Panhard is that a positrack or a solid axle ? I'm not much on suspension or even a very good mechanic. Can you explain? My 99 is in dire need of shocks springs etc. I think a lesson in suspension would keep me calmed down till the weather breaks.
We had 3" of sleet snow and Ice here probably won't melt for awhile there is a big hump going into the garage. It a bit scary to pull in.
This Morning freezing fog never heard of that before.
It has got to end soon

panhard like in the front, to replace the watts linkage, in the rear. watts binds during articulation. this is supposed to be an improvement on that. it got above freezing today....so I may crawl under there and install tonight.

Offroad maybe I'll see you in France this summer maybe we can discuss atheism. Can't bring my rover with me though.
slabrat, I'd enjoy meeting you, as for atheism, not much to discuss really, it's a void in my mind. I always work on this basis, 'All religions were invented by man' that's what I have a real problem with. I come from a jewish family and was sent, at one stage, to a catholic school , a real dichotomy! by the age of 12 I had decided there was no religion that convinced me of anything and they were all dogma's invented by men for whatever reasons. So I opted for pure atheism as no-one can convince me otherwise.

Yep, some imagination there. Mind you Dusty, I've heard about all these 'slappers' down there in HELL, so we'll be OK then.

Ok I am sorry, never talk religion or politics.

Can't work on the Rover till it warms up, anybody else have that problem?? I'm getting cabin fever I think.
well as my name suggests, I love being outdoors and feel closer to whatever created this beautiful world whilst sitting in a field or under a tree, paddling down river or by staring at the clouds and stars in the sky. I'll take that over a lecture in a building on a Sunday anyday. Kind of the same page, right? And I think that's cool that evolution is part of the process of creation, yes. That's the way I think of it. I don't think there is any right way, wrong way, which way.. or the way.

So back to nature and cabin fever. I am CLIMBING THE WALLS!! I want to get outside so bad. This winter has been too darn long and too darn cold. It took everything out of me to clean the back seat and hatch area out the other day in -17 degree weather. I did it though...

'Zachary' - it's a turn off for me when the church is always programmed to receive, that's why I stick to my own 'religion'.

Sorry to hear the weather is so awful there still. We had the first decent day for weeks, sunny all day, with no high winds or torrential rain and the RRS registered 17/18C in Aubeterre. The forecast looks good for the next couple of weeks although it can change very rapidly as we are near to the Bay of Biscay on the Atlantic.

Cheer up though, summers on it's way.
