We've gone and picked up another Eriba. This time it's the 'big' one - a 3-berth Troll from the 80s.

It's in marvellous original condition for its age but it's crying out for a lift and some BFGs on 15" steel rims.

It's not just about offroad ground clearance, aesthetics and the inability to leave things alone - it actually gets beached on our steep drive on the original 13" wheels.

The process as I understand it is quite straightforward:

1. Decouple body from chassis and insert 8-10cm box section at the three mounting points.

2. Fit longer shocks.

3. Adjust motormover, wheel arches and other bits as necessary.

If anyone fancies lending me a hand with this or point me in the direction of someone who could I would be very grateful.

Just wind in the legs let it lie on its hitch ass up and stick some axle stands in at the rear . Then jack up the front .
 
Shame we live opposite ends of the Country.. I use to do Axle swaps all the Time on Ifor Williams Trailers, Beefing them up for Customers who wanted 3500kg capacity... It really is straight forward Jacob,.... But i guess having a Yard with Lift ramps and all the gear helps.. But im sure your more than capable... Just Attack it Mate.. 'Yool' be Rate'.... Crack On! :thumbup:
 
Cheers Higgy. I think in this case it's not something I fancy attacking on my own without the right gear.
 
True Shayne but I just don't have the tools and materials to get this done at home. I would much rather get it into a workshop or yard and get it done quickly and properly instead of having it jacked up outside for two weeks.
