Use a stolly instead.
As I suspected I was right about everything.

Thats a weighty thing even in a range rover. This two-stroke intrigued me, wonder if any survived.

Yes. I saw one at the Glamis Transport Extravaganza a few years ago. I'll have a pic somewhere.

Six in shot, one behind me, one on the drive and another two incoming this week. Not to mention the actual runners (that's another three). Do I own Land-Rovers or do Land-Rovers own me?

Here we go. Never seen a 1-Ton in the flesh before, fuck me it's a big bastard.

Upon arrival.

Image

Big bastard rims.

Image

Big bastard engine.

Image

Big bastard diffs.

Image

Big bastard mounts.

Home and dry. I plan to keep all the running gear as is but on further reflection think I am going to bin the Perkins off, I just ain't a diesel man.

Looks like the Perkins 4203 and the ENV diff.
Wheel rims look like the real McCoy as well! A view of the inside of the rim will confirm.
Wearing bar grips (bar slips) I had some with studs. There not the best!

Did these have power steering as standard when upgraded?

When you say 'power steering', do you mean blowing the front tyres up rock hard?

Drum's 'addict' picture above really needs some hi-viz and a Tilley hat.
