[michael]

Hello, has anybody been to the frickley site Nr doncaster
Is it any good for a newbie like me with a standard 95 with at`s on ?
Is it worth the £25 entrance fee ?.www.frickley4x4.co.uk

I don't know the centre but in my experience, just go for it. You can do what bits you want to do and there is always someone who wants to show off their winching prowess if you get stuck.
Most sites have easy to bloody difficult routes so just choose carefully and take it easy.

Make sure you have towing eyes front and rear before you commit. Pulling you out of a hole by your axle could be very dirty and might break something.

I will contradict what the others say don't bother its a car killer, spend the extra and go the extra 30 miles to Kirton Off Road Centre (KORC), the site is an old pit tip and kills brakes and bearings quickly. I live less than 10 miles from it and I wouldnt go now I have sold my SJ. I used to do a set of front pads every 2 visits, prop uj's galore, wheels bearings, alternator and starter about every 3 visits

Frickley may be cheap but it will cost you a fortune in the following few weeks to attending, also be ready for the chavs in SJ's and Defenders

That korc site looks like a good place and not too far from us next one is the end of the month I might give it a go if I can sort it out,

 

[J66P]

KORC is spot on, something for everyone it just isnt cheap

Which was kinda what I was hinting at... Well done for picking up on that

That Ka, was/is that the one from TOR a while back? Did your buddy build or buy it? Looks fun

 

[J66P]

yep that is the one, he built it and soon will be building another, bigger and better

 

[Gav Peter]

Heading way OT in that case has he done a build thread anywhere? Or do you know what its all based on?

 

[J66P]

yep he never does things by half

Its a Fourtrack Chassis, engine and gearbox, engine and gearbox lowered and moved further back to aid centre of gravity. Shogun rear axle with locker, 70 series front axle, landrover springs, shocks and radius arms, everything else is just about homebrew. Front and rear winches, there was a write up in TOR a while back
