It's a Mini Monster Truck!!

[laser_jock99]

Lifts, modifications etc. completed, big 33" MT tyres now fitted too!

Here's a list of mods I've done so far:

1) 2" Pro Comp Explorer suspension lift (ES3000 shocks, 27mm torsion bars, 2" longer rear coils).
2) 2" 4Crawler rear coil spring spacers
3) Extended braided, stainless steel rear axle brake line.
4) 2" body lift with 40% stronger stainless steel mounting bolts & UHMW body lift blocks (made locally!).
5) 2" bumper lift brackets & 2" radiator drop brackets fitted.
6) Steering column extended and firewall steering column hole enlarged.
7) 33" x 15 x 12.5 General Grabber Mud Terrain tyres fitted including spare.
8) Extended panhard rod bracket fitted.
8) Set of MUD CLUB stickers added!

Fairly pleased with how it handles on-road even though it's now 7" higher than stock (it's about as wallowy as a standard Discovery now!). First offroad trials coming up this weekend.

Was the body lift hard?

Not too difficult really. Just a case of loosening the 10 body-to-chassis mounting bolts all round. Then remove the 5 bolts from one side. Jack the body up on that side just enough to insert the spacer blocks. Fit longer bolts and part tighten. Repeat process for other side and torque up all round!

Things to be aware of are anything which is conected to both body and chassis. In the case of the Surf handbrake lines, fuel filler pipe, battery earth lead. The bumper needed lowering 2" as did the radiator (to line up with engine fan again). Other things done were lengthen the steering column a tad and enlarge the hole where it goes through the fire wall.

About a day's work all in.
