Finally it's not standard

Finally got my new wheels on ( bumper trim was planned for later, but had to do it now to get the wheels on, at least the approach angle is better ) Lift still to be done, saving for a wedding doesn't help modding plans If you're thinking about putting a facelfit bumper on and can find one, don't bother. You're better off with out it :laugh:

Where the problems started, jacked up wheels free, bumper trim brought forward



Spare bits...

after



Rubber's Toyo Open Country 215 / 75. Not had a chance to play with them in the dirt yet, but hopefully be OK. Was originally planning for BFG KM2 but being quoted between £104 and £153 a piece... :sick: same story on Hankook RT03 and Kumho KL71...:S These are £76 from black circle

Looking good!.

Cheers supergaz ! This is my daily driver so I can't go to daft with it. +2" inch is next as looks like I can do it cheaper than +3. If any one is running a 3" lift on the road how does it handle ? I went from a Shogun to the Jimny and even after 18 months it's still bloody scary in a side wind on standard suspension :woohoo:

like the 'Flying Dutchman' :sick: (but thats 5")

:laugh: Nice one Darth. I'm having to use the same approach to the Tay / Friarton / Forth bridges in a proper wind at the mo as I am to side side slopes; then tightness of my ass is a good guide if it's do-able or not :silly:

Only other issue since the wheels went on is MAJOR steering wheel shake about 40, hoping it's just wheel balance and not death wobble

might be worth checking your track rod ends for play as well as the muds may be showing up any wear
ours went from OK to horrendous after one fairly strenuous pay and play ( front wheels in the air a few times)
