Yeah, but your manliness is never in question Andy

[stompingbinkie]

Not what i did today, more like what i did Sunday.

My first ever pay and play. Turns out to be an old moto-x track, not many know about it, in fact there was only me and a guy in a Defender 90 there! Was expecting a bit more, but for £10 you cant grumble.

A mate and I went through and replaced the shocks, springs and torsion bars (the Ironman Frontera Kit with the Foam Cell shocks) to give the suspension a refresh - and a height increase of course .

Before:


After:


Handles amazingly well now and nice to look down upon the masses (until someone in a Landcruiser rolls past )

Now all I have on my shortlist is tyres, manual hubs, a nudge bar and a light bar

[dickycaz]

strip and free off the rear brakes replace the hand brake cables un seize the adjusters then rebuild rear brakes.replace the hand brake as i snapped the adjuster when trying to free it off. put a new cd radio from my old truck. changed over my insurance from the old one to the replacement one.
i still have loads to do. I am going for the plain look to this one no extra lights or snorkel no side steps no bull bars no roof rack just a plane looking frontera except for the 33"tyres a 4"body lift and a 2"suspension lift and the hybrid turbo and intercooler from my old truck

[paul higgi]
