Thread: Has anyone else noticed this is there County while off road?

yep had that problem and still get it with the perenties.

my solution



























lower the rear tyre pressure.

Thanks everyone!
We always run 18psi in the tyres off road, don't really want to go any lower
i'm not really talking about slippery wet muddy ruts which it is near impossible to keep out of the ruts, just often dry grippy ruts up and down hills it will try to slide in every time
We follow'd a disco up the same hill he barly slid at all and kept nice and hi on the rut, we couldn't no matter what line we took so had to rely on lockers to get us up

TIM.

Tim, sounds like you know somebody who has the answer. Ask him.

It's actually a Boge Hydromat as fitted to the original RR.

What you describe is just a symptom of a LWB. Stiff springs and high tyre pressures will make it worse though. But the back end of a 4x4 will always try to slip down into the ruts.

That is pretty high. If your tyres are tight on the bead you can run much lower. I regularly run 7psi offroad and have never lost a bead. It makes a HUGE difference. But the rear end will still occasionally slide into the ruts. I find that wagons are worse at this because of the higher C of G.

I had the same HD King Spings in the rear of my 110 wagon (fitted by previous owner). When lightly loaded, the shocks were all but topped out - even at rest and it would lift a rear wheel very easily. I fitted the lightest springs I could find and it made a big difference. If you carry heavy loads occasionaly, its only a 10 minute job to change the rear springs.
