Not a straight panel left, I like it!!!!

I did an off roading course many years ago and matey asked if I was prepared to use the bodywork to get through tight area's.... think we all know the answer to that...

I have now had to start adding dents on top of previous ones haha...

You wouldn't believe how much that would fetch over here....farmers would be reaching for tissues if they they saw that!!!

Seems that's been the case for a few years Bazz.

Bumped into some Lard rover people about 4 years ago and they were buying Range Rovers and Discos and driving them out to your part of the world to triple their money.

Don't know how re- reg and the fact it's RHD would affect things but ......that's the story they gave me???

Utility type vehicles of this size are very thin on the ground here Jez...4wd versions are gobbled up before they hit the ground!
You might see the odd Hilux or Izuzu, but the most common is a Niva which has had the angle grinder treatment and a wooden tray stuck in the back!!

If you catch the licence guys in a good mood (or your 'gift' is big enough), having them registered here is no problem.

Not difficult or expensive to do, surprised no one is doing these mods if demand is there?

Hi Bazz
Is there any mileage in tricking a few up and shipping them over for some Wonga young man

Latest mods, snapped the chassis by the steering box; well the steering box was holding the chassis together and then the bolts snapped...

So thick angle over the area, then the same on the other leg and braced with box and 45 degree cut lengths to make it all strong and firm again...

Managed another first place on Sunday, best result ever with 1000 points and five filled cards....

Meanwhile the rear continues to pick up (see what I did there, haha) dents...

Now fitted STT pro's and we tested them at the weekend... Very pleased, excellent road manners and not noisy, very good off road, a good test was pulling away on a side slope whilst towing a broken down truck up hill across grass, tyres held nicely and no wheel spin. During the day various other surfaces and the previous evening...

Got some more trophies, 1st for the punch hunt... 3rd for the night stage; two high speed runs around the farm/quarry/woods and a waffle board challenge, excellent result since no classes and we where up against the 'big boys' trucks...

Well, we did it, First place for the 12 month series, managed 9 out of 11 first places, a lot of hard work, time and effort. Jeep has taken a fair bit of punishment; now down to just two bits of glass from the original ten... Seen lots of great new sites in Cornwall and looking forward to next season although we wont be doing as many events and getting back to laning, which we have been doing again recently.

Most of this should buff out?

Shelf proper full, lots of pulling it out of the bag and teamwork to get this lot...

More work on the Steering box issues....

Had a bracket made up for the steering box using spacers at 11mm and a piece of 6mm steel, used the crappy alloy bracket as a template, steering box threads have been drilled and re tapped to 12mm thread so that heavy duty bolts can be used and easier to source from the local parts supplier.

Replaced N/S ball joints and O/S track rod end... as ever all last minute.com for the event on Sunday.

Yeah snapped that with our bare hands, also the plate will spread the strain on the inner chassis rail rather than have three points...

More works, new bushes made locally from PU as the old ones where destroyed after 2000 miles... super tough now...

Cut the damaged sill out and fit 80mm box (6mm thick) so that hi lift can jack up and avoid rock damage without making the Jeep wider or lower...

Finally got around to tidying the front of the Cherokee, used the front end of a mk1 that I bought for spares....

Before....

After....

Much smarter, didn't bother with the surrounds as they stuck out further than the bashed in wings....

Wonder how long it will all last lol!

Green Jeep · « **Reply #45 on:** November 16, 2016, 05:29:45 PM »

Erm new front end didn't last very long.... still another first, Jeep did well and we got onto our fifth punch card.... happy days

Like the flex, Cherokee sitting nice.

Gaffer taped the lights back on for the return home, will take them off at the start of the next event

Competed again last weekend and another first, worked hard as the site was tough and lots of tree stumps as the power company had napalmed a massive strip either side of the power lines, used a mattock and axe to stop the waffles slipping down a side slope, love coming up with new idea's! Really pleased with the STT Pro's, imho the best tyre for on road and amazing off road, run them at 10psi.

Cheeky vid....
