Actually I think it's the grass in the photo that too tall :lol:

One of the best examples I know of using a bus for all the adventures it was designed for

How low are your front spindles ? I tried to read through but cant find it. I'm just wondering about getting 3.5 " dropped ones and not bother with adjusters in the beam.

Yes, about 3.5" but I have adjusters as well so it's a bit lower still

 

[trebor]

Is it on ball joints ?

 

[Clem]

Yes, it's a Slamwerks/T2D 4"beam with reversed ball joint spindles.

[sparkywig]

Where did you stay in Bude, Mike?

 

[mike202]

Was that the front shock absorber? Pot-hole?

 

[Clem]

Where did you stay in Bude, Mike?

Upper Lynstone Campsite Wig. Really clean and good sized pitches. We arrived late and it was all shut up so just stayed and payed on departure, it was just under £20. Ive no idea if thats reasonable or not? I thought it was a bit steep maybe, but the loos and showers were superb.



Yes, the damper snapped on a real rough road, but I was going really slow so I dont really think its that contributory .... I bought them off here unused and they came from a supplier of the shocks, not direct from Gaz, but I will be going back to the company and seeing what can be done. Ive refitted the old Bugpacks for now as Ive a couple of weekends coming up where I need the van and I dont have time to be waiting right now.

I was in Bude primarily to collect a pretty cool eBay purchase :mrgreen:

That's run by our friends Mike, we stay there whenever we're in Bude.
Used to have a static pitch there for just under 10 years.
