My 300Tdi 90
Just registered for the forum although I've been viewing this excellent website/forum for a few years. Owned a shed load of landies from a V8 90 to a 130 double cab, but I've settled on this now: )
This is my 300Tdi 90, being prepared for a stab at the Pan Americas in 2013. Not too exotic compared to a lot of UK challenge trucks but she's not really built for extreme offroading.
Things still to do:
Fit second rear mounted fuel tank (Td5), this is currently in the spare room of the flat I share with my (understanding) girlfriend!
Upgrade rear springs to extra heavy duty- I'm basically at max kerb weight when loaded.
Swap Mach 5 rims for Wolfs. The rims are great but not really overland material and they can somtimes allow mud to drive the bead off the rim and leak air slowly.
Swap 8274 for something smaller/less obtrusive. Probably next weekend in fact, want something with a big drum so I can keep the 125ft of 11mm synthetic rope I've currently got.
Anywho, here's some shots from various off roading/green laning/ trips I've done over the last few years:
Cheers,
James

Nice. I can't remember the site/forum this is set up by. I am in olympia and looking for some trails.
How effective to he blackout out decal for the bonnet?

Not my XD in the picture (obviously) but the bonnet blackout is damn near a must have if you're running roof rack lights. I've got 4 Black Magic (Hella 1k size, 50w bulbs at present) and two different hoods:
The non-blackout hood which doesn't have the hood pins nor vents but does have the heat shield/noise dampening blanket (so I trade them back and forth depending on what I have going on) has considerably more glare when using the lights. I'd say even during the day with a good sun there you will notice the difference from a glossy hood; i.e. eye fatigue.
The decals scare me just b/c I can't see how I wouldn't mess that up going on, so I just tape and use paint.

I actually used SEM bumper paint (fairly flat but different texture than just rattle can flat). Took the hood off (mark the position of the brackets!), taped off the area not to be painted, roughed up the area that was and went at it. Some people have the magic with vinyl decals, I'm just not one of them.
My 90 ....
Love that pic! I wish we could buy them new here in the States.
