You ought to consider sorting yourself out with a viable spare wheel option as well. Unless of course that road tyre on the spare is the same size as your MT's... but I'm assuming from the wheel arch chop that this probably isn't the case.

If you get a puncture whilst you are out and about you are going to be in difficulty as putting different circumference tyres on the same axle will wind up the transmission resulting in your differential saying "see ya"! Ask me how I learned this!

By the way where abouts are you located because if you are getting shot of them Disco steels I would be interested as I have alloys and you have to take them off to remove half shafts which is a bit of a PITA!

It looks a nice tidy old 3 door TBF...

its not a road tyre on the spare its just a very very worn out bf mud terrain lol yeah im going to be getting a new spare when ive sorted new rims as ill buy a set of 5 and then get another tyre but will most likely have to go on the roof rack as it wont fit on the door lol,

yeah i know all about diffs and transfer boxs breaking  lol my mate has gone through 9 diffs and an arb diff locker in 6 months lol and 2 transfer boxes lmao,

yeah it is quite clean tbh the chassis has never been welded and was  almost completely solid everywhere ive looked, and yeah ill  let u know about the wheels and im located in rushden near santa pod raceway cheers for comment

Hi

Yes now I look closer I can see it is a BFG MT!

Rushden is not a million miles from em so would gladly relieve you of them disco steels when the time comes.

I have the all in one unit that has recovery points and hi-lift jacking points built in. Slides inside the chassis rails.

Got mine secondhand from Sodbury sort out. Came off a Range Rover.

They are a PITA to fit but I rate them highly.

Mine has had some serious abuse but still going strong.

Hi Marcus

Mudrat has a steering guard for sale - listed in the sales/wants/auction bit.

It's off a 300, so not sure if the mounting points are the same... think they should be,
