The 90, then, a bit later and now
Matt_H:
Well the 90 had been 'fun' over the last couple of months. She started off as a Blue, chequer and yellow pick up and now looks a little different.
What do you think of the transformation?
davidlandy:
thats looking good Matt!
Needs some bigger boots now!
glad you took off those modular hubs! looks much better without them IMV.
in the first picture please tell me that the hi-lift isnt cable tied on is it?
Matt_H:
no idea what the hi-lift was held in with!
I took the hub things off cus they just hide problems if you start to get a leak (which I had two of underneath!)
Bigger boots.. hmmm - she's got 265/75/16s on which are actually .1 inch smaller in diameter than 233/85/16s. Even with the 2 inch lift the tyres just catch on the wheel arch flairs under certain articulation. Not sure if I should just cut them back a little or not though (any suggestions?)
What wheel/tyre size do you reckon then?
Matthew
davidlandy:
gotta be 33" min - get some extended bump stops from paddocks as well they help - they are about £7 each or so.
I love spending other peoples money!
Matt_H:
I've got half a set of paddocks bump stops removed from the disco :-)
Can't afford tyres for the mo though - although I do have a set of grizzlies in 235/85/16s kncoknig about although they are a bti noisey on the road!
