In brief, HUGE thanks to TAFF over at AULRO for his expert help - well he actually did 99% of the job - in installing some nice shiny blue(!) Lovells +2" springs all round. Gave loads of room under the arches, which just HAD to be filled with some new rubber, but couldn't justify the cost!
UNTIL.....my last trip out with a few great WA-AULROians over Easter weekend, when I unexpectedly ripped a sidewall on some limestone capping, resulting in a huge ripped rear tyre.
After a bit (well, a lot actually!) of groveling to SWMBO I managed to get some brand spanking new 235/85R16 Hankook RT-03's (thanks for the advice BEEFY, and the spare tyre - yes, AULRO again!).
Very nice aggressive looking muddies. This size is standard Defender size tyres, and fit a treat under the arches, looking pretty huge, but not so much that it doesn't "look proper", if you know what I mean. Pics on the AULRO site (link)
And just yesterday, finished my homemade CDL actuator install, again, details and some pics can be found at the AULRO site (link)
Now just need to get out and see if all this CDL talk is as good as they all reckon it is.....!!
Oh yeah, and again thanks to TAFF for letting me buy his "half roof cage" and bars.
Fantastic price and looking almost like a real tourer now!
The Disco's in for a service next week so she's gonna be sweet as nut for the next trip out!
Muddies + CDL + V8 + Sand = FUN to the max! Bring it on....
