My Chiffon Ivory JB74 SZ5 - blog/mods/build thread

Ooh worm drive maxxis. Be interesting to hear a proper review on these.

Got them from Camskill.

Looking good mate! In terms of kerb appeal and bang for buck those worm drives are definitely as attractive as BFG's. Whats next on the list, surely a lift kit?!

They don't look far off being a mud terrain tread in my inexperienced eyes.

Thanks

Next month I think I'll be getting some more underbody protection. Transfer plate and radius arm protectors. Not much kerb appeal, but practical.

Also thinking about some mud flaps. I like the red ones. But a bit pricey direct from Suzuki, so might punt for some off ebay. Undecided as of yet.

Few other things I'm considering too. But a lift kit is definitely one of them. But not for a couple of months. I like the look of the Black Raptor Pro kit from Jimnybits, just wish I could find at least one person with it. Ironman4x4 also seem to offer a fairly comprehensive kit also. But having a hard time finding full specs out or pricing.

I would definitely say they are on the more aggressive end of the scale for an All Terrain. And some Mud Terrains are not really anymore aggressive looking. They have 12mm of tread but the block spacing isn't as big as you'd find on most MT's.

I will be honest, I did also consider something like a BFG MT KM3, they look superb, but are even more than the BFG AT's to buy and looking at the specs quite a big heavier too for the same size. Very aware that this is meant to be my daily driver and a fair chunk of on-road work, I decided an AT was a better fit. But I wanted something that would still look the part.

My view of MT's is more akin to the stuff I run on my Land Rovers, which generally are things like this:
