the silverstones (as with the centipedes) are a skinnier tyre. 36" are only 10.5" wide and arent really designed to be bagged out with wide rims. They have very strong sidewalls. The centipedes are the weapon of choice for the malaysian jungle rallys.Quote:

yeah i reckon the side biters work better with more pressure in the tyre.
I had some 33" extreme jungle trekkers on the old MQ shorty. Man they are a great tyre:)
Here's some photos of my weekend, full trip report in the Trips and Treks section.

Got the spotties on and wired up. Bright as! They sit really far forward so I'm gonna make a plate to make them sit further into the bar

Yeah need to move them back to keep the blue boys happy.
What colour did you go with??
Also up the size of those eye bolts you're just on the limit with them,
ideally M20 or better.
Back to your lights, If you're into night drives highly recommend a LED bar
Really looking the goods from the first few pics with the white wall tyres, keep it up buddy
Nice branch snaggers winnie:)
They'll light up all those honey filled hives ay poo! Noice
Double Tap
Those eyebolts are not used in recovery or anything, Millweld give a warning when you buy the bar, they say there are basically there to hang your winch hook on.Quote:

Lucas at least I have something to mount the lights on, get your bar on already!!!
Growler, that's the idea!
Just PM when you want a BAR will work out something in your favour.
Now where are your front recovery points??? Just up grade the eye bolt Cheap as Strong as
AS per pic this is strong as, mate and thats M20 eye nut not bolt
I've got two hooks of this type on the front, you can see it in that photo under the eyebolts.

So it should be on tomorrow with winch all ready to go too?
Go easy with those hooks, I have bucket full of broken ones from testing, not my choice its only chinese iron
we need to talk buddy. They will straighten and they will snap off just be wary please
Fawwwk these lights are bright. Went for a little night run tonight, got one spot one spread beam. Will be even brighter with the 55W HID kit I ordered today. Got a couple ideas to mount the in further, one is super easy but might not work, the other is just easy but will work.

Yo mate what colour did you end up getting, noticed you have blue covers so I'm thinking you brought
10,000k to 15,000k colour globes?
Oh god no! I got 6000k,anything above that is useless.

Nice lookin rig mate
Yo, mate this is what you need on the front bit stronger than M20, these are M24. used this in the towbar . Perfect for the front of yours
Size wise RHS is 50mm
How would I bolt that on? Lol I'm happy to do a recovery off the hooks I've got, never do big snatches anyway.
Put the HIDs through the Lightforce tonight and holy moley!!!!!!!
Hid ceehrtainly best thing to happen in a while, awesome light output. ah shit forgot to get light bar pic of street at night.
When I get back, I like hooks to, not a big fan of shackle recoveries, just something else to let go.
Yeah I try to avoid big snatches to
I don't thikn I'm gonna need a light bar any more, didn't realise just how bloody bright these HIDs would be! Car comes along, turn high beams off "shyt where'd the sun go?"
Only thing is might take these blue covers back now because 6000k lights and the blue covers is a bit too blue, was good with the halogens going through them but think the HIDs have the same effect so will go to clear ones.
You still need a light bar for the 2 seconds it takes for your HIDs to warm up though surely, better safe than sorry you know.
You cant have too much light you know!Quote:
