It begins!

This is Kerrsurf on yoshies comp

how mental does it get at the mighty Clog?

It can get pretty rough Rod, have you seen the vids and pics?
Articulation and grip is kind for the Clog, same as pretty much anywhere.

How much did the wheels and tyres cost you in the end Alan?

I just had a reasonable quote for 5 33" ATs on 15x10s from that bloke on eBay. I reckon its Silverline actually. All the same brands / wheels etc, and similar prices.

Around £580 delivered, fitted and balanced. gret service from Silverline, speak to Anthony.
i've compared my tyres to yoshies BFG's and the tread is very very similar, not just as deep though.

[yoshie]

i'm gonna get a 3" body lift and then get new l/c springs and +4" shocks all round and hopefully that will be enough

thats around 6inches of lift in total then.
Will trailing arms still clear ok under articulation? I'm thinking of the one at fuel tank.

[surfenstein]

fuel tank radius arm is gonna hit the tank.thats why im modding mine.

[Apache]

Yep, noticed that could be an issue. A cranked one on that side would sort the problem.

really all the rear radius arms are to short to get any decent flex from the suspension set up.could do with an "A" frame and land rover cranked radius arms.

Mate, check out getting some roughtrax +2" springs an some 2" spacers! Will give you more then enough space at the rear with a 3" body lift to run 35's!

Ive seen some pics mate, love the one with yoshie on his side! nutter, huge respect for that!

Thats the problem mate, you'll have grip an clearance but articulation unless you go for a full on 7" lift is going to be a bit... lacking!

I only bother with very light green lane stuff thats fairly local so articulation isnt an issue for me. Thank god or the 35's would have graced Ebay pretty soon after the purchase!

[KERRSURF]

Fitted those nice Warn hubs Richard! cheers mate.

I did the 2" bodylift (cheers for getting it here on time tonyN, we had seats out and trim off, bolts loosened off when the postman arrived)
Met Can't Get Right (Chris) and he and yoshiehelped on the spanners, cheers lads, and the weather even dried up and got warm.


yoshie and I found out Chris likes his bling, here he is polishing his chrome tailpipe sleeve!


went for a wee drive and the truck feels brilliant, tried out the articulation and it seems pretty good, can't wait to test it at the Clog on Saturday

[Bibs]

Wey hey - sorted then. Looks good an bet you can't wait to get out next week.

Jeeeyxz then grey ones are common - who's next door???

[KERRSURF]

Thats Chris's one before we put it in the drive

I can't wait to try it out Viv!

Betcha can't - make sure yu take lots of pics.

Cut your rear bumpstops down for that last little bit of articulation. Its a shame to waste it

[Albannach]

I was there too, I even fitted the O/S/F and O/S/R lifting blocks (but not the bolts or any of difficult stuff...)
