I don't think a D1 is an option for sleeping in, I'm not tall and would really struggle to sleep in mine. A d2 with its 10" longer internal space would be far better

I may have misunderstood, I thought the OP already had synthetic line. I wouldn't bother with steel line for an extension, just junk it and buy another synthetic.

Indeed,my mate modded his 80 and 70 series by changing the wiring so he can do this. I'm not sure but I think it involved isolating the part of the switch that required 4L to be selected. It wasn't hard and didn't take long to do

That's really good, I just chucked the bars on but you have given it a lot of thought and really improved the idea. I like the channel nuts and the tapered ends. I actually keep one with the bars on and one without, as often I need either one set up or the other but rarely both at once.

My cheap Chinese winch has cheap Chinese synthetic winch line and it's been fine for 5 years. There would be no problem I terms of functionality, I guess you are wondering if I will physically fit, I would have thought it would be OK. I have a 75 foot new synthetic winch line with a hook on...

My 48" won't get my disco axles off the ground with 32" tyres and 3" lift. Only way to lift the axles is with one of those strap things you hook into the wheel, or the standard bottle jack. If you really feel the need to carry a hi lift get the 60.

Good for them.

You are correct there, there is a tolerance in the drivetrain to allow for a 3% variance in tyre diameter bother forward/ aft and across the axles, this is to allow for production variance within the tyre (manufactured tyres are rarely the same diameter as each other) and to allow for different...

I don't know to be honest, you may be best emailing David Ashcroft direct. He is very willing to answer queries.

I'm sure it will be fine

I agree with not doing much other than maintenance, so I would change the oils, belts and the wheel bearings and that's about it, because you cannot predict when may or may not break other then the bit that breaks will be the bit you don't have. Maybe do the Prop UJs aswell. You will never (I...
