Used it to winch a customers car off one of the islands in the car park lol. They just drove over it thinking they could sneak out forwards instead of having to reverse and because the middle of the island was just a muddy puddle she got stuck and dug herself a small hole and the bellyed out lol

Haven't exactly done but have been thinking about a 1-2" lift and have been reading up about it, very surprised to discover how easy it is to do, shocks and springs need doing anyway so its only two more bolts to adjust the fronts....... I need to stop spending time on FOG its a bad influence :twisted:

Fitted Remote central locking kit
Wired up air horns

And cured the biggest fault with the A series. No bloody cup holder

Rough Country shocks +2 and discovery front springs +2 we'll see how they do

The only boundry is your imagination.

Cleaned and prepared all rubber sealings around the doors for winter.

I wonder what amount of dirt and leafs was hidden behind the seals!

Kind regards,
