For sale: 1998 J105 in exceptional condition. For anyone unfamiliar, the J105 is an OEM combo of J100 body & J80 coil-sprung F&R solid axle chassis; sold in mainly Australian, African, South American and Russian markets. Was a 1 owner vehicle; AUS National Fire Service logistics truck. It was...

Copy thx. I expect to need to go down to 15psi in some sand.

Six can’t air down much when needed.

Also, since finding a tire shop to touch Hutchinson 3pc/split-rims is proving to be challenging, I’m searching for tire shops across the country who will touch Hutchinson’s. Can anyone advise on tire shops they know will work with Hutchinson 3pc/beadlock/split-rims? THANK YOU!!

Well…if I were already looking at new wheels and/or tires, if there was a lighter or more serviceable option, I’d do that. Now, doesn’t make much sense to spend $5-7k+ on wheels just to save weight, but I agree with Stench that selling used tires already on wheels might entice more people than...

Agreed!!

Awesome, thx for sharing!

A/T’s are more durable than street compound, but you don’t want the A/T too hard else they won’t grip at street pressure or when aired down (case in point my Michelin XZL’s or Continental MPT81’s—both military tires, yet when aired down they don’t grip terrain like a Toyo OpenCountry AT3 does)...

Agreed. Re milking money from Porsche owners, by not looking at the costs of new Porsche option, you’ll “keep your lunch.” Back to overland stuff…
