Well... My Story, My Replacement. Introducing my Landy

Reminds of the Simpsons episode where they go on Safari in Africa. Homer takes a photo of the Series 3 Land Rover dash going to 10000 miles.

Latest addition :)

Now I just have to find another 14 things that need switches :p

Just ordered suspension :)

My front shockies are leaking pretty bad and the back is cocked over slightly to one side at the moment from getting winched out of a hole a while ago ;)

So I thought I might go the whole hog :twisted:

Will post flex shots in a week or so :)

Here they are, pretty happy with the rear :twisted:

Next thing is offset rims, the rear tyres are touching on the spring hangers :(

Thanks DB :) I reckon it could go a little bit further but once I saw the sidewall was touching the spring hanger I decided it may not be a good idea :(

Thanks mate

I'm pretty happy with it, my pride and joy :)

Starting to get a soft spot :p

Looks excellent Jock, I'd stick with the alloys though, don't worry about touching the spring seats, it won't hurt:twisted: Alloys look better anyway IMHO.

Thanks JC :)

I do like the alloys, but won't it damage the sidewall seeing as it's rubbing fairly hard?

Depends HOW hard I guess, but mine does it and has done for the last set of tyres too. It IS worse with the 255/85's than the 235's, and having the detroit means it just keeps on driving anyway:eek:. I haven't noticed any lasting damage though.

Yet.
