Now my Jimny!

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationWell I recently bought little ooky!

And I think she's fantastic! been driving her everyday not so much off yet but still getting lots of use.

want to ask a question about tires before I go on with anything else...

With the rocklobster transfer box, the road wheels are too small for the gearing but I can't really use the off road wheels everyday as it's still my daily driver!

So I was thinking about keeping the proper off road wheels and tires for pay and play days. and then get some A/T tires for day to day and occasional green laining.

So I wanted to get peoples opinions on different tires i was thinking a tire size of 195/80/r15 to get my rolling radius up.

Haven't got loads of spare cash at the mo as I've only just bought her so was thinking along these lines...



Also where do you get decent tow straps from? I've seen quite lot on eBay but unsure of the quality, as I've found some heavy weight towing eyes at work which I'm going to make fit on me Jimny!

I was going to tint the back windows and eventually take the back seats out. I also made a spade carrier on the inside of the rear door. apart from that I'm just going to enjoy her for a bit!

I would defo like to see a pic of the spade carrier!

I'll try and up load one tomorrow, It's very basic Got 3 strips of double sided velcro and riveted them in place with washers either side to stop the rivets pulling through the velcro and pulling out of the plastic inner door card.

The spade its self is pretty small, its a British ww2 one with a folding head which I've had since I was about 12 and dug many a hole with!

For tow straps try www.bits4vits.co.uk .

what tire sizing is currently on it now then can advise best choice for your needs

i know the 30's i have for sale were going to be perfect for both (changed as its just a fun car now)

Well the current tires are 205/70/r15's but I think their maybe not wide enough for the rim as they have quite rounded sides if you see what I mean?

It's already had a 2" body and 2" suspension lift and had arches trimmed so clearance isn't a problem, also the rocklobster is geared to run up to 31" tires but I don't want to go that big for daily driving!
