I've got myself a squeek which appears to be coming from the top mount area on the front spring, only really noticed it today after having the N/S windown down because it's so warm outside !! Any thoughts ???? ( And not about the weather BTW 
)

Took the angle grinder to the wrap round bull bar today, never really that fussed on it 
And Gavs in the process of sending me some plugs for the ends of the tube that are now showing, cheers to Gav

Hi Steven,
I think I'm going to look for a SS A bar instead of the one that's now left on.
I put 36psi in today, but not really had a chance to try it out, Chris says he used to put 44psi in his for road use, so I'll go up in increments of 2psi.
just sold the old tyres for a ton, so I've got a bit cash together now to go for next mods of A bar, snorkel and Chris is going to knock me up some tree sliders !
Can't wait for Lincomb
can you PM the photos of your mod to the rear wheel carrier please

Gav, what do you mean, you cheeky git !
Here's those photos that you wanted 
It's a couple of bits of 40x10mm flat bar that I've welded to the back of the carrier roughly centered to the original holes.
I then re-drilled each hole centered to the bottom left corner of each of the original holes, if that makes sense.
Oh & don't forget to get some longer bolts.
To be fair my BFG 255/85/16 spare fitted without this mod, but it did push the rear light lens when the rear door was fully opened & just touched the tread plate of the rear bumper when the rear door was closed. This mod has made it clear the rear bumper tread plate, just! But the tyre still touches the rear light lens a smidge.
Hope that this info helps you
The kids enjoyed the spare being off, they were droping toys between the spokes of the ally.

Yea, A bar is on the list, I wouldn't bother but I do like my spots hung off the front 
My rear wheel fits ok, it very lightly touches the rear cluster, not overly concerned at the mo, but deffo needs looking at, it clears the tread plate quite comfortably though

Front bar now off !
There was some weight in that thing, could even improve my mpg, it was like driving round with a elephant bolted to the bonnet, I think the front's lifted another inch too
