It's only short and you don't even need to shift out of 2WD unless it's been raining hard but it's got some lovely views. Quite often go along it in my daily which is a Skoda Yeti.

looking good Nick, let me know how you get on with the Black Raptor lift kit, I had been wondering whether or not to hold out for a trailmaster lift kit, but the obviously the cost of the black raptor makes it appealing!

I'll park it up in a place I have a before shot at somepoint for a comparison. So far impressions are good. It feels softer damped on the road. I'll hopefully be taking it to get muddy on Sunday.

Went out to test the lift kit a bit this evening. Took my fave local lane to find a tree had fallen down.

I went all Bear Grills and using another branch spent 20 mins levering it out of the way and then carried on.

So far so good. As per on the road it feels a little more softly sprung and damped. Articulation seems better from the drivers seat as well. THere's a few of us heading out on sunday fro some good lanes round Wiltshire.

Cheers. Just phone pics.

Self centring is non existent but it doesn't bother me much.
