Link to my ex-4x4 off road rigs in offroad.com

Thought that you folks might like to see my link in the website of www.offroad.com

They are:

www.off-road.com/vw/features/trooper/trooper.html

www.off-road.com/4x4web/features/nov96/nov96.html

There's some write up about my rigs with specifications etc...........

I totally forgot all about it.

I still do at times get email from folks all over the world who have seen my link in www.off-road.com and want to know more about my rigs like my custom snorkel on my Troopy which was actually for the Land Rover Discovery 300 Tdi or Disco as we call it.

Things like my TLC (Toyota Land Cruiser II not Tender Loving Care) diff gears which were 4.875 on the front and rear axles instead of the standard 4.300. You need to lower your gearing to compensate for bigger tyres in order to equalize the power curve or thereabout. The standard tyres on the TLC were 29". I put in monster 35" Silverstone MT 117 on them. These tyres are pure off road tyres. I later switched over to BF (not porno blue film) Goodrich Radial Mud Terrain T/A tri guard sidewall tyres. They were no match for the Silverstone MT117's for mud shedding.

Cheers mates and I'm off for a late lunch.

73's all round..................
