Cheers, Paul.

Yeh, this is the problem. I do want to make this pretty special, but I wasn't planning on spending too much.
I'm liking all of the ideas people are throwing up, so cheers for that.

I'm in Oz, so no unimog diff :-(.... or unimog haha.

I'm liking the idea of 35inch wheels with coil-over springs and such.

does anybody know some reliable suspension fitters in Sydney? or arond that area? I'm gonna gather up some quotes on such.

Again thanks for all the ideas,
keep em coming

I've always wanted to duplicate some of the additions the bloke on the site below has made. Especially the air lines and water heater for a hot shower!



Range Rover P38

i mean no offence but take the car out and drive it 1st, they are a bloody good 4x4 and will scare the pants off you in stock form if you wheel it right.

going 35's and coil overs will pay more for the set up then the car and it wont be drivable as a daily. 35's will take a lot of work just to fit under the guards

get a set of lokers 1st (if they do them) then some 33's and then some gen 3 bags. that is as far as i would go with a daily driver.

Jeez, sounds like you've driven mine... oh yeah, you have

Don't forgot to replace the OE shocks with some Bilstiens too.

Got directed to this thread and just noticed what I wrote 18+ months ago

Find it hard to believe that I was recommending people to put Bilsteins on their P38's. Guess I was younger then and didn't mind the overly-firm ride so much...

Now that I am much older, the fragile bones are more susceptible to the bumps in the road and dirt that Bilsteins tend to enhance, and it just wouldn't do to spill a drop of Bollinger on the tweed jacket while towing the thoroughbreds over speed humps on the way to have a friendly bout of polo with Chuckka and the lads from the club
