The Mog

So this is the page that the other half would probably be better placed to complete, but as he'll be doing much of the work rather than writing about it, I'll give it a go as the upgrades and overhaul progresses.

The list so far:

  • Rear Bumper - to be constructed and welded on
  • Heavy Duty Shocks and Springs - to be fitted to the rear only
  • Winch - to be fitted (debates still ongoing as to whether front or rear, and cable vs plasma rope, which is supposedly just as tough but lighter and cheaper)
  • Fuel Tanks - we need additional range, as well as providing an element of security, one one gets punctured
  • Turbo - fitting more to increase mid-range power than overall speed


More details/pictures etc will follow once Moglet has been picked up from Atkinson Vos and we can get stuck in ourselves.
