Enjoy!

Its got D60s front/rear, Fox Air Shox in front, coils rear, 40" MTRs soon to be replaced with 42" TSLs or Iroks. And 12 sticks of tube laying on the shop floor. Dont worry, give me two days it will be covered in tube.
 
Wasn't that at the Truck Show this year, while it was still in one piece? Or was that another Rover?
 
maybe re-do those sketch links before you load it back up with tube. maybe you can incorperate a giant wine cooler into the cage and tap it so you can have a large supply of chilled pinot while wheeling. and maybe put a cheese fridge behind the seats and make sure there is a place for the butler to ride :flipoff2:
 
I gonna step out from the crowd and say screw the wine and cheese jokes. I used to get the same kinda thing with my Wag. Sounds like its nicely outfitted. Nice to wheel something different.

SAS Pink Panther

And I bet it wouldn't have any trouble at URE, either... :D

A bit of background... the British SAS

Mobility Troop
Mobility is probably one of the oldest skills in the Regiment. Dating back to WWII, the SAS used "gun jeeps" to help provide mobility and heavier fire power. The Mobility Troop of today still has the same role as the SAS soldiers of WWII, to travel deep behind enemy lines and cause havoc on the enemy.

When a new soldier is assigned to a Mobility Troop, they must master all the skills of an experienced mechanic. They must also learn how to fix a problem while under stress. A lot of Mobility Troop are ex-REME. Their are many types of vehicles in use by the SAS today. Probably the most well known is the "Pink Panther" or "Pinky", so called because the color of it is almost a pink color. These are modified Land Rover 110s. They can be armed with a mixture of weapons, such as the Browning .50 Machine gun, Mk-19 40mm grenade launcher, twin or single GPMGs, and the Milan Anti-Tank Weapon. Mobility Troop also has the Land Rover 90s. These are smaller versions of the 110, but lack weapon mounts. Also in limited use is the LSV, or Light Strike Vehicle. It is a two seat dune buggy with a mount for a .50 machine gun or Mk-19 40mm grenade launcher. Also available is the Honda 350cc Quad. It is small and can be held easily in a helicopter or small boat. Last but certainly not least is the Honda 250cc motorbike. It is quiet and can be used for forward reconnaissance. During Desert Storm, the motorbikes proved to be invaluable. One "outrider" was on a patrol with a few other bikes deep behind enemy lines. When they the Iraqis spotted the bikes they took off and the SAS went after them. The outriders pulled in front of the trucks and made them stop. When the rest of the soldiers enganged the trucks two outriders got caught in the cross fire. One died.

Corporal Denbury was killed in the battle and for his courage he was awarded the MM. This section is dedicated to you. Rest in peace.
 
Jordans Disco.. I can't wait till I get the time to follow his lead. I'm tired of looking at my axles and SAWs sitting in the shop floor.

I may be down there this weekend to get his hydro going if I can find the time.
