Land Rover 90 Standard Class Challenge Truck |
|
My 1992 200Tdi Hardtop Land Rover 90 is used both as a daily driver, including regular towing, and as a winch challenge truck.
It therefore has to be something of a compromise for use in the two somewhat contrasting situations.
All of the various modifications have either been bought and fitted by me, or indeed home fabricated and fitted by me, with fairly limited time and resources.
This vehicle was first used on the challenge scene in the Challenge South West 2 day event at Wellington back in April 2007, though I started out driving another Land Rover in the Challenge South West Night event at Bampton in January 2007. It has since been used in a number of both CSW and 4X4Adventures winch challenges and is currently part of the 4x4 Adventures 2008 Series. The truck is gradually being modified and improved as problems arise or indeed as funds and time allow. On the horizon is a change to 265/75x16 Insa Turbo Special Track tyres, and the fitting of a Southdown raised air intake, once a full roll cage has been fitted. The final decision on the roll cage is yet to be finalised, as has the choice between keeping the full hardtop, fitting a truck cab, or indeed making something in between. In the future I also intend to replace the winch with a system similar to the awesome Milemarker Type R, powered by a hydraulic pump run directly from the engine crank, and then to add a rear winch as well. It will hopefully, in a few years time, be equipped to a standard that I am completely happy with, and that will become fully competitive in challenge events.
