I would like to do this level of resto on an SJ but on an 04 Jimjam... That's commitment. Especially as you're gonna drive it through goo after, but it will protect it from the goo. Just try not to wince the first time you do.

I'd consider the Maxxis Trepadors.
On other forums they're getting lots of positive comments.

I'd still go for the Trepadors :-)

Have a look in the Devon4x4 thread I linked to.
