37s on a disco is it next big thing to have
CNorman:
I have to say im a little puzzled over this thread guys, and the whole jacking up thing.
I had a Disco 300tdi with BFG Muds, diff guards, tank guard and steering guard. I found that that went through every green lane i needed and was very capable both on and off road.
My mates had 265R16's which are slightly larger (31"???) and they would have probably have been good on my truck however what about roll over angles, alot of local lanes would have me a bit worried let alone with the truck over half a foot higher...
How do you keep articulation when you go to 38's and stuff? Are 38's really that much better, i mean i used mine ALL the time, vertuallyu every couple of days and scraping the floor never worried me. Especially if i took waffle boards.
Or is it just a look thing?

TBH i dont think he knows. 38's are pretty damn big. rolls are more likely the higher you go but he seems to have discovered a new form of offroading similar to MXing...who knows.
so far his truck is stockish so i guess hes either got the bug bad and wants to go extreme everywhere or he gathering info for some unknown reason lol

musta spoken to scrapiron bulli :lol: :lol:

yer ha s got 110 gearbox etc, BUT, my disco has a disco box and runs fine on 35's, admittedly the fuel pump is tweaked but thats it, i think it must vary from vehicle to vehicle somehow, as our other 200tdi is 100% standard but runs 33's and has very little effect,other than smashed a cv joint, but it had done 120k before it smashed.
Plus ours are 95% road used its just advertising vehicles really sodont get much offroadstick, but i still think there a lot of smelly stuff about.
