£680 lighter.

[exosteve]

But worth every penny.
15x10 deep dish rims with-38 offset and 33" tyres:D:D:D

[exosteve]

Feels much more stable due to shifting the centre of gravity

[zippy656]

Suspention lift?

Body lift?


Arch cut?

[elty001]

Looking good mate but I already know that as I was with you :lol

And yes a fair bit of hacking

What wheels have come off?

I'm looking for a set of 15" modulars to replace the horrible 16" SVE Terrano II wheels that came fitted to my new truck as I have a nearly new set of BFGoodrich's at home that will be going on it once some wheels have been found

[daniel2609]

its too clean!

Wheels are 15" steel modulars with zero offset in gunmetal grey.
But they will be sold as a set with tyres.stt cooper discoverer 31s
They will be cleaned to a high quality/and posted on here for just a day or two before eBay.

I dunno dude, it's still missing a mirror in those pics :naughty :clap

[elty001]

Didn't even fold mine in and they are still attached :nenau

Yours didn't fall over though :lol

Nice looking Truck and wheels.
Unless there is something wrong with my applied Phyisics a suspension lift raises the centre of gravity making it more likely to tip over so widening the track just puts you closer to where you started except for some extra ground clearance ?

[exosteve]

Tread on the coopers is good and evenly worn.
They got at least 12k on them.

Pm me if your interested

Yes

[exosteve]

But also gives better traction from better articulation.better attack and departure angles.
More sill clearance on rock climbing/descending.
And keeping my comfort

Basically yes but with -38 offsets that puts the track nearly 80mm wider than stock. Add on a bit for the wider tyre so in the region of 120mm o/a wider than stock. CofG has gone up yes but it's not very high in the first place. I don't know exactly the ht of CofG but suggest the net effect will be a little more stable than stock :)

:D:D:D

[russell.huffer]

3" suspension lift your cv shop must love you! not so sure on Nissan but know from owning Troopers with torsion bars that 3" lift ment very short cv joint life.

Does look good though and agree that widening track has helped massively and extra clearance is always a godsend, so will be a much more capable truck, also as winter approaches and the lanes get wetter with tyres that size you have the option to float accros the puddles...


Kind regards

Russell.

[Barrbeast]

Looking awesome Steve :thumbs

Makes me want some steelies more than ever :naughty

[elty001]

Torsion bars are only wound up 2".any more than that puts them into self destruct mode.
Have run a 4 of these trucks with 2" lift and never broke a cv yet( touch wood)
:thumb2

[Sweety]

Your truck is looking fantastic Steve:thumbs

[Lincs Mav]

Very smart mate..

Cheers Gav

[rustic]

Now... Don't take this as a serious suggestion...:lol:lol

Don't put the dampener on this one,
if you wanted to lower your centre of gravity some more...
You could fill the tyres with water....:augie

There would be no give though...:doh

It would be a pig in the winter if you didn't put antifreeze in as you would have a flat on the tyre at the bottom when the water froze...:eek:


:lol:lol:lol

Some farmers actually put water in their tractor tyres as a way of getting more weight on the wheels. They put in a mixture of water and antifreeze and then top up with air.

Oh there we go rustic was on the money afterall :lol

I have some good ideas, but trying to explain that to Mr Kwikfit, first he needs a fork lift to remove the wheel, and then it leaves a trail of water to the tyre remover...

Make a good youtube clip though... :lol:lol

I would love to see this happen :naughty

[Barrbeast]

I have seen the state of a fitter after he removed a tyre from a rim without being told it was water filled :lol

[elty001]

Used to do this on some of the tractors we used to run if we didn't have enough weights for the weight frame on the front.
Was only a short term thing though.wouldn't recommend running tyres with water everyday.
