My Fiesta

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

im getting a 34inch one off ebay in white for the fester. Mounting it to the roof bars :)

Any idea on lifting a sprung car without changing the springs?

I raised my fester by putting 15in wheels on but it didnt lift it enough.

Cut the shock turret tops with a large angle grinder, remove a couple of inches of said turrets and reweld the tops back on.

:twisted: 8-)
