Hi all,
Anyone know Waypoint Tours? http://waypoint-tours.com/about.htm I'm
planning on going to Morocco with them in November, wondering if
anyone has done it before.
Now I've got the landcruiser pretty much fixed up it's time to use it.
I tried it out at the Buxton and District Land Rover Club "playday" a
few weeks ago, and thrashed around an old quarry near Buxton. I
discovered that Landcruisers are significantly longer and wider than
Land Rover Defenders, and you can't always follow them.
As a result I managed to bend the side step so I couldn't open the
passenger door, and found an advantage of being fat - you can jump on
it and bend it back again. Finally an excuse to eat and drink even
more. Also lost the fog light and tow hitch electrical connector which
can easily be replaced, higher next time.
Ripped off a mud flap too. Do these things serve any purpose or are
they just cosmetic? I was thinking of removing them or cutting them to
be as short as possible.
What is the consensus of opinion of under body protection? I hit a few
things and am paranoid about sticking a big hole in the LRFT or
breaking something important.
I'm not sure if the front locker (ARB airlocker) is engaging
properly. It makes an appropriate hissing noise when you hit the
button, but I didn't notice any difference in steering or grip with it
engaged. What is the easiest way to tell?
Also been thinking about upgrading the lights, it would be
particularly useful for me if there was an easy way of changing dip
beam angle for UK driving on the left & Europe on the right. Any
ideas?
All replies and suggestions gratefully received!
Cheers,
