Programme on Channel - 96 - Goblin Garage are making changes to a Series Land Rover 8.30 - 9.30 pm [bighmmm]

I'd seen pictures of the slammed Land Rover on the internet some time back. Turns out this episode was from 2018.

There was also one at Cooma in 2018, I may have a picture somewhere.

Here's another but I think the chassis was swapped out and just the panels used.

ColinI remember reading about this a while back, pretty interesting. Rover 80 chassis and the 3.9l v8, I actually don't mind the look of it.

[ramblingboy42]

in my youthful days the terminology was "chopped".....is slammed pertinent to land rovers?

[ramblingboy42]

didn't some guy a few years ago drag race a "gasser" series LR?

To the best of my knowledge, slammed refers to exaggerated lowering of the suspension, whereas chopped is applied to the roofline.

'Pimped' or 'Plumped'?

[jerryd]

'Pimped' or 'Plumped'?

Plumped ?? '' to adjust its stuffing and make it rounded and soft.'' [bighmmm][bighmmm] I think not [biggrin]

[trout1105]

For me a 4WD is a very important tool in my arsenal for my camping/fishing expeditions' and for the life of me I fail to understand why anyone would want to "kneecap" the capability of a 4WD in this fasion, It's about as clever as cutting the top out of your tent or removing the prop off your outboard[bigwhistle]

I agree with that But that doesn't change the fact that this particular mod is illogical and pointless not to mention a complete waste of money and a perfectly good 4WD.
The ride in a series landrover isn't that flash to begin with, Just imagine what it will be like after it has been slammed.

[ramblingboy42]

I saw recently a Rav4 , obviously "slammed" and running on who knows what size huge rims with the lowest sidewalls I have ever seen.

I reckon that was pointless but I bet his mates think it's cool.....I can imagine their heads nodding in agreement as he croozes up and down the Surfers Paradise esplanade on a friday night.

....and not to be forgotten , you also see similarly attired ....should it be attyred... Range Rovers doing the same thing , with 4-500 watts of doof as well.

One thing I have to give these guys is the vehicles are absolutely gleaming.

It's called art. [thumbsupbig]

Art comes in varying levels of good too... [biggrin]

I think part of the fun of doing these modifications is to tick off the rivet counters & 'you can't 4WD that' brigade.

Slammed and chopped. [tonguewink] Makes it easy to wash the roof. [biggrin]

It's called art. [thumbsupbig]

And art, in its truest sense, aims to get a person to see or think about things in a different way.

I had a 77 2 door RRC for awhile (that I really just bought for the Maxi F&R diffs) that in my view was a work of art and a 'classic' of an era, reverse 'slammed' with 2" spring lift, 2" body lift, Maxi everything diffs F&R, 4.4 race motor, 3" mandrel exhaust, winch challenge bar, Warn, on the front, 35 x 12 tyres, etc.

Some would criticise those mods, but there were plenty running around back in the day and they were works of art and got thrashed in use like F1 cars which are also works of art.

The thrashing of such vehicles is also a form of art. Like here for example:

Ellis Track (warbt Trip - Hard) 15/16 April (https://www.aulro.com/afvb/victorian-reports/26802-ellis-track-warbt-trip-hard-15-16-april.html)

Even 'chopping' a RRC was viewed as 'normal'. Pirate in the US used to get the post chant up 'Sawsall, sawsall' when someone bought an immaculate 4 door.

Towards the end the elder statesmen would say the new finds posted should be restored.

This thing from Pirate is a work of art, but the absolute opposite of 'slammin'.

I'd prefer to see LR's converted to lowriders, so even if they look slammed the suspension can be raised to normal height or beyond.
