What has made you Happy today??

[jay see]

Had my son pick up a new starter motor for his car 02 subie..

Walked in from work at 6.30 and was sitting down having dinner at 7.15 job done..

Makes it really easy when the starter is nice and high.

after 20+ years, also christened the garage floor on saturday. 8.2 litres of old diesel oil spilt, coz someone forgot to pull out the oil bucket before they backed out of the shed.

You have a good excuse though.
When I drained the cooling of mine, buckets ready to hold it all and I still managed to spill about 80% of it to the floor, to which the missus pissed me the whole week saying "now you know how it is to go to the bathroom after you" LOL.

"kitty litter" is handy to have on hand for garage spills...

looking at tyres.
currently got kenda RX sometings, quite impressed, but wear quickly.
always liked the look of goodyear duratracs.
if you havn't seen 'em, look at the kuhmo mt71 mud tyres, they're pretty chunky.
bfg muds have a bad name atm, ones made in thailand only getting 15000-20000 kms.
everything so bloody expensive.
some coopers going for $500+
nittos, unknown 5 years ago, $400+ now
dunno???????????????????????????

Mud? Sand? Road?

If a general a/t "nankang" brand are the best cheapy brand i've found, hard compound (long wearing on the tarmac) no comment on grip or offroad performace.

I've got some kumho ATs punching on for 2.5 years (~600km/week laden with builders kit, 50/50 gravel/tarseal with the odd sand/mud at weekends) and they still have a quarter inch tread...

I found the old bfg KM2 brilliant in mud, got fair mileage out of them given how lazy i was swapping them off for highway use, and they'd hang onto the bead right down at 10psi and just created traction everywhere, could drive up a tree with em.
They -are- what the baja boys run, and not just cos they getem for free. 7 ply(?) sidewall...

Got some maxxis razr muds which haven't seen too much work, scrubbed off a lot of og tread within 1 year but still presenting nice and chunky. Haven't had them aired down or anything.

[10G]

probably just a 50/50 tyre I guess, but could end up with anything.
had a look at some maxxis tyres, geez louise, too pricey for me.
looked at some haida tyres, chinese unknowns, better specs than many, get a set of 4 for under $1K. 10 ply.
you have to wonder what you pay for sometimes, it's only bloody rubber and steel and other types of rubber and nylon and other stuff.
i'd like to get some bfg's but apparently if you get the taiwan or thailand made ones, they're real crap, plus they're dear
oh well, 1st world problems hey.

Originally us Hillian’s were BFG KM1 & 2 Muddy weekend fanboys in the day and KO1 & 2 AT’s weekday working Patrols with proven longevity/performance success.
Pricing/availability wise most Hillian’s are moving to Maxxi’s now, AB’s had the AT Razr 811’s on his work Navara for some time so I copied too on mine and are very impressed so far with their slippery highway grip even though they are a paddock grassy top performing home tyre.
I would personally class the AT811 as a 65/35 AT, perfect for my personal needs
