Guys - I am researching all things Defender in preparation for my next build and wondered if anybody knew this rig, or if anybody could give a guess at the tyre size and lift?

Just guessing, but surely over 285/75.. maybe 305/70 on 4 inch lift? The lift must be significantly over 2 inches, because the clearance between tire and arches is pretty huge. The arches are clearly trimmed, but still the space looks pretty big. mho

Thank you

Does anybody have a picture of what 35’s and a 2 inch lift looks like?

This is my 110 on 35x12.5x15 with a 4” lift.
Ignore the remains of the galaxy. That was the cause of my new chassis and went back to standard when I fitted that.

Looking at the pic in the first pic I would suggest it is Probabaly something similar size wise.

Is it polite to ask what was the cause of that little crash?

It looks like both vehicles were in the same place at the same time

That was exactly the cause of the crash!

Was a hairpin bend, country road, nice local farmer had liberally coated it with mud, braking to go around the corner and just caried on in a straight line. Unfortunatly because the two vehicles were at an angle it then bent one of the chassis legs. If it has been a true head on I would Probabaly not have needed the new chassis.
