As I said I didn't expect you to understand!!!!! If you took the time and looked at the suggestion I made it would be obvious why an alarm would help!!!! This is why I stated the type I have, again if you had bothered to read it properly all would become clear!!

They can get them without opening the bonnet, it's very easy. There are bars which screw under the bonnet and stop them being pulled straight out, if that makes sense.

You clearly don't grasp the concept of layered security!! I have never said an alarm will stop anything being taken, it just makes it harder and less desirable. I don't expect you to understand this either

So at which point did I say an alarm will stop something being stolen? I'm lost as to your comment?

Hss tools with high rake

Thought so, I have a weatherby and was told it's a howa!!!

Are they not the same rifle?

Top man!!

So by adding springs and shocks it was only a body lift!!!! Unless bigger wheels and tyres were used it didn't gain any ground clearance. This is the point I was trying to make.

It is a very expensive task if done properly. A simple 2" lift most people do is only a body lift. Unless you plan on properly going off road with it your money would be better spent on either driving lessons or pay and play days. You would learn properly how to tackle mud and be amazed on how a stock vehicle will perform if correctly driven. Stick a set of bfg's on and go have some fun

Walshie you are correct going from 30.5 to 31 would give 1/4 increase On diameter 1/2 overall but on radius 1/4

The only advantage you have with a lift is bigger wheels which gives you the extra clearance!! If you lift you will need more articulation which leads to new high lift suspension! Then all the angles change and put stress on joints, and they wear very very quickly!! The standard height of pick ups and landrovers are more than enough unless you are going extreme off roading. I have been in loads of lifted 4x4s and that coupled with big trees makes for a horrible ride, if it's a dedicated play toy I can see the advantage but as a daily driver they are like driving a boat!! The best compromise as I said earlier is bigger tyres. Have a look on google at the tyre size calculator that will give you an idea of speedo readings. To get a proper 2" lift the tyres need to be 4" bigger which changes the characteristics of the drive. I personally wouldn't lift, from the driving I have done a set of larger muds worked wonders and didn't have to play about with the props.

Look at the biggest tyres you can fit first, doing lifts can put stress on all the joints and bearings and make them wear a lot quicker. £ for £ the cheapest and best option for occasional use is bigger profile tyres!!!!

Keep an eye out on eBay for a set of guards as sishyplops says!! Belt and braces

I have an after market alarm on my landrover that has external plugins, I can hook it up to bikes on the bike rack and all sorts!!

Take a look at jawengineering they do an anti theft kit for the lights.

Mitsubishi Outlander? They are getting good reviews pretty good on fuel too!!!

She'll be rite!! Big knocking stick and shape the bracket holding the flexi pipe!!!!

We both have licences, didn't as such have to give a reason just had to answer questions on experience and where we intended to go. As clakk says 'shared' is how we were told to put each other's on licences by the feo, this is because I have one big cabinet and we both have access to it. If anything happens to the other it's one less worry!! As you say there can be a substantial amount tied up in them.

Anyone interested in this as new recoil pad £15 posted Size small

I think you can safely say Dan has the PW vote!! Deservedly so too!!!

Brock and Norris make some good rifles! Just had my weatherby back and they transformed it

People saying it can't be done have obviously had no experience of the dent removal!! Just google some of the sites and take a look at the pics!! There are far worse examples on crease lines and corners that have been pulled out!!

Dan Bromley is the chap to speak too!! Fantastic work. I think his name on here is barrelblacker
