Mr Noisy
Coming in your ears.
Have cut the arches right out and fitted flatdog extended arches to cover the tyre - I don't find I have any problems day to day or on 90% of greenlanes its just when I get onto the P&P sites I get rubbage I personally think it sits real nice and for that reason plus the fact I don't want any more dents in the roof I'm not that keen on the idea of going up any more than I have too!
Yes I agree it's only occasionally on full bump you get rub but this can be too often!
It does look well as it is and I often look at mine and think 33s are just a tad too small, but I think of my halfshafts too and find solace!
When it comes to lanes, lowness is key. I have sneaked down tight lanes without a kiss where others in jackers have destroyed roof panels and alpine lights.
I have zero intention to take mine higher, both for tight lanes as above and road handling, it's a v8 for a reason.
You have to be inventive with your flatdogs, I have mine semi ridgedly cable tied on and as above the panels cut away to the cable tie holes behind, plus with the right offset you'll eliminate a lot of rub, just those rear doors that are a bugger now but so handy for me as a camper vehicle i wouldn't want to 3 door it!
Cheers
