Piccadilly Wood today

Had a great day out today, loads of mud and water, sorry not many pics but give you an idea this is our first pull of the day, one of the problems was sliding into the NS tree, so winch called for

Second pull of the day, boy is that steep

Looking back down after, we had many more winch episodes but enjoying far to much for pics although Marie took pics and vid on her phone so will be in touch for copies, Rick

How did you get on with your new springs and Lokka setup?

I was hoping there were going to be more pics and a review too :nenau

That was the problem. The photo opportunities come when you're stuck and wondering what to do. Now there's a lokka he's bouncing around in the drivers seat from when he leaves home to when he's opening the scotch bottle :lol

OK OK, I did go to enjoy and that is what we did, taking pics was secondary, however as said Marie and Dan took pics and vids on their phones so when I get copies of those I will be back, the combination of the front Lokka and lockable rear diff make it a very capable motor, still get stopped on high centre ridges (bigger wheels only cure for that) on the down side steering on the flat (slippery mud) can become a problem and if on a slope sideways travel can be fun, when in ruts as is often the case then it just keeps going, we found some steep smooth slippery hill climbs that demanded the winch and just deploying the rope to the top was a real struggle, only thing I noticed about the springs on the front was a softer ride as it is not now on the bump rubbers, but body ground/wheel clearance has to be better, so a set for the rear will be next, but probably not before Xmas, Rick
