Do the sport up, it will be easier and break the 2.3 as they are now rarer and harder to get parts for :wink:

Re: 2.8td sport by Drift on Mon Apr 15, 2013 7:15 pm
Yup they are 4 seater, BUT they are coil sprung too and bigger tyres will fit without a body lift due to the flared arches :wink:
And its nearly summer......top off 8)

Re: 2.8td sport by snapper on Mon Apr 15, 2013 7:19 pm
Get the turbo swapped (couple of hours if you have lots of brew breaks), its a 2.8, nuff said really.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

A shorty eh.... Just what I need. I've already got half the project sat on the drive, it's been there for about 7 years :oops: The boss has been 'hinting' that it should go for the last 6 of em :lol:

The idea, that has been sort of floating about for a bit is to get a shorty, have the body off it and replace it with the MG Midget body thats sat on bricks in me drive. Tis either that or I get all the bits out the shed and try to work out how it goes back together again :?
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

If you prefer a LWB, break the Shorty, sell/break your 2.3 and get a 2.8 LWB
Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one :-(
