Well this mornings job was to fit the BFG's to the shiny new wheels from west coast off road that arrived yesterday :) so armed with a 39" tyre lever, a bottle of washing up liquid and a list of new swear words i began....

and after dreading the job for weeks it was one of the easiest jobs i've done lol... around 5 minutes a wheel then a quick squirt of butane, explode it onto the bead and inflate and jobs a good un :)

now to fit em to the motor in the pouring rain... not fun and i think i may need to go even bigger in future as I seem to have built a beast that makes 37's look positively small lol .....

cheers steve
 
Looks good. However, that rear axle looks like it's really far forward. I you got some extended rear arms (Giggleping make some) I think it would be much better!
 
the rear axle is dead centre on the spring seat, its an optical illusion because the rear of the rear arch extends straight back, the lift is 3" billet alloy blocks topped with 3" springs and a 3" body / chassis lift..... pythagorus employed the rear axle has moved 4mm forward with the 6" lift and spaced radius arm :) but agreed looking at it it looks more lol
 
take a look at douglas motors Wimborne they done one same colour same arches etc but they put 44s on it looks loads better the 37s look lost ..
