AaaHaaa!!! I've been looking at these recently too for my Patrol do you know if they will fit standard rims with standard suspension ( I'm not so sure ) ???

 

[makeitfit]

I dont know much about the Patrol's underskirts:augie
What width rims have you got? Mine are 8 1/2":sly
KL71 305/70/16 works out at about 12" wide by a tad under 33", so they may go on as there seems more space on yours than the T2
Have a look in the gallery I seem to remember some shiney new one there with 33s on:thumbs

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

i've just done a google image search, very nice, what are they like for road noise, and i know its a bit sooon to tell, fuel economy?
