Doh!

Common sense left at the door that time  ;)

I'd really think about wheel spacers and arches before you do anything else, I've done similar to my truck, less the stickers, and spacers just made things primarily a little more stable, and secondly it looks better.

Just a thought. Also how does that back box cope with the water, if it fills up you'll have 30 gallons of extra weight under the rear bumper  :-.

damm that will teach me to fit the thing at night. , i was wondering how u got a alloy wheel with jack mount on standard treads. :doh: :doh: :doh:

do like the idea of wheel spacer but i was wondering would the archs fail to cover 265s mud tyres with spacers on  :-k

Use an extra set of nuts to hold the jack mount to the wheel carrier then put the wheel on the another set of nuts, there's plenty of thread

Did you smoke the rear clusters yourself? If so how did you do it and how poor is the lighting now?

Thinking I might subtley do it to mine- as the disco is black- Think it would look quite neat on mine!

Be careful, if the illumination isn't good enough you may fall foul of the law, maybe time to upgrade to LED bulbs,
