what ....at valley offroad ....YES ...and it's very sloppy ..mud tyres are a must

[Red Oktober]

been trying to get hold of the guys who run the site near Trusham ......but it seems that both the forums they're on are having technical issues at present

will keep trying

[neil sharland]

well done mate is there anyway of finding out if those springs of yours are actully longer than the standard ones on mine you seem a bit of a wiz kid i tried but aint got a clue????

[Red Oktober]

standard and new coils together .....

also don't forget the SWB's are lighter than the LWB's

[neil sharland]

thats what i thought that yours would be longer to take the weight of the long wheel base where did you purchase your springs? how much? if yours are no good il have to buy some more i have a mate that will make any thing he is going to make me a bumper also mvoe my spring mounts to give me some lift if i wont but not sure if that a good idea? thanks for pics il have a look at mine tommorrow when i get it back from the garage it fail mot but not too bad anti roll bar bush gone!!

[Red Oktober]

my springs & shocks came from these people .. http://www.tbruk.com/index.html?lmd=39379.390671 ....and cost £380 ish quid .i know thats quite a lot for 2 springs and 4 shocks ..but OME is good quality stuff ..

DO NOT move the spring mounts ... ..lift is attained by fitting larger tyres ....to accommodate the larger tyres a suspension and/or body lift is carried out (i've got both on mine)



wonder if your mate is the one i spoke to on the "Devon4x4 forum" about making me a winch bumper at his workshops in exeter

[neil sharland]

my mate who makes the bits and bobs is in cheriton fitzpain he is very cheap let me know as he will make yours no worries he makes external roll cages too

[Red Oktober]

theres a word you don't hear much ....."Cheap" ....might have to pay him a visit once my truck is back on the road

can you pm me a phone number or weblink to his workshops

hi all that are interested what do you all wont to do half day or full day not sure you could spend the hole day there mind you perhaps a few lanes after i need to ring the owner to book it ??

[Red Oktober]

Think a half day will be quite ample

[woodwizzard]

Half day will be fine if the site isn't that big. After that just see what people want to do.

[neil sharland]
