Terrano 2 LWB

[nejones]

Am I right in thinking that the wheelbase of the LWB Terrano 2 is 104"?

I need to know before I apply for a Gatescarth pass.

Don't think you'll do it in the LWB T2 pal!!That's if you're allowed on it!! :wink:
I could be wrong though!! HB your man to ask!!

Can't remember what the wheel base of a LWB is but its over 100" so too long to get a pass for gatescarth pass, can't be many passes left for this year, my group has all the remaining ones for the september date.

just had a look at the paper manual and it states it as being 104".3 (2,650)

Thanks Mav.

I was thinking of a permit for next year. Might have to do it in my bro's disco instead

If it's a S1 disco you'll be fine as they are 100" IIRC but a S2 Disco is longer 105" IIRC :roll:
I'm hoping I'll have enough mods on my T2 by next year to be able to do this lane before they close it for good which I have read is going to sadly happen in time

guys, 100" is max.

i know cos pal, former member and rowo cameraman
got his series 1 modded disco over, just, in company of lr 90s.

i believe you need a lift and various other goodies
but axle lockers are frowned upon by park authorities.

believe there is a lit of banned motor under the 100"
cut off including rav4s!

I'll let you know in september how a T2/Mav fairs, I'm going so are Bigbluemaverick and Dadba. TBH from what I've heard a lift LWB T2 on muds ould make it as a LWB T2 can easily out turn a Disco and thats what the 100" wheelbase limit is about, unfortunately it was imosed based on landrover turning circles.

Sweety - pretty sure Disco 2 is 100" too, hope so anyway, Neil's down to come too. Disco 3 is 113" however.

quick google bring s2 disco at 2540mm or 100inch

so extra length for forward facing 3rd row seats is
by increased overhang?

anyway thats enough bad language for one post :lol:

Hi HB I've just checked the wright up about this lane in 4X4 Mag as they did the lane a few months back & it states the Disco S1 is 100" & can be driven on the lane but the Disco S2(TD5's) late 1999 but def 2000 on is over 100" & is'nt alowed on & they are checking vehicles at the start, on route etc

According to CM you fill in a form stating
intending vehicle and mods.

Sounds like such a good route be worth
walking or cycling if your truck doesnt fit
the bill.

Having recently filled in 3 of these forms they ask for name of driver, registration and wheelbase - thats it. Don't even ask for vehicle type - I assume they get that from DVLA.
