A few pics of my Cruiser playing in the sand pit.

Are the wheels on the ground? Standerd running gear and her feet are still firmly planted on the floor.

Well once you have got in you have to get out again. Bit close to the belly but 40mm lift OMEs that are on order should cure that.

More articulation.....nice.

And off coarse when in the play ground you have to have a go on the seesaw!!! I actually managed to get it ballenced.

Finally the camber, I was told that this is about 42 degrees.......felt like it inside the car but, from the outside hmmmm.

Looks a nice playground that. Where was it?

I think you are right about the 42 degrees. I'd guess that isn't even 30deg.

Interesting to see pics after your lift. Tommo has been considering it but his 90 goes everywhere my 80 + 2" goes.

Your towbar is going to be a bit of a problem when you come to the steeper inclines. If you need it then fair enough, but if you don't then I would lose it. Of course you could go for a nice 50mm receiver instead. I have spent years catching my towbar and ending up high and dry, but not anymore. Wayhay!!

Hi Ecky Thump,

The playground is Kent www.truegripoffroad.co.uk I liked it, there was a bit of everything including a wade through water in the woods. When I was there I rekon it was up to the door bottom but judjing by the tide marks it is uasually head light depth. There are lots of hills of varying dificullty and of course the seesaw.

I will post some before and after photos when she is all done
