The cooper I got from you is already on the front. I read some reviews on them and from what could find they are a fairly decent tyre for the money so I invested in some some more. When the part worms are dead il get another pair of them, I always like to have mating tyres on my vehicles, don't know if its just me

Wheels painted, 195/80s fitted. The fronts scrub the mud guards on lock so hopefully the lift will sort that out.

Cheers tadpole, it's getting there

Yeh 32mm spacers, I will check for you when I get a chance

They scrub the mudguards as is, no articulation, little bit before full lock.

When you say mudguards im assuming you mean the little mud flaps behind the front wheel and not the arch liners?you planing on removing the ARB for better articulation?

I haven't noticed any rubbing on mine but then I dont have spacers

Yeh mudflaps not arch liner. They might have to be removed its gonna get on my nerves.

Il try it n the road/ off the road as it is then try it without and see which I prefer.
I think it should be ok, the rears look like they will tuck in with rom to spare, can't comment on the fronts until I get it out and test it

No more chrome. 13 years of grime sitting behind these is proving a pain to remove, got the worst of it off, will attack it with the mop tomorow, bit late for power tools now.

Another small update. Sticky number plate. Tinted my rear side windows.

The window tints quite frankly were a bastad! I will redo them at some point because I'm not happy with the way they came out, and when I do I think il go darker with them.

Lift kit bits turned up today big thanks to everyone that I have purchased bits from, you have all been excellent, quick delivery aswell

Cannot wait to get it fitted

The tyres are going to have to wait, I need to source a second set or rims, 7j ideally, then il probably get another pair of the nexens, they aren't extortionately priced new, and the money il have saved should cover the cost of a diff lock or snorkel
