Ultimate Adventure entry requirements are 35"+ tyres :whistle:
Whats the beardy bloke in the battered SJ called? he did fairly well from memory
Ring & pinion gearing will be the more reliable method of achieving huge tyres (excepting the poor R&P, diff & shafts), but even then the wheel offset will need to be massive. Expect turning circle and fuel consumption to be equally massive :laugh:
Does the white one pictured have axles from a Lard-rover or other wider track & heavier vehicles? ~ some unimog portal axles would be good :whistle:

Tim Hardy. He's a legend. Loads of cool innovations like using a forklift planetary gearset on the transfer box prop for massive gear reduction, and I think he was one of the first to do a "virtual lift". He also has self-clearancing sills. I.e. the more dents they get from hitting stuff, the more clearance he gains. One year he did the whole thing with a trailer on.
