Re: urgent...ashtray is stuck

Use a lighter?

Or get something thin, slide it in the gap and push it to the back.
Or slide it forward with a bit of pressure.

Re: ceramic exhaust turbine?

I had both on a nissan and i found the ceramic spooled up a bit quicker but as stated above, if you turn up the boost they tend to shit themselves. I ended up with metal because i was running up to 18.

Go the rubicon.
Despite what a few people have said they aren't too bad on road and they're brilliant off road. Double locked, stronger drive line and low gears in the transfer.

Another option is the new 90 defender? :cool:

I have rockcrawler leaves in the front with standard in the rear minus a couple of leaves.
The front does flex quite well but a week after putting them in it sagged heaps on the drivers side.
Had them for a few months now and i think i might try EFS 3" soon.

to counteract the leverage the bigger tyres have on your motor ie robbing all your power, you will need to change the diff ratios.

like changing gears on your push bike when the going gets tough. :lol:

Your probably going to scrub the 33's on the back of the front wheel arch.

I have the model after yours but they are similar. Your car won't ride as nicely as a car with coils.
