More than a transit m8

 

:laugh1::laugh1:

 

Recently I finally got round to replacing the ply greedy boards with ali. It took me ages to find a second hand set of lorry sides to adapt with the correct 3" planking, as i didnt want new which would have looked a tad odd on top of the bottom half! I reckon it was worth the wait though. :biggrin:

here is my landy as it is for the moment. thinking of selling and getting a 110 or 130 tipper..... unsure about it though.

 

i have had it for about a year, x reg td5. plenty of bits bolted on and decat and straight through middle pipe makes it sound like a monster :biggrin:

Best idea yet- get a proper landy:lol:

 

haha, its all money though, the baby landie has done what i want it to do for the past year. and its a bit of fun aswell, wouldnt want to take a 130 tipper green laning, might scratch it.

LOL- laning shmaning- get it scratched and dented itll look like a workhorse then!!

heres my landy on the one foray into off roading....never again. I went with a bent trackrod, and it just got worse from therein. It ended up costing me about £700 in repairs to the front axle and new winch wire....

In the pic of it in the water, I draged muself further, and it went right over the bonnet, the track rod got bent further and jammed the wheels against the chassis wrecking cv joints and what have you:thumbdown::thumbdown: Annd on top of all that, it wasnt that exciting either!!
