Like it

A friend has a Hi-Lux which I borrow sometimes, think I can see some bargaining going on when he decides to sell
Maybe just the photo but that bottom hose looks exposed and unsupported. Thats what went on mine the other week so its now got extra jubilee clips and cable ties.

MX ... it's not the photo ... you are right it is unsupported , and I did wonder abuot putting an extra bracket in , however ya know how it is ... I thought I'd see how it all went and haven't got round to it .... it's not really exposed cos the front bumper is lower so nothing will hit it if I run into something .... as for off roading , well it's limited due to my extensive exhaust pipes now , cos I'd wreck them on a few chassis slides, and anyway I'm told V8's don't like too much water ... However a few on here seem to be coping well with almost full imersions

... But the new V8 will be ariving after christamas and I need to fit a new bonnet and new wings ... so mebe this time I'll do a few extra brackets too...
Have to say I've also taken a squizz at your MXV8 .... smart .... I'd heard it could be done but I've never seen one , looks a bit of a tight squeeze to fit all that in there
