Mods for 2009I was wondering... what modifications do you intend to do to your Frontera over the next year ?
Me, I want to actually start competing in the SWB in Trials and perhaps a winch challenge event so will be installing a FIA Engine Kill Switch, a pair of bucket seats, a pair of 5-point harnesses and a fire extinguisher. Lawrence
Re: Mods for 2009I gotta get the LSD in. Lift the body a tad more to make way for a winch, homemade rear waffle board holder, mod the rear chassis crossmember to allow more downtravel and finnally get around to lifting the fuel tank.
Not much then... Fronty no.4, pimp mobile Treg 3.2 LWB lifted 2.5"
Fronty no.5 2.8 swb hd coils +2" 31"machos.
Re: Mods for 2009Me ...... Going to buy a Defender !!!!
Yes, you read right, I'm on the look out for a defender, has I personally feel I have reach a stage with my truck I feel I can't go any further. And yes, before anyone says it, there is a few other things I could do, body lift, bigger tyres, winch etc, but I choose not to. No extra Mods in the world would recoup the £2000 + I have already spent on the truck since modding started.
Re: Mods for 2009Ill be de catting the car, rubber matting it, all bits are ready for that.
Then hopefully LSD, working on that one Then a little project like this for the rear, http://forum.planetisuzoo.com/viewtopic ... t=sleeping Making a storage and sleeping area, but being able to fold the sleeping area back to raise the rear seats when needed. And other than general maintenance thats me done Ste

Suspension lift, +2 shocks, new cart springs, bigger boots and a roof rack with some spots. Light travels faster than sound.This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
Re: Mods for 2009well im going to revert back to the original bumper, fit new bull bars, 2" body lift, flip the ball joints back,(as i think they are putting to much stain on the old girl), new paint job, new extended shocks, and i may go back to the original wings if i can find a cheep pair,

Re: Mods for 2009Thinking about plywood storage lockers around and over the rear wheel arches. Carry on working on the nearside rear door pillar to strenghten it so the door stops dropping when opened. Move the power steering reservoir over and remove the dead alarm bits to gain space under the bonnet to store fuel can jump leads and tow rope.Thinking about an aluminium scaffold pole hinged bike rack fixed on permantly.Learn how to post photos on this site.

Re: Mods for 2009Crivens... For 2009 I intend to:
Fit the 4" rear lift kit when the springs arrive and fettle with the front end to match. Get a matching set of front shockers and fit them. Relocate the spare wheel from the boot to the roof or possibly put the rear wheel carrier back on as I want my boot space back. Fabricate some sort of a shield/splashguard for the alternator. Snorkel. Remove the Secondary Air Injection System. Finally get round to properly bending the gear levers after the bodylift.
Re: Mods for 2009I wud like to fit a 2" lift and sort a roof bar for some spots, maybe even a full rack also fit a new cd player.
enjoy it while you can. steve.
