Mine sits 20mm above the bottom of the side skirts, trans pan is lowest part so have to put rails under the running gear.
SO that would be about 170-180mm off the ground

Yeah, when I had the 186 in the same position I would have to take certain judder bars at an angle.

It's a raised hump in the middle of the road designed to stop people using the street as a racetrack.

Hey Craig....Do you really think that motorists would slow down to run over some politicians lying on the road? I think most would speed up. I know I WOULD :D :D ;D ;D :D ;D :D

 do they look anything like this one, in red ?  :D
the photo is from Noid's gallery, so I guess it's his hump.

 ;D ;D cheers Noid, well done. ;D ;D

love your van. I check it out regularly, nice lines.
I named the photo "short nose", in reference to the dream of building a 4X4.
Excellent front ground clearance.
