i found it ages ago but it was £280 plus p&p so i put it off at that price, lets hope its a good fit and not really cheap crap. i'v still got to get boots yet i can make up my mind might just go for the A/T tyres best of both then :)

Well on the way to getting the head gasket sorted, the truck should be on the road again by the end of next week, then there's just a few little jobs left before we set off for Wales :thumbup:

llama 4x4 for your shocks mate, if you wana fit the tyres with just a 2" lift then you may need to mod the arches, i wouldnt turn the front up all the way tho mate or itll bounce about like a goodun :wink: standard shocks will be fine with just the 2" lift tho :thumbup:

Fellas....

Can you keep this on topic please...this thread is for the laning weekend, there are other sections on the forum dedicated to the likes of suspension lifts and body mods...
We dont want to loose your worthwhile discussion, which could help others in future, in a thread/section of the forum which is not applicable, and it also makes this thread hard to follow where the topic swerves more than a really swervy topic...

End of Bolloxing...play on...(nicely though)...
:wink:
Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!
click here for the SE Events Index/links Thread...see all the reviews and whats coming up soon!

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!
