Ben,

Nice pictures and great to have you here.

Quick question: most guys fit a raised suspension but you added a raised roofrack Can I ask you why ?

yes

it is only on temporary,

i was given a roof rack from a friend (it was free i wasnt going to complain), that was from a high top long wheel base Ford transit Van so it was a bit big, i will some time chop it down so it is closer to the roof line, as it whistles when i get up to 60 / 70 MPH and it vibrates severly when i get up to 85/90/100 MPH

[ben_haynes]

90% of all landrovers are still on the road including vehicles made in 1949, more than i can say about toyota,

Yeah, the Toyotas made it home, the Landies are still broken down on the way to wherever.

Series 3 on steroids

[BenHur]

That is because the Toyotas reached home already and is not standing somewhere next to the road broken and polluting nature by leaking oil

I know a guy who drives oh sorry I mean owns one just yours but it is also always still on- or actually next to the road somewhere.

that is a mean looking truck, do you have bump stops on it?? as it looks like you have to much upward travel, thus the reason why you have crushed your wing

[Niel]

Welcome to the forum and enjoy it here :D

[blom]

No ben
zero bumpstops (I don't really worry about the boddy, I do stop the left front just before it hits the sump)
then the front is "strapped" for less droop as I am not running a locker in the front
in the rear I use all off a 17" shock
front ass well but the droop is strapped at aprox 70%
