Agreed the Grabbers are the best all round tires that I have used. :)

I think the grabbers might be a bit expensive for the amount of off roading I will be doing.

Grabbers vs BFG All Terrains though? BFG's have a fairly wide ranging reputation from being bulletproof expedition tyres. The ones on my old work L200 lasted 65k miles, on something as light as a Jimny I'd imagine they are a tyre for life! :side:

EDIT: Allan you got a guide for positioning your electrics there anywhere, I love it.

Sorry mate didn't do any pic's. I just removed the original one as it was knackered. Made a small hole in the bumper to re-route the wires through and screwed on a new socket. Took about 15 mins. :) If I tare this one off something has really gone wrong.

I'd second this, but I think we are all biased to the tyres we run. I used my last set of BFGs for 45,000 miles then sold them for £200 as part worns with over 7.5mm of tread. Forking out £115/tyre for the new ones is the only painful bit but long term they are definitely worth it.

Drill the mounting holes, feed the wire out and then wire it all up and mount it! Really simple and looks clean and neat.
