We managed to get some additional work done today.
In went the UHF..
Thanks to Luke at Mr Automotive, managed to hunt me a "correct" Raised Air Intake for the Car. We sealed it up a little as well. Looks good..!
Roof Rack went on the roof, and was so happy with the Great Whites LED bar that we mounted another one on the roof.
Still much more to come, but we are getting there..

Out of interest what size tyres do you have on your RRS?
Cheers
Did you replace the pipe inside the guard or just pull it out and tape it up to seal it?Quote:

Hi Garry we left the original internals, so we can get it checked with LR. I've got a good dealer and has taken a good interest in helping with the car. We plan to change it over to a complete system, however I am very aware of the electronics, computers and leather, which I have no interest in drowning.
I cannot speak for the updated RRS but in the earlier version like have the internal pipe is perforated to let water out if it gets into standard intact so this makes the system "leaky". Now I did hear the later versions used a sealed pipe but I am not sure. If you want to use you RAI as a snorkel, in addition to sealing the external intake to the body, you will need to make sure the pipe that joins the RAI to the airbox is also sealed - but as I said on your model it may already be.Quote:

Hi Gary, no my version is perforated. We checked.
However we plan on changing it, just making sure landrover are ok with the approach. But plan is to put a closed system in.
another update this morning.. :)...
Thanks to Gordon at GOE, my rims arrived and have been fitted with the Cooper ZEON LTZ 18".. Very Happy with them
I have 2 spares i am carrying, unfortunately the rear wheel carrier is not on yet, so still waiting on it to arrive and fit. But one is on the roof for the time being.
Here's a couple of pics..
Mate,
That is one good looking Sport it will look even better towing a van and covered in mud !!!
Have you looked into any sill protection/rock sliders ?

Hi George, Yep already ordered and waiting on the way from Gordon (GOE)..
The rear wheel carrier and looks like i am going to get SupaPeg to custom make rear/side awnings for the lift up boot :)...
Yeah it will get very dirty. First major 4wd trip is in about 4 weeks across and back the Simpson desert :).. I've got a very large custom 9mt caravan we are towing.. I'll post some pics of them together.. But here's one from a couple of weeks ago..
