Rik; Has it ben offroad yet? Photos of it running under its own power? What are your approach and departure angles now? Looking good.

What suspension do you have under it? What wheels are those?

How did you get around all the computers and sensors? Also, doesn't look like it has too much room to flex. Other than that it looks good. What suspension are you running?

There was a guy running a similar (in size) setup a while back...
Did you change the gearing?

ill have off road photos at the weekend, there should be enough clerence , but more trimming may be required, suspention is just normal +3 springs and ome shocks with spacers on the front for now but im going coil over, the abs tc ect has custom tone rings in the axle , i just got the prototype yesterday and it still has to be fitted but should work ok, im on gps speedo for now.rims are stock unimog but i want double beadlockers. the main thing is though that it runs and drives all the tweeking will be done over the next few months i will post updated pics as soon as i take them.approch and departure angles have not been measured yet but they must be massive compared with stock

Please please please the computer stuff! The D2 is such a great start (fuck you d1 guys!:flipoff2:) except for BMW's reliance on the electronic stuff.
I actually dig traction control when I don't have fault lights! Keep it coming and thanks for breaking ground. This thing will be paid off this year and it's time to get hardcore!:D

I think the problem is the computer stuff playing nice with components never designed to be attached in the first place - not the computer stuff by itself. Note the guy has UNIMOG axles - hardly computer literate.
After your D2 is "paid off" and you start bolting on stuff not bought at the LR store, you'll probably find this out yourself.

you are so wrong, these are computer literate mog axles , i have developed sensors and rings that fit in the axle , soon these will be forsale at straightforward supplies and via myself , abs tc hds and speedo will all work fine .

Are straightforward still trading then? People seem to have problems contacting him at the moment to chase up goods not received :(

Though I'm the king of poz' shots, a few flexed out would be nice.
Looking good...(I think) ;)
