And they will still go off road. (if like me you cant be bothered changing wheels everytime you want to go off road, whats the sodding point? may as well take front prop off while im at it, oh and take the lift kit off...... :evil:)

Jim is your landy an auto?? as that will do less MPG than a normal manual Landy :D
Jim-Willy:
Not that much less tho', its only a 90" like so she is pulling no weight and i drive her steady on the motorways (which is where the bulk of the mileage is done these days).
