i would say to fit 33s on you need a 2inch body lift
and 2inch susspention lift at least unless you cut the arches
31s fit standard you just need to remove the mudflaps and wind torsion bar up

How was that after bein tipped?

What size spacers n what best make prob 31's i'm getting

[762buzz]

how on earth did u end up wrong way up on that hole

looks drastic just to check for rust lol

[firebobby]

Your just showing off now, were you trying to get those land rover driver jealous...look what my Nissan can do :naughty:naughty

[makeitfit]

Quality parking there mate used to check my under-carriage that way too :lol
33s will fit with EITHER a 2" susp lift OR body lift. Much easier with both though as it's easier on wheel choice. 2" suspension lift and good offset wheels and 33s fit if no mud flaps and plastic bumper etc :thumb2
Loving the bumper work, top job, but have you done much road work with it, as I'd say it's choked the air flow a bit.
Keep it up ;)

[Kamsin]

Jay did you have any luck finding the teplates for your bumper bar?

If not, any chance i can pop over and see it to size it up

I've never seen a maverick in that colour blue before

sorry mate i must have threw it when i had a clear out what measurements are you wanting i can measure it for you if you like :thumb2

[jayjay1990]

right im starting my rear winch bumper but im not sure wheather to cut out this cross member and replace it with so 100x50 x 10mm angle iron to lose a qouple of inches of overhang has anyone made a rear winch bumper if so any pics :thumb2

[makeitfit]

Erm, I did :D
I did a thread too, search away boyo :thumbs
However you can't cut that out and put angle in there without having the truck SVA tested :eek: Stupid money, and also Mr Insurance Co wont like it :o

ahh ok where have you housed your winch matey

[makeitfit]

Well it's not housed yet :augie Work in progress :lol but it's going to live inbetween the rear springs below floor level. Mine's stripped out and box under construction. It sits on 6mm folded steel shelf welded to both spring top hangers. New tank being welded with a tunnel in it for the line to go through.
You can mount the winch demountable on the bumper though.
Are you winch challenging or just keen to recover backwards :D

[jayjay1990]

well im making a full new bumper and i like my winches out of the way and im to lazy to keep mounting it lol
and the reason for rear winch well i dont really have one lol
i just like fabricating and i have a winch sat in my garage. as for chalenges yes i do plan on doing some punch chalenges when its done

[makeitfit]

Well then inboard is the only option over sticking out :rolleyes:
You could mount it on the inside floor if you dont need the space :augie nice big steel base and a couple of fairleads to redirect the line.

[jayjay1990]

can anyone help me my terrano has the usual stutter at low down revs its never really bothered me but i would like to sort it before it gets worse ive had a look for the micro filter but it wasnt there ive had the same problem on all my terranos but never really tried to solve it

any ideas anyone

[762buzz]

Kamsin has same problem with his he tried blanking off his egr valve but still no better
Might be worth asking what else he has already tried

[jayjay1990]

ive just bought some nice big insa special tracks that measure 34inch just wondering if i should put bearings in before i put them on for piece of mind

[makeitfit]

So far so good :D and I was running 33s before these 35s :thumbs Sames bearings that came with the truck and 180000 miles done :clap

[jayjay1990]

Heres a little up date on my rear winch bumper
The winch is already housed inside on a winch Plate then this 3mm outer steel pressing gose over it all.
Just need to make the ends up and cut fairlead hole

[makeitfit]

Looking good mate :thumb2 Are you using plasma rope? If not then you'll need another hole to see how the wire cable is feeding onto the drum. Oh and one for the clutch lever I guess.:)

[jayjay1990]

Yes it's going on plasma rope and the free spool lever is going to be through the top of the bumper but it's got to be shortened as the rear door hits it at the moment

[stinka]

looks SWEEEET :D needs a snorkel tho ;)

[jayjay1990]

All in good time I'm not made of money I want a proper snorkel but they are so expensive anybody on here no where I can get one reasonably cheap ?

mrs said she saw some trucks as she drove past holymoorside guess she not going blind then lol

see the rear bumper is all finished

[jayjay1990]

No rear bumper is far from finished lol got both ends to return round to the arches and fairleD hole to cut out lights to put in
And a few more bits and bobs
But I won't be getting that done just yet my truck took a battering at the event and needs allot of repairs it was really hard going on there even my mates stupidly modded landcruiser with full lockers and 37 inch Tyres was struggling but it should be done for next months event at biggin quarry and I should have a working rear winch

[Fez_uk]

the bumpers looking good

[jayjay1990]

the bumpers looking good

It's getting there but will be better when it's done I shall be having both bumpers powder coated at some point but I'm planning on making some sliders aswell so mint as well have them all done at same time to make it cheaper also got my diff guard And a few other bits to have done to

[Kamsin]

the one listed as a terrano is not the proper one, don't think it's a straight fit.

Its not, iv got one. Only the main part that fits the wing is any good. You have to change the air box round as well as it fits into the rear of it not the front. Not done mine yet or i would have posted pics.

Im as amazed as you are mateI'm still on the original steering too well the one that came on the truck and no play what so ever I keep jacking it up to check but it's fine my tires measure just over 34" too but I know it's got to go soon

Ok the drag link mod and two steering arms welded up and painted £125
Power steering box supplied and cut up to suit LHS fitting about £75(depends on how cheap I can source the box ), Four machined spacers to stand the box off LHS chassis rail £30, four extra long bolts and nylocks £5, carriage £15
That's a set up using your existing track rods, but this will get rid of ball joint slop and is megga strong :D
I need your old steering arm and drag link back in exchange :thumbs

I'm wanting to get rid of my terrano just wondering whether I'd be better off striping it and selling it in bits if so what is stuff worth and is there a Market for engines and parts

Or am I better just selling it complete

I would be keeping my tyres and winches either way but the rest would be going it has lots of good parts bumpers lift ect ect

some people may be put off with a offroader, suggests being abused and a tough life.

how come you are selling it?

[jayjay1990]

Just getting a bit bord with it I want something with live axles and no don't worry it won't have a LR badge on the new one
So you think I'm better Breaking it ???

[Fez_uk]

I am not worried, i just bought a defender.

I was just saying that some people may be put off, i'd try and sell it as one before and see how that goes.

Jay, where did you get the D22 snorkel from?
I had a look at the site from the link earlier and they are 99 euros, that seems very cheap....

[jayjay1990]

eBay mate there's a seller on there selling them for £129 and believe me they are really good quality and they fit terranos pretty good too just abit of messing about with the airbox Welding a pipe in and welding the old inlet up

[ste68blue]

Thanks for the reply.

Does this look like the one?

I do like the idea of the one that comes out through the top corner of the wing and not sticking out along the wing, but the one above isn't too bad because it is quite flat

[jayjay1990]

That's not fm the seller I got it from but yes it's the same snorkel as mine I just binned all the pipework and got my own for whT I needed

[jayjay1990]

whats the parts that sell of terranos mainly as if it dosnt sell im breaking it and just wondering what to remove before weighing it in ?????
