Steve, you did'nt answer my question!!

Will it be on ickle road tyres during the week? Just might look a bit odd, that's all...

mentalmoshio sophs V8i · « **Reply #64 on:** October 04, 2007, 02:22:11 »

yeah prob 750r16 or 900r16 depends on lift and general handling. bigger road tyres for day to day use thats been on the card for a while just never got them yet

mentalmoshio sophs V8i · « **Reply #65 on:** October 04, 2007, 16:46:15 »

is it me or has everyone thought 35s abit the same now everbody would fit. just going on looking at the poll.

MY 35'S ARE EVERDAY TYRES ON MY 110, AND DRIVES JUST FINE ON THE ROAD, IT HAS A NEW 3.9 V8 AND PULLED IT EASILY UPTO 80MPH YESTERDAY, WOULD HAVE GONE MORE BUT SUPPOSED TO BE RUNNING IN!

Bulli · « **Reply #67 on:** October 04, 2007, 21:32:45 »

Guardian, i take it your 110 has a 110 gearbox?? lol + dont forget your speedo is way on the [throw it] with those size tyres..

disco tfr boxes are much higher...which is why its a common mod for discos with bug tyres.

extreme90 · « **Reply #68 on:** October 04, 2007, 23:31:50 »

my 90 is on stock gearing with 35's and goes fine, sits at 70 all day 8) 8)
you need a 200 bulli :twisted: :twisted:

[Edited] do you want 38's for its kin nonsense for general offroading
fit 35's and stop being such a pillock :roll:
you wont break axles gubbings as easy,
you wont spend more time on your side that all 4
you wont have to faff around with gearing just fit a 90 transfer box
wont have to take a load out of the arches
wont need stupid offset wheels
its just silly full stop on cadbury axles :!:

^^ What the (TheBlueySilverThing) said!!! ^^

Going that large is just going to be smashtastic on all your bits of transmission- although landrover transmissions are relatively speaking 'strong' they weren't designed for that kind of punishment.

Even if you go with 33s or 35s it'll still be capable, and driveable (relatively speaking)

As far as I can tell you only need wheels as big as your suggesting if your going to be driving up a glacier, swamp running, if you drive some kind of earthmoving equipment or for those who want to pose!!!!

There was a vehicle for sale (possibly a 110) in a mag a few months ago where someone had put mega wheels on it, and it had just become unusable- surely thats all that will happen with the wheels you suggest too?!

Got 35"s on mine and it goes better than when I had 32" remoulds. I wouldn't want to go any bigger myself as I already need to do some more trimming under the arches.

mine will mate but the economy makes you cry. My point was that the 110 qnd 90 are lower geared than the disco anyway.

mine cruised back from Kirton after a week in the mud laiden will a weeks gear and rooftent!....proof of the pudding and all that....and diesels sound crap! lol

chuggaman · « **Reply #74 on:** October 05, 2007, 17:15:38 »

i used to run on 33s and a 3 inch lift until i bought a set of 36s

i did the following (amongst other mods)

6 inch spring lift on the rear

5 inch spring lift on the front

:idea: i suggest you go buy 38s or larger and show us all how you do it :idea:

i also said the same a whilst back, and it didnt seem to sink in with him :roll: :roll:

its complete and utter rubbish fitting them size tyres, unless you plan on entering the ladoga challenge which i highly doubt,
i think exactly the same as someone else said, you dont need them unless you want to pose

bulli......a v8 is no good for filling chav cars full of soot and smoke :tongue:
just a richness smell, as its only running on 6 or 7 :tongue:

coat, door......running :lol:

no one has a sense of humor on here no more, the sight really has gone down hill

me and mike just like to liven the forums up once in a while :P
as with bulli, it was a perfect oppanunity, but he'll get his own back next time he sees me, he'll fill my scroutineering card full of crosses :lol: :lol:

beatmasterdave · « **Reply #78 on:** October 05, 2007, 19:16:13 »

i think a lot of people are saying that those size tyres arnt really the way forward FOR A REASON! just take into consideration what they are saying, they may have been (or been close) there before, and know the limitations of the truck. obviously amercians love beefing stuff up, which is great. but there's a lota work gone into all that kit, like sub frame thingy-majigs and all that.

as far as i know im not doing the scruitineering at Tong...im hoping not anyway lol

CNorman · « **Reply #80 on:** October 06, 2007, 08:20:57 »

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

Guardian. · « **Reply #83 on:** October 06, 2007, 18:40:28 »

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.

here is 38s in action and the tyre what started all this

extreme90 · « **Reply #85 on:** October 06, 2007, 18:51:51 »

did you not see the pound signs behind them ? for the 4pin diffs, h/d cv's, h/d shafts ??

you really are being daft with tyre size for land rovers cadbury axles :roll: :roll: :roll:
so your going to spend 700 ish quid on tyres
then another 2k on beefing the axles up, just so you dont break somthing going up a kerb, let alone offroad :roll:

get a grip will you, you dont need them size of tyres for the uk

[Edited] people have only just started 37 inch tyres for challenges :shock: , and they need portal axles to run them and they stillbreak portals :roll:

The mud club massive are not usually wrong mate so if i were you i would read,ponder,then think,this is utter madness save your money and buy a tractor!!! my veiw is that to put huge tires and lift her as much as that you better start thinking about your advert on ebay for spares or repair :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: and besides that,and i think im speaking for the majority here,what skill if any would you require to drive it?the answer is none,only the ability plant your right foot and maybe steer!!A fella that turns up in a standardish truck and out performs the heavly modded gets more respect from me than mr throw as much cash at it as you can.there has to be a huge amount of ability to out perform the modded trucks and i should know my disco is standard and has to compete with jacked up 90s and 110s oh and a rangie with thousands spent on it!!!!some of these i have driven and belive me it almost ruined my passion for lanning because nothing was a challenge any more!everytime you go out and get stuck or make a silly decsion you learn from it ,you wont because you wont get stuck!!!!can you see my point of veiw?dont get me wrong here i love landys with sensible mods but is this a sensible idea?could leave you nuts deep in mud and not being able to get pulled out because no one can get anywhere near you :oops: :oops: :oops: red faced you!!!still mate if you are going to go ahead good luck to you :lol: ill be watching ebay,could do with a bargin :D :D :D
