Come on guys, power to the people and all that. We should all be feeling extra revolutionary at the moment with all that bollocks going on at G8.

Ripped from another forum but hopefully it can gather a few more signatures from here as well: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Suspend-NERC/ Original thread: New 'Restricted Byways' E-petition. Please sign.

If your going to get it lifted then you'll have to change the springs anyway! Loads of brands on the market, spaning from ludicrously expensive (Old Man Emu) to mid range (Bilstien) to cheaper (Pro Comp). Grab a copy of Land Rover Monthly, every man and his dog sells complete lift kits at...

The OEC 90 is lovely, no doubt about its quality either. But its a full on challenge truck. Its going to be crap on the black stuff and your going to need to keep it in a vault as it'll get knicked in about 15 minutes if you leave it anywhere. And dont even think about the cost of...

Standard 90 hardtops have 3 if you include the middle seat. 110's no longer have seats in the load area due to new laws, so 12 seaters are out. If your going to going mad off road then a truck cab is best as they are lighter and smaller. But its splitting hairs for the average driver. If...

Do you want a posing vehicle or an actual challenge truck? If you want a landy that looks really hard, just go get a Tomb Raider special edition. It has all the shiny bits already bolted on. If your not going to be using it really hard off road then hardened drive flanges, locking diffs...

I'm no expert, just talk to the supplier you have in mind, and if they are any good they should see you right. My 33 by 12.5 Khumo's required both a very deep dish rim and 15'' diameter rims. Some of the larger tyre sizes (anything from 33'' up) require a 15'' rim. Maybe get some tyres in...

Alot of the websites are saying that, the older it is the better. Mine have been well weathered for sure as they are covered in crap most of the time! Im going to try and get hold of some primer first and see how that goes.

Googling just brings up a load of old bollocks as usual. Knew i'd get a quicker answer on her, thanks! Edit: Looks like Hammerite make some, so actually it was me talking bollocks- not google.

Is this a stupid question? I have no idea. Ive got galvanised Tree sliders on my 110 and I want to colour code them to the bodywork, or paint them black. If I can get paint to key to galv at all, anyone know if I need a special primer? Cheers

Anything up to 33''. 35's will probably rub your steering components. Just make sure you get rims with the correct offset.

ha, just did that maths myself. Think it might be the middle one out of those three. Sounds like it migth eb ok, especially with pulleys. Guess the proof is in the pudding, if I win the auction ill just go outside and see what I can pull around with it.

Think I might be bidding on a smaller winch than I thought! Whoops.Trigger happy ebay bidding. Anywho, its only a tenner and I must beuseful for something, sometime. Its defo a genuine Trifor, just a smaller one. Still got a 1660kg lifting capacity. Anyone got a spare Trifor cable they...

Thinking of getting a Trifor off be-gay as they seem to be going for so little money it seems silly not to have one. Question though: few on there don't have cables with them, do they use a special cable with a tapered end to help you thread it through the winch or will any old winch cable do...
