LC looking very nice gary

[gary820]

Need to post a couple of pics but been on with various bits and pieces.
Had its first long run out since lifting etc and averaged 16.7 mpg with motorway and Minor roads, not bad for a 4.5 running 35's.
I've just bought another set of tyres too! 35x12.50 bfg muds won't be great come winter and not always practical so got some cooper ats but a 33 that are narrower and will be on the stock rims. Advantage is the spare fits underneath on the hanger where the 35 goes in the boot.  Disadvantage is 33's look small lol.

Want to do a bit of touring in Europe so the 33's will come in handy for that too, got 7 of them so a few spares lol.

now got the waffles boards and hi lift mounted in the boot


fitted a switch for the centre diff lock, it usually only engages when selecting low range but it can now be engaged in high range, also means I can use the front and rear diff locks in high range  



picked up some 33's for everyday use and they'll work better then the 35x12.50's when the snow comes (got 7 of them in total so a couple of spares)



It was scrubbed up to take over to Derbyshire for the Goodwin wedding and it was the first good run out after all the work, performed spot on and got a nice family pic

Shopping goes in the ford focus

It's another reason for running a second set of wheels/tyres, the 33 fits underneath on the spare wheel hanger and the waffle boards don't live in there all the time. Want to use it to do some touring too. Got practical mode and not so practical mode lol

got my sliders on, under the stock side steps




had to make a guard for the cat convertors as they were a bit exposed, nicely protected now.
Tuck up under the steps nicely and don't have any major effect on clearance



Got transmission guard on too which protects the auto box and transfer box nicely, can see the exhaust guard quite well too.



there's a steering guard on too but forgot to take a photo of that

Don't 33's look small  





decided rather then wearing out the 35's on the road a second set of wheels/tyres would be better, picked up some 255/85r16 (33's) to put on the standard rims. Got 7 cooper st's for a really good price and one has never been used   they'll be much better in winter then the 12.50 bfg mt's and for normal use. Want to use the lc for a bit of touring round Europe at some point so the smaller tyres are much more suited.

Got the steering guard on too, protects the winch mount too.
