Standard as the castor is corrected in the arm itself.
Think genuine were about 160 each but a set of 4 nolathene was about 200

Looks good ... but ....

I am guessing there are no plans to take this truck swimming in it's future ??

Or is that why the port in the sub is at the bottom ?? to let the water out :lol: :lol:

Is that the amp bolted on the side of the seat frame ??

I find that stuff gets wet there even in heavy rain when you get in and out :? :?

Entirely agree with the above - thats a nice kit you have there, but's it's very vunerable to any water ingress ... which WILL happen when you least you expect it.

Man, nice build, takes a heap of $$$ and patience for sure. Part way through mine right now, here is a link to LRO.com in the USA of my build/upgrade http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f9 ... ind-35777/ Some nice trucks over that part of the world too. Did you get rid of the wheels too or did you sell the whole set up :)

Seems Landroveronly has had a fresh start and deleted all threads old & new, ah well...... (update, its back on lol)

Hy, just a wee question, just how much interest did you get ie guys calling etc. I have just been offered a 110 Country so may have to fire sale the Discovery off (always wanted a 110 5 door) mines a 98 fully kitted out too but would only sell it off if the market was ready for such a beast lol

I had it on Trade Me from Day one! sept 2007.
Not one tire kicker.
A few cocks who thought it to expensive & felt the need to tell me! :evil:

But I believed if you could not do the stuff your self it would cost more to have it built to order!

Unfortunately in this hobby most can.

Hey, cheers for that, may pop it on Trademe in the next day or so, most have seen it but not in the "its for sale" category, will price it about the $13k mark as it has a new engine too, cheers for the heads up ;) Craig.

However the original vehicle in this thread was for sale last year in South Island. Had some sort of engine problem from memory.
