CAE's Daily Jim

New (to me) wheels came today, picked up from Thorntons 4x4/CAM Suzuki for ~£20/wheel delivered. Must say they arrived soon enough, so don't have any of the complaints I've heard others say about that company and its shipping service(s).

Just need to refurb them a bit, going to take the tyres off and dispose of them, grind down the fronts & paint, will likely just use a rust converter/encapsulator on the rear as I am not fussed about the finish there. There going to be gloss black wrapped in GG AT3s when I am done with them.

Also had the windows done last week, 5% on the back three, so now I look like the worlds ruralist drug dealer. :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: looking good

Yeah, I haven't been using the pictures of yours for inspiration. Honest. :side:

:laugh: :lol: :lol: :lol: look forward to seeing the next mods then

Wheels and tyres done. They came up great in Hammerite smooth black after I had taken the dremal to all the rusty bits. The GG AT3s in 205/75r15 really fill the arches so much better than those little bridgestones ever did. Difference in grip is almost immediately noticable.

Next job is more boring, kingpin bearings, swivel seals and a big service. Front diff is pissing oil out of both swivel seals and the 4wd system doesn't work at all at this point so the new bearings are becoming rather urgent. .

love black wheels
