Mr.Roboto Shogun! My 2005 Montero Limited

[TerrenceLP]

Hello again,

Would the combo work?

275/75-17 BGF ko/2
17x8 ET10 4.4" Backspace Enkei ST6

Should fit nice even on stock. Pushes the wheels to the fenders no spacers.

Or am I way off?

 

[TerrenceLP]

Or

285/70-17
17x9 ET0 4.5" Backspace


Also - what are the crush washer sizes for the front, Rear & Transfer Case drain and fill plugs?

Spacers won't help with the rubbing of the front splash guard. Ultimately I did the OME HD lift and 1.5" spacers and that fixed all my rubbing issues and gave me full u-turn back. Think I could have gotten away with 1" spacers but I like the looks. 1.5" pushed my tires even with the outer edge of the fender flare.

I'd be interested in pics of the 285's with ome if you have any

So right, this get's me thinking.

30mm spacers - stock 17x7.5 ET 46mm = ET 16mm

ET 0 17x8 - should look sick! Although a ET 10 on a 17x8 would be perfect.

How you guys feeling about Rally Armor UR Plus Mud Flaps?

The No-Hardware doesn't scare me - http://www.rallyarmor.com/product_info.php/urethane-mud-flaps-red-universal-plus-mud-flap-white-logo-p-340

More Rally/Raid

Love the look of Montero/Pajero with flaps.

Great homage to their history and though many have lamented the "Ricer" aspect, I think they look the business.

In they process of designing a QD set for my '01. I have daily access to Moab, and the flaps are extremely practical for most our the "overland" style dirt tracks, however, flaps are also nearly guaranteed trail damage on our "crawlier routes" Blanks from Susquehanna Motorsports are the way to go for many, or sourced yourself from a specialty plastics dealer if you are the fearless DIY type.

Rallyarmor mudflaps are well-regarded by the rally crowd. I'm a fan of them but I think the JAOS flaps are the most appropriate (and expensive) option. They have a simple strap/line to keep you from reversing over them in rough terrain, but for rocks I think a removable mud flap would be best.

 

[TerrenceLP]

If rock crawling I agree that Flaps could pose a problem -

But I don't see any rock crawling any time soon for Mr. Roboto

The Jaos flaps makes me want to get into the flap business!

The Strap attachment would be easy as pie if I wanted to add to the Rally Armor, but the key there is starting with good durable plastic.
That is why for a set of 4, $130 is a great deal.

Now the question - What Color!

Red with White logo?

Black with Red or white or Gray logo> I'm thinking Black with Red logo

Hellz Yeah Dude!
MF 1 Mud flap, Black, or Red, .125 thick Urethane 12" x 18" - $101 for 4 shipped - Not Bad

I'm curious to see the Rally Armour UR Plus next to these - they spec out the same.

The UR mud flaps are an inch taller (19" vs 18"). If you're careful about placing your pattern to conserve material, you'd probably save the most money buying the material by the foot from Susquehanna here:

Add some rivnuts and stainless hardware and you're in business.

Wow, $130 for a set of mud flaps. MUD FLAPS.

No thanks. I'm very happy with my heavy-duty, 1/4" neoprene flaps. I think the material cost was like $12 or something....

 

[TerrenceLP]

Those are cool, but are they rally bred cool?

Hummmm :ylsmoke:
