New to the board

Hey everyone,

I just joined and finished repairing my 07 RR, I bought it recently at 184KM with the goal to make it my daily offroader. I live on an island with temperate rainforest and logging roads everywhere, and I'll upload my trips here so you can see the views.



As I said I've already done some work to her, replaced a front air spring, bought the Proud Rhino rods, IIDtool and fitted Firestone Destination MT2 295/70/18 on black steelies, trimmed my wheel wells for *less* rubbing Laughing - Currently getting 8mpg, but I love this vehicle so far. Thumbs Up







I'm probably looking at new wheel bearings soon, just a feeling in the gut.
What issues should I be looking out for driveline wise? I have very steep inclines to manage but not so much 3 wheeling, I feel like the 34s with my suspension tuned gives me enough clearance

Hi Synfinite and welcome aboard Very Happy

Your Rangie looks in really nice condition considering the age and mileage and it sure does look ready for work on those tyres.

The only advice I can give about the drivetrain is to make sure the diffs, transfer box and gearbox have an oil change if they haven't already been done.

I loved your first pic and I am really looking forward to seeing some more of your stunning scenery.

Cheers, Mark Current Cars:
