    All breathers have been extended to the bulkhead and I now have the bits to join them together and take one breather up the snorkel

    Did my first bit of proper offroading last night A member of a local LR club has a farm and has built his own course on it not very big but quite hard work. Got a bit stuck a few times but managed to get out of it each time

    Was good fun

    Discovered though the 'plough' on the back has to go

    Looks like a hell of alot of fun to be had there Mark,

    I'm very jealous, always wanted and Landy to do a bit of green laning thumbs:

    Looks the business too with a few fairly easy mods

    Its cheaper than trackdays

    Already have the tyres, not a fan of kinetic ropes so have strops but a winch is on the list

    NEVER join 2 straps with a Shackle though

    Coz this can happen






    I was sitting in the back and the shackle graized my head. If i was sitting a few inches to my right i would have got it full in the face (i was looking out the back window)

    Saw a kinetic rope do that two weeks ago and put a HOLE in the rear chassis of a Range Rover

    Also know a man who saw a whole NATO hitch go through a back window, seat, chest and windscreen. Obv it didnt end nicely

    Time for some more pics

    Difference between standard cat pipe and decat




    Wheels turned up and were a rather boring silver so I spiced them up a bit



    What they look like on





    Close up so you can just see the steering guard




    Got a few stickers as well (a few more need to go on but I am waiting for some others first).

    Looking good Mark - how many slogan based stickers are you going to put on it?

    I had a similar tow-bar on my Defender and it just used to act like a mud anchor.....

    Lol, I used to compete in winch challenges nationally (okay twice) and I never once wanted or needed a chainsaw. But +2 on the winches, and dont forget uprated axle internals/new axles, long travel suspension, bead lockers, roll cage/tube wings/spaceframe etc if you want to get spendy

    You are missing a 'One Life - Live It' sticker Mark. They seem to be compulsory

    I seem to have acquired a Series 3 SWB landy over the weekend. Ooops

    Good choice of wheel paint. It won't show the mud so much. Result!! Wash less
