[Dan White]

Devon 4x4 Jon. The Koni/OME mix is what seems to be the choice for guys building trucks to go down to Cape Town or across Russia and back so I reckon they'll be man enough!

Mine aren't huge, only 230lbf/in front and 300 rear. Which lifts the back by about 2 inches when empty but should ride level and handle better with the tent, water tank and kit etc if I've done my sums right. The old ****part supergaz rears were the nasty stiff HDs which had her up by an inch when loaded and rattled about when empty.

 

The Koni's are £££ mind, I chose them over the possibly more comfortable OMEs as they're reputed to withstand more.

sold my 110 hardtop last week and it did me well for ten years. no major repairs and never let me down in 80k miles. Only let it go because I hadn't used it since 2009

 

You could read your comment as only did you well for 10 years because you hadn't used it for 5!!:thumbup:

Yes. To clarify; I bought a 1990 ex mod ragtop V8 110 in July 1998, put a hardtop on and ran it till 2009 when I stopped working for a living but I kept it sorned with a new MOT every year until I sold it last weekend. It had 80,000km on the clock when I got it and sold it with 165,000, it needed no major mechanical work in the whole time I used it but I did have to replace a couple of outriggers.

Good call on the Koni's - I've had the standard heavy tracks last nearly 80,000 miles and I'm pretty sure they would have lasted longer but the garage reckond they were ready for replacement, despite it not handling any better once replaced

done it! almost ready to rock n roll. Done a couple of jobs where the weights pulled were too big for the van. This will take the pressure off all of us:thumbup:
