Couple more, brilliant day. Didn't break anything except a winch line, good fun day.
Well impressed with what it drove, some of it was mad.
I have the challenge bug now.

Good day I had lots of fun,
Didn't break which was the main thing.
Couple of things I now need to do, extra leaf in the front springs, they have started two wrap already.
Cut the sills back to allow more room for the tyre, just starting to catch under max flex.
Rear winch has to go in, it's a must.

are you going to add tubes to the cage to protect it any more?
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Looks like a good day out! where did you come?
Sucks about the damage to the roof! Looks like it's going to need massaging with a hammer to get a full door to fit again![thumbdown :thumbdown:](./images/smilies/thumbsdown.gif)

Not sure where I came, wasn't really competitive as I was just getting a feel for it, plus had a fuel leak at the start which put me back and hour.
I won't bother repairing the roof, I don't mind dents, it's the rot I couldn't deal with when I restored it. Dents are fine rust is bad.
Rear winch I need to get in before the next one and test it, lots of situations where I needed one.
One point I could have done with a centre winch !!

Dents are just proof that you are a man of adventure, and not some pussyfooted Landy owner who whines when he scratches his "90"...
