Also remember if you have a fully loaded roof rack, that angle would be reduced due to the extra weight up on your roof and the CofG being a lot higher up....... And your truck looks nice in white !!! don''''''''t see many in that colour PS if you are going offroad a LOT, then I highly recommend you invest in a steering guard, before you bend the linkage as its VERY vunerable on Land Rovers < Message edited by Urban Panzer -- 8/30/2008 10:58:49 PM > _____________________________ www.discovery2.co.uk 2001 Disco 2 TD5 ES, CDL, SAT NAV, Mantec Snorkel, Mantec / QT protection, 12000Lbs Winch (in reply to Rover8urhummer) Post #: 4

You can set it on the dash when youi go ''froadin'' and stick it in the house when you are home. You can buy one of those levels at a RV dealer. It will save you on shipping. _____________________________ If it ain''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t leakin'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' it must be empty! Yes, one man can change the world.

Every body is ok that is what counts. The truck can be replaced. How long did you have it? And on a positive note, that isint that much damage for rolling down a 300 ft hill. The safety cage seems to have held up well. I really think that in anything else yoiu would have been in the hospital if not dead. Now you need to make that pic your avitar. _____________________________ If it ain''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t leakin'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' it must be empty!
