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!


We use these towing bridles from machine mart

Little pic taken this morning before driving to work.

The white suzuki behind mine belongs to a chap a few doors down. Got chatting with him the other day and it turns out he's got 5 of them! and one he showed me has was turning into a 6 wheeler!

also as requested by DutchJimny pic on spade carrier/holder



Anyone got any other ideas for tires?

Stick some 215 80 15s on it... thats what mine are.

Also, mine are Insa Turbo Sahara's but seem fine on the road...

Well looks like I'm going to go for some of these for day to day and light off road use

www.yokohamatire.com/tires/detail/geolandar_a_t_s

Probably in a 215 width but I got a price of 60quid each for 195's from the garage at the end of my road (get a slight discount for living on the street) which didn't seem too bad as I've seen them elsewhere for nearly 100 each!

Forget that last post they now can't get the tires!

Now I'm thinking of 225/75/r15's as that should bring the overall diameter to just over 28" if I've done my maths correctly!

Never thought buying tires would be so confusing! just want to get it right as it's a lot of money if its not right! :unsure:
