Definately don't want to see battle scars on Black Betty, I'll find a nice piece of blacktop for you to test the low box and traction control :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:

Ill put the muddies on my Disco so you wont feel left out............I'll need to be careful as well :!: :!: :!:

I've got drawings somewhere for RR sliders, I'll be keen to view yours for future fitting to the Disco.
