just wonderin because although mines lifted slightly gonna have to be careful must consider the fact that damage costs money so will probably be found trundling round the gental parts for a while as i'm a careful driver honest

Same here mate, but mines not even lifted. I can't afford to damage it in any way and I want to keep it in good nick. My main interest is with bikes but still want to have a dabble in my frontera. What's it like there anyway? Are there tamer areas for the less hardcore?

I'll be taking the Sport, and whilst it looks modified, the suspension is standard - well, a little lift but with standard length shocks. I too will be taking it easy, as until I can get the BBB through the MOT I'm commuting in the Sport Lawrence

Winding up the torsion bars will give a little more clearance at the front, but that's about it - you will still be running standard length shocks so your suspension travel will actually be less. Leave them it as it is, get some experience of how a standard Frontera performs (you'll be surprised) and then plans for modifications based on your days P&P experience. Lawrence

I personally wouldnt bother removing the ARB. The frontera is a very capable vehicle without a suspension lift and there wont be much advantage if it just removed for the day and 'probably' wont be a huge advantage without a lift (my opinion). I had been to plenty of P&P days before I had my lift and have only grounded a few times, Ive also grounded with the lift (I have a LWB tho) so it really is a matter of picking your line and not getting over-enthusiastic.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it! Me Truck
