Just gotta buikd up the winch and wire up now.

Also picked up my new wheels, a heavy duty track bar and a few other little bits from paddocks to sort smaller issues out

Maltaisia kaimas. Simex copys. They measure 32 inches tall 8.5 inches wide

Ah right, the treps dwarf them

Are they 265/75/16?

Also going to 15" on the treps?

Aaaaand any feedback on the kaiman please? Was looking at them in 33x12.5x15 and thinking

I should be thinking 35s but it's just that bit too much on a disco, I don't want to go sky high and CBA with the bodywork it would need otherwise

235/85

no the treps are 35/12.5/16 bloody monsters !!!

he kaimans were very good ! Quite hard sidewalls though which means they dont flex as much on low pressures but theyre strong so 6 of 1 half dozen of another ... aeesome side wall tread too .... well untill you compare them to treps

Go for 35's theyre not That much bigger

I really could do with borrowing a set to see how much work is needed...

Cheers

And treps are TOO dear but creepys are on the shortlist

I have the same size 235 x 85 Kaimans on mine, Sam, they were on my Disco too .. can't fault them! I'll be buying them again, but haven't looked how large they go, I like the idea of 35's but not bothered about going much wider. I'm of the impression that their skinniness helps with the grip!

I guess 35 x 11.5 would be a good compromise ..

Yeah skinny is best but im a sucker for girth and that's that

Anyway good to hear they are a good option

Thanks chaps

Creepys are a very good tyre, been used in challenges for a long while althogh they tend to "grow" in size over time at speed ..


Treps are dear but hopefully worth it

Lightbar fitted tonight











Should be able to bomb around the welsh woods at full chat now with impunity

Cheers for the suggestion james

Nice! Make sure your winch bitch has sunglasses. Not joking, last night section I did almost everyone with those light bars was wearing sunglasses because it absolutely blinds you if you have to turn towards the truck

Thats crazy bright!!

this is turning out to be one mean truck ayre

love the light bar - i met a lad over the west coast of scotland in september who had LED light bar on the roof , LED headlights and LED fogs up front.

i saw him coming towards me from a mile off , his lighting set up cost more than my truck though!

No problemo, that is epically bright! Fits nice inside the bar too.
