My terrano and xtrail

GregT · 03-10-2019, 09:51

Hi guys,

Just paid up for another year. Was contemplating selling my terrano at the beginning of the summer, but every time I drive it I just cant. Tows the best out off all the vehicles I've used aswell. MOT due soon, fingers crossed.

Also picked up this Xtrail for £200 at the end of July. MOT until Feb. Really nice car. And I have to say it goes of road really well.
Drove it up to the adventure overland show at the weekend and it's just a nice drive. I love my Terry but it is abit of a tractor.

Ground clearance is an issue though. I had to turn around on one lane.

Another angle. It was really wet and on standard road tires. I thought I might have to get a few of the landys about to give me a tow but it ate it up.

Another one in the Terry late June.
I had to get out and have a look and was quite disapointed. Inside it felt like I was about to tip over

Hi Rick, Both those where in wales. Treecastle I think.

No decent ones around us that I know off.

Just suspension? Body? Or both

Was planning on suspension lift as I don't fancy cutting my bumper and raising it.

Decision has been made abit more complected as my near side rear shock has snapped, seems a shame to get a new one only to get a lift kit in a few months. Been around the local scrappy's and no luck. oh well. The xtrail has had to start towing stuff around and it doesn't do to bad a job. The trailers seem to rattle around more but it pulls fine.

Added some rock sliders..

Got some spring spacer on the way to. Cant afford a full kit yet. Soon

Now got a 2 inch lift and an old set of 31's

If I go any higher my dogs will need a ramp. My collie is ok but my spaniel needs a boost

Finally got a drawer system. Not what I had planned but it was free. Had to do a little trimming to make it open all the way.

GregT · 26-02-2020, 09:28

And open. Its huge!

That is excellent!!!!!! I'll be keeping my eyes open for one of those on eBay from now on.

How do you think it would fare with weight on top when empty?
