    Why skinny tires

    How are they 34" tyres Scott? Im assuming your reffering to the KM2's, which on the BFG website states they are 33.3 in diameter.....unless someone has some real world measurement on a rim inflatedthat shows they are actually more than this? 33.3 doesnt round of to 34........

    Hilux_Max's New D4D Hilux from OZ

    Once that was taken care of, Jeff began his decent very slowly down the track, with me guiding him.....the ruts were trying to drag the hilux into the side of the embankment and he got to the bottom with only some scrathces on his mirror. I didn't want to let him go down by himself so I...

    Hilux_Max's New D4D Hilux from OZ

    We did this one hill climb that was abit more challenging than the expected....not only slippery but there were alot of exposed tree roots running across the tracks that kept dragging the vehicle to one side..... One of the blokes thought he'd explore a track he saw on the out skirts of one...

    Anyone with a RTT set up with a Topper

    You could easily fabricate some sort of support frame that sits within the "topper" itself and bolts to the floor of the tub.....then whatever RTT you decide to fit, just drill holes through the topper into the frame itself and mount it like this. it would be low profile and very strong. just...

    Any chance you can run a tape measure when you get these Bighorns over the tyre once aired up and off the vehicle? I'd just like to compare what the "actual" diamter is to the "stated" diamter on the website. Why I ask this is because on TTORA forum, a couple of blokes that have bought...
