Hi everyone , I left the tow bar on mine for off roading as it protects the fuel tank.

agreed, tow bar can be a more positive. You only really need to remove it for really for major green lanes/off roading, where your car will be tilted back a silly angle!

Hmmm. I met a issue with this today..I decieded i would drive up the embankment of the river... (There is a steep track up too the top)... Just going up and clunk grind and was a little stuck i think the tow bar had hit the deck and lifted the rear wheels.. Doh!!.

Is a kid and partner allowed on these off road day things you spoke of earlier ?

Does the paid for forum section contain how to change filters and the like ?

Hi SS, yes wives and children more than welcome. After all its your truck, you can put in it who you want to.
Congrats on buying a proper 4x4 and not a Landrover. you will be happy to know that the engines on them are almost bullet proof and good for over 200,000 miles. They also run on pure cooking oil, i run mine on it. (Although tomorrow it will be on diesel as i ran out).
Body work wise, you find more problems when your modding them as you dont look in the right places untill then. I have more rot than you can poke a stick at, but i gives me something to weld at the weekends.
I just stuck a 2" lift on mine for this weekend meet and had a battle to get it ready, but as i said, it all adds to the fun.
And before i forget, Welcome to the club.

No worries it is a bit short notice

Further event are usually planned with about four weeks notice and usually appear in the area part of the forum in line with which area the event is in
Sorry to say but u will need to be a full paid member to reply on the thread I think aswell as any pm's

I don't know off any other clubs up ur way but is two members that travel form ur way into peaks as plenty of lanes to make a day of it

Just check with who is organising the event that it is ok for a standard truck and they have actually recently driven the lanes as conditions change over 6 mths

Enjoy ur truck and enjoy the site
