Can anyone tell me what sort of psi my tryes should be at for road and / off road driving. I got large Kumho Venture MT 33 X 12.50 R15 LT. Recently bought truck with these on they look a little low.

Also I posted a couple of days ago that I have some drive problem issue. Can only get the vehicle to drive in lower diff lock and only rear wheels engage. When in neutral or upper/lower will not drive. Couple people mentioned that this could be problem with cv joint. Is this bad?? and how easy is this to rectify? Not mech minded so just wanted an idea before I take it in somewhere so don't get stitched up Cheers
 
Will it drive in high difflock ? ( lever pushed left only ) ?
If yes Id say CVs or drive flanges ( or even Diff ) . not to bad to do , but finding a garage with landy experience helps :) .
 
yeah will drive in diff lock, well when i put the lever left and down. Is this lower diff? And also left and up but in very low speeds. Nothing though when in neutral or right and up or down. I'm new to 4wd so forgive my lack of knowledge. With my truck on the ice it was only engaging the rear wheels nothing seemingly to the front. Someone else sugested half shaft is this easy to check? I take it under normal road going conditions u leave the 4wd box sitting in neutral?
 
It will never drive in neutral anyway. It is, as the name suggests, a neutral.
If it only drives in diff lock it could be a number of things. You could have a broken halfshaft. Is there any grinding noise? It could be something stupid like your prop shaft has fallen off but I doubt that.

It certainly was a pain driving home with the front prop in the boot. I got some bungee chord and rammed it into the u joint at the front of the transfer box then ty wrapped it to keep it straight. It worked surprisingly well and never made another sound.
I nearly cried when I got home and realised that the reason my prop had fallen off was because I'd sheered both radius arm and spring mounts on my axle and the entire axle had moved forwards.
