    Nice link.

    You guys have prob all seen it, but a few yrs ago i was given a program made in the UK called the Birth of a Land rover, basically a guy gets a RR classic, turns it into a 100inch (i think) wheel base awesome Rangie/LR hybrid, rebuilds everything over 2500 man hours in the build i think.

    pretty in-depth, nut and bolt build, i still have it if anyone is yet to watch it, best LR dvd ever i would think.

    Umm, "A 4x4 is Born" by Mark Evans? It's been on cable TV a few times recently. I haven't seen it all unfortunately.

    DEAR HRA,

    Hey Paul/Andy,

    Can you add that winch set up RonRon has to the HRA P38 project list?

    AND HERE IT IS IN WRITING: I WILL BUY THE SECOND ONE (GUESSING FIRST IS ALWAYS GONNA BE PAULS!) YOU CAN BUILD/SOURCE!

    Think I like his front diff/axle/steering guard too!

    Hoo-roo, Dave & pig

    There are some clever blokes out there alright. When I swap over my current HRA bar for the newer winch one, I will be fitting a winch and seeing if I can break one of them. Having the winch removable isn't a bad idea though, unless you're in to the "pose value" of having one on all the time , or actually need it.

    You're right about the other thing Dave... mine will be first

    Cheers, Paul.

    Ron B, yep that's the one.

    I though it was pretty good, the host Mark Evans, i believe is a Vet, he has done a few of those programs with different vehicles, the LR series is the only one i have seen though.

    Is he really?

    I just Googled him and, by gum, you're right. See http://www.markevans.co.uk/

    He's done a racing car, an aeroplane, an old Harley rebuild, and who know what else. I wish I had his skill.

    Late edit: I've just had a better look at his site and I think I'm gunna have to buy some DVDs - he's done a lot more than I knew.

    I've had an idea about this before. There's a number of winch mounts and winches around to fit into a Hayman Reese hitch. I reckon it would be very handy to have a Hayman Reese in the front somehow (if possible even) - then you could have a single swappable front/rear winch ! It would be removable when not needed too. Having a front winch is all well and good for hills etc ... but when you get stuck somewhere and you need to winch back out its a problem.

    I did some tentative inquiries at the local engineers but left it there. Still think it would be a bloody good idea - just need someone to work out the how to stuff
