So this past week I have put 850 miles on the Colorado, 90% motorway and all light footed.. first tank I averaged 25.3mpg, second tank 25.8mpg. I was hoping it would be slightly better on fuel. My 110 td5 defender on the same tyre returns almost 28mpg mixed driving. What does anyone else get?

Hi, as I have pics along the way I thought I would share my winch mount build, in time it will become a full bumper. Just needs bolt hikes drilling though chassis legs on final fitment.

Does anyone have a picture of the undertray, as you can see I have 2 rusty holes in mine so need to see what should be there to recreate. Thanks Danny.

While under the LC today I noticed my fuel lines are very rusty going up the bulkhead area, does anyone have a part number or and any details to remake the lines, looks like there is a join above transfer box area so don't need to go front to tank.

Hi I am after at least 4 wheels, 8"x17" and zero offset or close too. Don't need tyres just wheels. Maybe consider other widths such as 7.5" upto 9" if the offset will work. Also UK only. Thanks Danny

Hi, after some knowledge of those that have fitted 265/75 16 tyres on 8" rims. I believe the norm is to opt for a zero off set, how close does this bring the wheel/tyre to the edge? I am looking at running a 265/70 17 on a 17x8 so overall dimensions will be the same but zero offset is £20 per...
