Hi
My first 4x4 that I bought and I have to say I really like it. Use to own a 600hp Supra but sadly that had to go due to redundancy but very happy with this. Can't wait to get some mods done to it.
2inch lift
Cooper discoverer stt tyres
Light bar
Bull bars
EGR delete (done)
Full service. (done)
Power upgrade (done)
Ralliart wheels 16inch (done)
I would post some pics but I haven't posted enough yet to allow it.

Thanks.
I wasn't sure about bigger tyres if it would fowl the wheel arch but as you say may have some room to play with then. What size would be achievable with a lift on a 16" wheel? Also would a 265 fit on a 7" modular? Questions questions. I'll use the search function too I'm sure it's been covered many times. |

Can't wait to get mine on. I was a bit worried about wet weather grip but you have answered my doubts. I had bf goodridge MT's on my work 4x4 and it was hellish in the wet. |

i didnt read reviews on these in wet roads till after they went on ,,, i was worried they were gonna be a handful but honestly they are far more grippy then what came off ,, mines a petrol swb 3.0 v6 and in the wet pulling away on a turn you had to have your wits about you a little as it would want to be a drift car ,,, all much more civillised on these tyres so win win situation |

Changed the fuel filler pipe yesterday as it was leaking fuel when I was filling. Didn't realise how bad it was till I took it off. Rotten to the core it was and I could get 3 fingers inside the bloody thing half way down it. New part fitted and all good. |
