secret supplier!!... i'll post pics tomorrow!

getting 285/75 16 cooper discoverer ATs... 295s would have added £300 so far too expensive!

Look forward to the pics. Thinking of changing my wheels and tyers as soon as the bank balance allows, so will be nice to see what you've gone for.

got tham from www.formula4x4.co.uk

they didn't have my first choice!... being impatient i went for some slightly cheaper ones!!

Oooooh I want the Canyon 5 spoke, now what can I flogg to pay for them?

[da SLUG man]

isn't it strange how no matter how many times you replace the axle oil seals... diff oil comes out when you take the wheel off!

Tasty!
You'll wanna get the Vim on them tyre letters, brings 'em up nice and white.



That is, if it is still called Vim...........Most probably Cim!

[da SLUG man]

it's 2" body lift and 2" pro comp suspension lift... feels fine on gearing, but did have a bit of trouble overtaking earlier, but that was accellerating from 60 (only popped down halfords!)

can fit my fat fingers between top ball joint and tyre so don't think that'll be a problem and have been fine for clearance on bumper etc.

they seem a bit easy to wheelspin, but i think that's more the shiny "newness" of them (and i've been trying to scrub the stickers and writing off the tread!)

[AndyLala]

That is looking very nice...

I'll have to add that 2" lift to my 'wish' list.
