everyday runaround
 

Whilst its great having a couple of WW2 trucks to restore a landrover comes in dead handy for moving the trucks around. Also this landy got me into military vehicles in the first place so whats yours?

Make them work for their keep
 

Totally agree about using MVs around the house and to work with other CMPs.

Question for you was the winch assembly picture (2) in the back of the Landrover picture (3) when that picture was taken?

Those winch assemblies are heavy.

Doubt if it was i didn't leave it in there any longer than i had to, i also had to do the same with a spare front axle and that was heavy. Both had the rear springs right down low nearly on the bumpstops !

Small bit of weight
 

Not surprised that it flatten springs down, the winch assembly causes the left side of my C60L to be 1” lower than the right. Without the winch in place the frame sat dead level, once it was fitted it over time went down an inch. Figure that the winch and all the fitments and driveshaft must be well over a 1000 pounds.

My C60L was working for its keep today hauling lumber.
