especialy if there simex..lets see em guys..

Bulli · « **Reply #1 on:** April 09, 2007, 20:00:06 »

why are simexes different? ...in size. we all know they are the best at breaking halfshafts/diffs/cv's etc

suggs · « **Reply #2 on:** April 09, 2007, 20:02:53 »

yeah i just like the look of the simex tyres, i currently run insa's so if i upgrade it will probley be simex ET.

cheers

good luck, they are awful on the road. Bfg's dont look as impressive but you can have a conversation and you dont need a chav stereo!

suggs · « **Reply #4 on:** April 09, 2007, 20:22:14 »

yeah i know the Insa'a are the same tread. my Disco isnt my everyday car, i normaly use a Transit and the wifes got a Disco 2 so not bothered about creature comforts..

Bulli · « **Reply #6 on:** April 09, 2007, 20:48:40 »

if he has fitted arches it will be fine, you can get em in on a 2 inch lift

suggs · « **Reply #7 on:** April 09, 2007, 20:55:49 »

yeah ive got a 2 inch lift and 1 inch lowered shock mounts, also got the body cut and arches fitted. just the gearing that will probley need sorting on a 300 tdi

extreme90 · « **Reply #8 on:** April 09, 2007, 21:06:20 »

nope, he did have arches until they got ripped off :roll: , so he is making his own arches :roll:

gearing wise, you will need a 90 transfer box, unless you change r+p's

if u use a 90 t/box, it wont be brilliant on road unless you fit a full width intercooler,
my 90 just keeps on going with the simex fitted, bottled out at 90 tho :oops:

i think Ashcroft do a diff conversion, Chuggermans new large arches would work well with the bigger tyres..

Bulli · « **Reply #11 on:** April 10, 2007, 09:07:14 »

yup, 4.1:1 had em in the disco for about 2 years now. They put you back to stock gearing if you have 32 and a bit tyres. Certainly help big time with the 35's.

You can also get 4.75:1 from CAM.

bullfrog · « **Reply #12 on:** April 10, 2007, 10:36:47 »

Should be getting my roccia ones this week too. :D I am putting 33/12.50/15s on mine with a 3" lift . It drives fine on 265/75/16s so should be ok. May get 90 box later on as having the intercooler sorted anyway. 8)

suggs · « **Reply #13 on:** April 10, 2007, 18:16:15 »

get some pics up with the new arches when there fitted, will be interested in seeing them..

davidlandy · « **Reply #14 on:** April 10, 2007, 19:26:35 »

a disco with 35" simex on will look well smart - saw one a year back at a show...very nice.

had some extensive arch chopping though to make them fit nicely

Bully your disco would look much better with Simex on than those BFGs

Bulli · « **Reply #15 on:** April 10, 2007, 21:01:57 »

You reckon? well each to there own. Lifes full of choices..mines been in several mags so it aint that bad with em

including the essential mods in TOR .

Simexs are great if you odnt need to drive other than offroad..trust me mine gets further than most simex equipped trucks.

BTW had simexes and sold em so there you go, we all make mistakes from time to time.

Yes I do, dont see why being in a mag makes any difference.

but glad to see that you admit to making a mistake selling your simexes

chuggaman · « **Reply #18 on:** April 11, 2007, 20:08:43 »

how about 39s

davidlandy · « **Reply #19 on:** April 11, 2007, 20:13:36 »

jeez 39s

:shock: :D

Bulli · « **Reply #20 on:** April 11, 2007, 22:26:18 »

no if you read it right i made a mistake buying them! not selling them..

oh and those on 39 look crap cos they arent simex....err yeah right,

as for being in mags well no i guess it doesnt make a diff at all. But where is the piccy of yours on the thread? I put mine up as it has 35's.
My disco looks how i want it too and i wont change it for you or anyone else. Sorry if that seems harsh but ive spent more time and money on that than you can guess so maybe im a little touchy.

I thought it was illegal to have tyres that were wider than the wheel arches?

Bulli · « **Reply #22 on:** April 12, 2007, 16:15:03 »

look at the plate, they arent from here. i went superjeepign in iceland 10 years ago...back then we were in a landcruiser with 44's on!

muddyjames · « **Reply #23 on:** April 12, 2007, 17:35:08 »

That did puzzle me the plate but your location is the uk so slightly baffled my tiny brain!

I read it as it was written.

I would post a piccy of mine but it aint a disco, so its not relevant to the thread.

I didnt ask you to change your disco if you read the posts. Anyway, glad your disco looks as you want it to...thats what matters.

...and i thought the 39s looked good

i like that its pretty darn kool!

Has any one used Procomp X Terrains, I would like Simex or similar but have to agree with Bully, I don't want to be changing half-shafts etc every five minutes and don't have the cash to upgrade everything. The Procomps don't look as aggressive as my grizzly claws but I assume the extra height would kind of compensate for that, a set of 5 on rims for about Ã‚Â£700.00 seems quite appealing.

Bully, I have the same sort of set up as Suggs, 2", lift reduced turrets and rear mounts, extended arches extended bump stops and +4 brake lines etc, are you sure that 35's would fit OK. I spent Good Friday sat on my diffs in Wiltshire and am seriously considering a new set of boots but don't want to set off on one of those more money after more money journeys that I tend to find myself on.

Thanks

Gav

Bulli · « **Reply #29 on:** April 13, 2007, 09:35:59 »

Gav, mine worked fine with 35's on but be prepared to reduce the length of sill protectors and winch bumper as they were the bits that stuck out on mine.
Like i say ive gone to 4inch but that was to get bigger shocks in and the 3 link makes the front end much more flexible.
