Re: Mikes lwb build and repairs !
So few weeks back another tough event in Cornwall was good fun with my pal ben
Took my hilux as a tow car and it was useless
So got another tow car for off-road events as don't want to ruin my discocovery as it's a land Rover it will go pop soon.
Got filmed on the way home it went all over Facebook so im told I don't have it, What ever that means some lad took vid on motorway if truck on trailer I have no idea how to upload it

Re: Mikes lwb build and repairs !
Magazine feature was cool came out last month
Was pleased with the article and that.
Few bits to get done before using truck again need to rebuild front axle has some oil leaks and brake pipe that's bent needs replacing.
I got to also go through my spares package as well start to sort them out, done a few Hubs at events so need to build them up. Also started to get hot at last event but think I forgot to switch the fan on

Re: Mikes lwb build and repairs !
Currently sat in dad workshop resting. Been in use for a while now bless him, more events next year hopefully he will still be good for them.
Few jobs to do on the tow car but once it's done will be a lot easier to throw crap in and go to events rather than muck about with cardboard lining my car to put my dirty clothes in
Might change the diff gearing for next year, make it not quite so low, but we shall see. I need a gearing calculator if anyone has a link?
