What you see is with 35s so I reckon that 42s could fit and look like things were before the 'operation'

Just cant afford 'em at the mo. Reckon 39.5 or 38.5 or round that mark is what I'm shooting for...... unless I get to score a killer deal :icon_super:

looks real nice m8, my only concern would be the number plate, have you considered an stick on numberplate on the bumper lass likely to snap, don't know if you have a Motorman Store near you but since they made it illeagle to sell stick on plate they have started a nice line of stick on signs that look just like numberplates  :eusa_whistle:

I think it's the Bish who came up with a good solution. Spring tool clips bolted to the back of the plate, clipped onto the fairlead. Just unclip for 'froadin and clip back on for road miles  :icon_winkle:

Thanks for that guys.... glass of wine and google mode and found '3M super dual lock'....4 times stronger than Velcro but £80 for a roll .... but never mind cos there's e-bay and you can buy it for about a £5 for half a metre..... says it withstands 5000 on and offs.... got some coming by post tomorrow. :icon_super:

Looking cool mate, I see you are running the mx6 pro comp shocks. I need to get some new shocks for mine and seeing as we dont have the wide variety easy to get over here was looking at those, whats you opinion of them?

brilliant shocks mate. had RE doetsch tech something or other before and they gave a hard ride......
You need to have eye to eye bracket or adapter tho.

They come in a number of flavours

3 length settings and 3 strengths firm med and soft and they adjust 6 clicks....

I got the longest (well one would wouldn't one :icon_biggrin:) and the softest option (no comment)

I run them at the softest with no sway bar and compared to how it was it floats over the bumps.....

Best comparison is the front over a speed bump is floaty and the rear crashes over 'cos I haven't done that end yet.

let me know if you want me to dig out the part no and length specs for you....
