raining again 🤣

Great pics and stunning scenery. 😁

We go to Wiltshire or West Berkshire on occasion if you fancy coming along. Usually post up in the Green lane section before we go.

Update…. 3good days of lanes. We decided not to do strata as lots of bikes out on the Taffy Dakar. They warned us 1 normal lane had a landrover off the edge & rolled down the bank & been there a few days. We was able to miss the section...

Dry and dusty again. Twas my son's girlfriends first trip, don't think she was that enthusiastic about such activities. Only did a few hours in the end. Will get a video done sometime soonish.

How very American of you using psi! However 80psi sounds very high, are you sure that is correct? At the risk of starting a large debate on tyre pressures I tend to run mine at about 32-34psi (2.2 bar in correct measurements ;)), So 80 sounds...

Whilst washing the 90, the blades needed replacing. A pair of Bosch replacements were purchased from eBay for a good price.

Mine needed an adjustment this week. 3 clicks as normal and parked on the hill. 10 mins later it rolled back 5 foot into the Hilux behind me….centre double locking nuts had vibrated loose green laning. May change this to a single nylock instead

Leaving the car in gear when parking, will be a hard habit to break. Sorry to hear about your truck, who came off worse? My money is on the slightly softer-nosed Hilux.

I usually would but Mrs K was out so I thought I’d use the hoover whilst she wasn’t looking!😁

The rear floor had enough metal moth holes to think pulling the floor up and replacing it was a good idea: Its not a job to be rushed. I think there were 66 spot welds and I lost count with the steel rivets, some of which were easy to access...

Washed it and polished it. Hoovered out the inside too. I got carried away… 😂

That is something that I hadn't though of until now and did make a big difference to mine both in hardtop form and now its station wagon configuration. On the floor of the rear load area (and second row foot well in the station wagon) I have 12mm...

Does it leak oil like a proper Land Rover?
