What do you take off road?

What 4x4s do people have then?
What modifications?
What do you like doing in them? Greenlaning, play days? Or do you drive them for work?

Introduce your P&Js here!

I've got a '96 Discovery V8. With a few mods. Pics up in a bit....

Mainly used for green laning so far, although March beckons with a P&P day with some of you guys!

Mine, currently sulking...

Stock, except removal of excess shiny bits and addition of new rims and A/Ts

Signia where did you get your wheel cover from? Or is it a plain wheelcover with a vinyl logo?

Yep, that's all it is. PH don't do wheel covers in the PH Shop unfortunately! Just got the biggest size they did and a cheap glossy black wheel cover.

There are a few Pistonheads.com and Speed Matters logos on the side too which you can't quite see from those pics.

Mine is an S reg 3.0 V6 LWB Shogun.

Currently completely standard other than BFG A/Ts. I am just looking into what might be sensible in terms of mods, bearing in mind it is also the main family transport now that we have a 3rd sprog due in a couple of weeks, so I'm setting about saving up the thousands needed to supercharge Kermit!

Hi,

Spent the whole of my youth offroading. Still have a 90, a couple of old range rovers, a p38a and a disco.

absolutely

Yellow - just curious as I'm thinking of lift / wheel size increase myself when cash flow allows. What do you have on there? Looks lifted and obviously bigger wheels. Saw you cut the rear fender, but did you make any mods at the front end or the sills to get the wheels to fit?

Also - what did you do about the overread on the speedo as a result?

[100SRV]

What 4x4s do people have then?
A 100" Bowler, I built it in 1998. Unusual because it is a 100" wheelbase with doors and full canvas.

What modifications?
Powertrain is 10" further back than stock Range Rover position, the engine is a 3.9 v8 on SU carburetters. Suspension has Fox 12" dampers but is otherwise stock linkage (lower rate coils though). Other than that it's pretty standard Bowler spec.

What do you like doing in them? Greenlaning, play days? Or do you drive them for work?
I use it for green laning and occasionally commute in it.

Currently got this little Vitara:





Not really got many pictures of it, but it's done everything we've asked of it so far.

Mods:
Bits4Vits suspension lift
Rock Sliders
31" tyres
Diff Guard
Grand Vitara Front Diff

Usually go to Pay and Play days, but did quite a bit of greenlaning last summer and if I ever get round to getting the front diff seals changed (anyone got any suggestions?) we'll be back at Woodlands and Bures embarassing the bigger machinery

I've only got one vehicle - it has to get me 25 miles to work and back, reliably, every day (including the offroad sections!). Cart the family round in comfort at weekends, tow the boat, shift logs etc. etc. My (slighly modified) car is therefore a Toyota Hilux. Mods so far- 2" suspension lift, 2" body lift, 33" tyres, 2" rear coil spring spacers, custom stainless offroading exhaust.

Isn't that a surf?

[Landy Andy]

Standard 1998 Freelander Xedi- surprisingly good in the rough stuff (you need to see it to believe it)



Standard 2002 Discovery Adventurer LE, picking it up on Sunday. Think it's going to be too shiny to take off road yet.



Looking forward to being laughed at

When I picked up the Shogun, the guy was really apologetic about the fact that he'd not had time to get it cleaned since it came back from having the cam belt changed. This despite the fact that the thing was absolutely spotless!

All the mud and the branch scratches are purely my own work of the last 10 days. I very much doubt it had ever been off road in the 9 years and 144,000 miles it had existed before I got it!

By the way, there is no such thing as "too shiny".

I presume yours being a Shogun (ie TRUE UK model) that it is in miles and NOT kilometers? Mine has had the speedo dial converted to mph but the odometer still reads kilometers and therefor the car has only covered 80,000.

Disco II Mk3 TD5 7-Seat

Spends most of it's life green laning in Wales, lugging crap around and crossing flooded fields!

A picture of it just after being cleaned - which is a rare sight as it's normally an off brown colour...
