I've got this one as recommended to me by Roadrunner

Will that be big enough to fit both ends of a say tree trunk protector?Quote:

Yes it is heaps bigger than a standard hook.
How tall will that make it? 33/35?? Looks good.Quote:

Had a custom airfoil plate made for the cross country intercooler, will post some pics tomorrow as its a bit dark now. I had an alloy plate cut and two foils twisted to drop air onto the intercooler to see if it will be of benefit on egr temps, you will see what I mean when I throw up the pics.
Checked tyre pressures.
Keen on seeing this mate. My cooler is soon to arrive too.Quote:

Thanks mate. They're 33's. They are definitely bigger than the BFG KM2's in the same size I had on there previously.Quote:

Or the actual tyre diameter is measured not including tread depth? And the Hankooks have a deeper tread. Also 285's are closer to 32.5inch and the 305's are the old 33's. But its half an inch. Meh!Quote:

Even tough I have not actually measured them, you can see they are a larger diameter than the BFG's even though they are both 285/75/16. My BFG's still had about 9-10mm of tread before I changed over to the hankooks, so not overly worn down. I also have the hankooks in 315/75/16 and when parked next to a mate of mines Patrol wearing the same size tyre, 315/75/16's but in BFG KM2's you can quite clearly see that the hankooks are larger. I'm not saying there's a huge difference but it is definitely noticeable. Oh and I do understand that a 285/75/16 is closer to a 32.5" but we generally refer to them as 33's. Actually come to think of it, before I had the BFG's I had MT MTZ's in 285's and I remember thinking then that the BFG's looked smaller than the MTZ's they just replaced.Quote:

I've found them pretty good on the blacktop in the rain too lately, considering they have no siping. I have to admit that the BFG's are a little better in the mud though.
Yes he will, he can't read and he's up north, maybe back todayQuote:

Each manufacturer has different sizes, actually a 285 is the same diameter as the old 7.50 x 16 which is a 33"Quote:

some say its 33.2 so again look at the specs, some have a larger rolling diameter than others.
My 33x12.5 x15 Mongrels were in fact a 34' x 13", so you never can tell,
Dont bother John. Just take the vac hose off the actuator for the swirl valve if you want. It stays open when the engine is off. Just block the hose if you take it off.Quote:

I forgot about the stubby stick. Doh.
Note to self..... Read the owner's manual and find out what it's used for. PML.
Seriously, lots of rain everywhere, so "Take care out there"

Removed the stupid honeycomb heater element from the rb30 carby spacer, lucky I did as I found a fuel line nearly split and the element had a couple of bits broken off already. I guess they've already been through the motor some time back. As for the power increase, it's amazing, it's like a new car, revs so much better, can not believe I didn't do it sooner!
Also fixed my rear guard flare that I nearly tore off yesterday when a tree next to the track jumped out and attacked me 😀
Put my BOSS coil braces in

Put in the spacer blocks for my airbags due to the lift.

Painted up all my new adjustable arms to fix up my pinion angle and a few other things

I just looked at mine and wondered if its ever gonna be.
