A few pics so far...

Thoughts on this please?

Thinking of 2 sets of spots, 8" and 6" or 7" and 5" or similar - think the 2 sizes would work well. Any thoughts other than blocking the rad?
Anyone got some good lamps you can reccomend?

Thinking KC Daylighters, Cibies etc... deffo 100W+

Following Wez's example, decided to have a go at sorting the front A bar today.
After a quick trip to B&Q, got some angle iron for strength and Alu chequer plate angle to go over the top. Took off the plastic coated cross member and replaced. Will be getting a couple of nice new shiny spots soon as well.

love the look of the 32x11.50's... i pressume they are on 15" wheels.

i was thinking of changing my wheel tyre combo. ive just fitted a set of roughtrax 2"+ rear springs.... would this tyre wheel size fit ok without any mods.

You'll be fine, to be honest the overall circumference isn't massively different to the 265/70/r16's that were on it before. The extra width could cause an issue when on full lock or articulation though depending on the offset of the wheels you choose. I have fitted wheel spacers to push the tyre out to fit flush with the outside of the wheel arch extension and suffer no such issues.

i have 30's on with out no lift they rub a bit on full lock
but no problems other wise very good off roading too

[puddlesurfer]

I think they would fit under there, but would rub if you went off road or over speed humps - experts will be along soon

Famous case of "thinking I'm correct, but clearly I was very wrong"

Yep, just like you think you can spell my name; but you can't.

Hell yeah,

and so's Yoshie, stick 6" skyjacker kit on that, some 35s and lockers on a Surf and I'd still rather have the surf and probably outwheel the Heep just about anywhere as well. As well as drive home afterwards instead on the back of an AA van..

Amongst jeep owners it stands for Just Empty Every Pocket.
And I should know as mine just cost me another £200 yesterday

[puddlesurfer]

The word jeep predates the name of the manufacturer, as demonstrated in post #27.

This can only be in reference to the manufacturer / make - Jeep.
