Tyres like boggers/simex are good in heavy clay mud but as you can see I am on rock, Goodyear MT/R's and BFG KM2's will piss on any extreme tyre on rock or sand. Skinny 35/10.50/15 Simex might be good a cutting through mud when there is a hard surface underneath but you need a wider tyre for floatation and a less aggressive pattern when you don't what to cut through on a bottomless bog, so there is no such thing as a right tyre for all occasions.
Your discovert is awsome... brutal... the best, and most equipped than ever see. the next step is put a winch in a back(rear bumper) In portugal, the acessories,is very expensive. now, i want put , 2 amp apline pdx digitals , woofer alpine, 4 alpine with crossover, and the font is alpine to. i don´t write english very well. sorry about that...
Damn! That thing looks good! Im thinking about buying a 1997 Disco. I dont really know much about them but I hear they have to be maintenanced a lot. What do you think about them?
Disco's are good if looked after, people fit £2 wheel bearings and then complain when they break and then blame the car they need to get a grip a 2.5 ton 4x4 on a cheap chinese tin foil wheel bearing what do they expect, the Jap stuff is more relieable because you can't buy cheap rubbish parts like you can for Landy's.
Hi Hillbillycol, the tyres are standard 29" 235/75/16 remolds that have covered 150,000 miles so a bit low on grip, my suspension is completely standard just have heavy duty anti roll bars to keep it level. Everything else is completely standard, it does ok off road not quite upto the same standard as some of the Isuzu Troopers I have seen.
I have 235/85/16 tyres on mine and they are quite a bit smaller than yours. You must have bigger tyres fitted that that?!
Also, I don't think you'd get those big tyres on there without a 2" lift at least. I needed a 2" lift to comfortably fit my 235/85/16s and as I said they're quite a bit smaller than yours.
4" body lift, true 4" suspension lift, custom front radius arms, Jonny jointed 18" extended rear trailing arms, 2.8 HS International running bigger VNT turbo head work and tuned pump with JJ Fearn full intercooler, Front and rear Pegged 4.11 diffs with uprated ARB 128's and 300m Shafts and 4030 CV's, custom made props with JCB UJ's, Safety Devices Roll cage and roof rack, Warn XP's with marlow rope front and rear custom made winch bumpers, Alpine media centre and Playstation-
