Currently have 31 x 10.5's. Can I get 35's on there? Any that are recommended for tarmac and soft sand?

3 litre v6, yummy.

got a picture of your wagon?

Heroes Legend · 09-11-2010, 10:26

I swear I'll post pics if someone can help me out

And one more question - recommend safari roof racks given my truck has no runners? Not keen drilling holes n shit everywhere as it'll become a mobile swimming pool when it rains..

extreme-4x4 · 09-11-2010, 10:34

the early r3m had the t2 suspension. torsion bars you might get 2" lift winding them up . but the later ones after 96 had coils. for coiled it can be lifted more but you will need to look into australian suppliers , they seem to do a lot more of that kind of thing.

i recon 33" will go on without too many problems although you might need to trim a few bits of plastic slightly.

i had 35" on my t2 . it can be done depending on how much you want to cut off or spend on suspension

now pics lol

Now, with regard to tyres..do you recommend Maxxis, BFG's, or some other brand?

Thomas-the-Terrano2 · 10-11-2010, 23:20

avoid bfg they are notorious for being hard to ballance. also i had a email today from someone who managed to find a spring lift kit for a r3m . fitting it soon .
