body lift is needed have to remove mud flaps then have to let mr angle grinder and mrs hammer have a chat around the front wheel arches and mr angle grinder need to trim the front bumper, you will need to mod fron and rear bumper for them to fit properly, the front bumper wont fit back on and back bumper will just look silly (i call it the saggy arse effect) the tyres i have cost about £137 a corner new but u can get a set on ebay alot cheaper if you get part worns.

all details of what i dont to mine are in my sig, but because i went overkill on my body lift i had to attack the inside of the truck around the transfer lever so i could get it into 4low, that pic there i'm actualy in 4high as i hadn't modded the lever yet

fuel econimy?
tread wear lifetime?will they do more than 3k on tarmac?
oh and road noise?
and whats the cost of a 3inch jack up kit?
ive got a good hammer and a very worn grinder.
i might need more info on where to whack and cut and pray for no rusty or easy snappy bits.
and like all my new hobbys I usualy get carried away,blow a small fortune.
but this time its the one and only toy in the family.
and also its the family go anywhere car that I rely on for work rest and play.
fuel for work doesnt cost so much as its tax deductable,
I can go and collect my earnings even in blizzard conditions,its versitile enough with the seating arangments for adventure camping trips.
i love my trerrano.
