Hey all.. From the Sunshine Coast

[RanGU]

Thanks guys yeh she is a pretty clean truck.. A few things I want to do to clean it up so it's to my standards but I'm happy.. Should be getting a call this morning to pick her up this afternoon pretty bloody excited to be honest!!

Yeh I think I'm going to do a 2in lift and then a set of 33 muds..

What is everyone's tyre brand and size preference?

[Squalo]

Tyre brand and size, LOL

There simply is no correct or consensus answer to that. Do some searches and you'll find what you need, what I will say is that most of the offroad tyre development dollars in the last ten years have gone into mud terrain tyres, which now leave all terrain tyres for dead on tarmac - I wouldn't even consider all terrains if you plan to go offroad every other weekend.

There's a new generation of all terrains starting to come through which will redress that, of course.

285/75R16 is the best size for a GU on 16" rims in my opinion (and drop to a 70 series for a 17" rim).

The biggest question is "white letters in or out", LOL

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum.

I was thinking of having a look at getting some second hand tyres to start with just to try some out to find my preference..

I recently went to 33" and I haven't looked back. I would highly recommend 33" inch tyres. I went the A/T type as I don't 4WD as much as I like and I do a lot of highway driving, if country roads with massive pot holes at 100KM/H can be considered highway. lol
