[Growler]

Still, at least the other vehicle with you would have been able to drag you off

that's assuming you weren't on your own, and ignoring the first rule of green laning

Hey Colin. I can see the tower from my house, in Chorley. I've been up that track a few times. It's not very challenging, and only quite short. However, considering the miniscule amount of legal lanes in the region, it's worth a trundle, if you're already in the area.

it was the first bit of "off roading" i`ve ever done! i`m tring to get used to the surf before i go too mad! got a few mods to do before i venture further afield and my mate has to sort his shogun boooo ha ha don`t want to go too far on my own so i shogun following me will have to do! been upto pigeon tower a few times so i knew the track was there and only went down so next time i`ll come up from the carpark! i need a suspension lift and better tyres before i try the other way. is there somewhere you can recommend? i`m coming from waterloo, liverpool not far from the docks.

When I've been on that track, it has always been uphill from the car park. Like I said, there are few other legal lanes in the region. Wildor, a 50 acre pay and play site in Ince, near Wigan is open once a month. It's got some quite challenging deeply rutted sections, and during the wetter months (almost all year round, then), it's very muddy. It was open today, but I had to work. Next one should be towards the end of May, always on a Sunday. Maybe I'll see you there. Here are some pics to give you some idea.

Do you have the intercooler bonnet scoop on that way to stop mud filling it up? Also...does it still cool effectively?

[Rob5464]

Nice looking trucks. As for the tow bar it does protect your bumper. Although I will be removing it in favour of a bar off a new L200.

Hi Sy. There's been a bit of debate about this subject over the years. I have fitted it that way to act as a hot air vent, rather than a cold air scoop. The science behind it, being that it allows more hot air to exit the engine bay, allowing a greater volume of cold air to pass more efficiently through the radiator.

[Sylux]

Ah, nice approach.

Very much along the lines of my awesome pc case. Getting the hot out can be equally, if not slightly more, important than getting the cool in.
