 |
|
Ok - I have got the bug and want more more more (as Billy idol was heard to say  )
I have a friend who knows quite a few green lanes in the derbyshire peak/dales and is willing to lead - however there is a major problem - he drives a Disco 
Anyway that aside who would be interested if I can sort something out?
Not idea when as I seem to be running out of weekends - but we can try

I got up the bank with BFG AT's on.
You can run them all the time, and they last forever.
Biggest thing you need is a front recovery eye, as some times you will need a tow and you can't always go backwards |

That's allright by me. I don't mind what I'm towing out of the mire, really.

| As a matter of interest what do you carry as essentials for green laning? What sort of recovery ropes and do you just use the standard hook on the front, it looks quite meaty, I thought about putting one the other side too. |

just been looking on the internet and reconise the tyres ! 
all my tyres are different makes and have about 2 mm of tread on them 
regarding the front fixing point, i think i will fab up a cross beam with a shakel on it just under the A frame bull bar..
thanks for all ur advice lads! |

The original one is plenty strong enough... also if you can get a second from a scrap yard I beleive there are already pre-drilled m12-fine holes on the opposite side and it will bolt straight on (see MrTwisters garage pics - he has two on his)

| I suspect you just need longer bolts for your A Bar, as this will be you original fixing point. |
