Umm not quite sure what you mean pedro ?
I was trying to show that years ago gary820 talked me through long travel suspension set ups and its still paying off as the mog lifted its rear wheel and Phil had to weigh it down so Rob could back out even though the mogs a long wheelbase one _________________ 2 New Troopers ! |

To be honest Mr G I don't know the wheredy wherefores, but heard the phrase 'Portal axles' and believe they are the standard set up on Mogs. My thought was do these portals have resultant restricted articulation, hence your wheels sitting on the deck and the Mogs rear one up in the air like a dog having a pee.
Initially I was going to post that Rob the Mog was probably p1ssed off because he got wet feet (downer for having a left hand hooker) and your feet stayed nice and dry. |

Ah with you now , well thats a standard mog so maybe its not got lots of travel but its wide and long so maybe its on load carrying springs .
Just before that picture was taken it was about 3 foot higher ! There is a vid I will post it later . _________________ 2 New Troopers ! |

Was the venue a local pay and play down your way with plenty of water to keep the ditches filled?
I've got a small party laning day organised this coming Thursday (New Years Eve) if you fancy it Simon. Going to attempt finding the East Kent lanes using viewranger and google map so it will be a bit trial and error. I've done some of them a couple of times before but that was me following leaders with local knowledge. A few North Downs hills involved if I find them OK. Early start though, 9a.m. at M20 J8 services on the eastbound side. |
