He's not gonna be gettin stuck anywhere in that!!!!
Tell him to take it to sheff and drive through all the puddles and see if he pisses any1 off

[uk dave]

Well aint imperial blue lol reckon he must have found some blue spare think though not certain yet it`l be plastered in beechtree 4x4 decals on the white bits (he makes winchbumpers/rocksliders etc-4x4stuff)Told me he`d painted it all blue first but didnt like it.(still bits to finish yet.)

What engine is gonna end up in that Dave? Or is it staying standard??

[uk dave]

Started off as a v8 vogue mate an still has same engine, "think" it may have aircon, lekky windows an sunroof aswell lol- still small(believe it or not) though compared to another mates landrover ,but that is pretty extreme though havent seen him out for a while with that.

for any 4x4 fans heres a pic (took from mate of a mates 4x4 site-click on T44axles for more pics http://www.tonks4x4.com/indexb.htm )

Simply awesome

Whats it like offroad??

[uk dave]

Apparently amazing mate,a few of the lads have been well into offroading a long while though generally a mix of car and landrover chat between us at night when we`re up town.

I think the tyres would take it anywhere Looks like a mini Monstor Truck

[uk dave]

He were actually out last night mate couldnt believe it and err pmsl as theyre like truck wheels apparently ya can run em bk to bk and have twin wheels each corner for offroading (sure yav seen tractors like it though think you`d need longer studs)

axles came off one of these then axles and landrover were modified to fit.

has got smaller tyres on now though to be fair than when pictured (ought to have took a pic last night really)

That looks great mate Needs some good suspension for that!!
