These are pics of my work truck. Its had a 2 inch lift kit put on all round. The engine instead of kicking out around 143bhp is now on 192 bhp so it is able to tow heavier loads. Just had a new set of boots n brake pads and it had just done over 42,000 miles. The first pic is of it in the council yard where we are based in Feb 2010. The second pic is of it after it spring clean. The third pic is of it in Oct 2010 after almost getting stuck on a hillfort access track. The fourth pic is of it relatively clean in Nov 2010 when we were doin flooding checks on a new section of trailway. 8 months before that pic was taken it was a boggy mess at the bottom. The fifth pic is of it at another hill fort taken in Dec 2010. The tyres on it are now Cooper Discoverer ST-C. Even they couldn't handle the thawing chalk clay mix soil. We got out but only because we needed to get towed out by the farm manager.
