    Rotate the hand break lever away from your leg , or get rid of it all together and put a rangi / disco one in next to the cubby box.
    Set of 20 mil tube seat rails ( new longer high tensile bolts req).
    Think of something or do a search here, some ones bound to have done it before.

    That will be quite enough of that....


    that attitude is reserved soley for use against puma owners.


    back on topic

    what did you want to achieve? are you modding for the sake of modding or do you have an end objective?

    Muzza99,

    Silly question time.
    Why do you want to modify it? What doesn't it have that would improve it? (apart from communications equipment of course.)

    I'm another one which would question your motive.

    If you're changing things just for the sake of it, don't bother (if it ain't broke, don't fix!). Instead, just spend your time & money getting it serviced properly.

    Also, if you're new to this 4x4 thing, get some training. Decent servicing & proper driving skills will save you loads of grief (and $$$) as you will be less likely to break things. (Getting stuck, with a broken car is a PITA!)

    1. Dual batteries in the standard battery compartment.
    2. Mod rear seats so they swing forward for easy access to under seat
    storage area and on mine I made them quick removable. (130 )
    3. shave rear diff ......quick and easy job to gain 1/2 inch clearence
    4. Add heavy duty axle drive flanges and replace worn axles if required.
    5 Add head light relay so head light switch doesnt burn out.
    6 add brass plumbers BSP plugs to radiator and thermostat housings and the same size fits the gearbox oil level plug so you will not need a special tool to undo it and can use a shifter.
    7. Add dual power sockets to the rear tray or HCPU ( 130 )
    8. Add grease nipple to drag link rod ends.
    9 Use Z9 filter for lube on motor.....cheaper and no problems,
    10. add extra fuel filter by replacing the water trap at the LHS rear wheel with a CAV type filter with a glass bowl as it is cheaper to replace that filter and you can see whats going on with the glass bowl.

    All cheap and easy stuff to do.
