Hi Landy Man,

It sure is a goer, fitted with nobbies goes great!

All of this work is being done at a mates place, (his shed and postie) He has 16 acres in Silvan with his own enduro loop that he rides his KTM on so the postie is for just getting around, oh and the ocaisional fang around the track when the beers start flowing!

Cheers

GRA

Hi up2nogood,

here is a better pic of the GRA seriesII setup

Image

As you can see the GRA basically bolted straight on to the manifold and the standard throttle cables should work perfectly.

Cheers

Cheers, Still running standard axles, but expecting them to break, will probably upgrade to maxi drive's when it happens. Disco has only been on the road for about 3 months.
Yeah the guys at LRA are great, products are a bit expensive but we dont have much choice driving landies, not many people do good aftermarket stuff for them.

Ironman.....I think thr best bet for a man without a warn budget. Let me chase up a link on ebay winch tests before you bid. I wouldn't touch one, considering there's 12000lb ironmen getting around for similat prices if you look hard ;)
