Mods for 32" tyres.

Not finished this off yet, I want to trial it to see that everything clears properly but it does seem to. When I know its fine I'll do the welding, painting etc as detailed in the photo captions.

Flattening seam - follow photos from HERE and read captions.

I also swung the bumper up a little on its mountings to provide a little more clearance at the front - hopefully this will be all I need to do.

Leave mud flaps off too.

Very interesting HB,are you putting LWB springs on?or are you going higher??

Higher - putting my 2" lift springs on of course - though I'm using the std rate ones not the +20%. Might go higher later - can't decide betwen body lift or more spring lift.

More involved in a body lift i think,with repositioning the front bumper!!
That remins me i need to get my finger out for those springs!!

 

[Terranosaurus]

Above 2" its either body lift or a very involved suspension lift involving dropping cross members and front diff down etc - so probably not a lot in it. Bumpers no problem - I'm making a winch bumper anyway - collecting winch tomorrow actually.

Are you make it from scratch or are you adapting your bumper??
Think you have the same model as me,very interested in what you are doing to your motor :wink:
All i need to do is cut the back end off mine :lol: :lol: :lol:

From scratch - I like the one posted the other week

hope to do something similar.

Hopefully an alloy plate in front of rad, might do tubular bumperettes to fill in under the headlights. Want to make in strong but also light - don't want to hang 100s of kilos off the front - winch will be heavy enough and a second battery etc all going to weigh it down.

Newer models should be easier to do as no indicators top provide holes for.


Dadba - not sure what to do - what browser are you using ie internet explorer, firefox, opera etc, also what firewall are you runnning? You should be able to view picassa pages - seems wierd tbh.

help

ok really good and i want to do the same,
however i can copy this and your tyre size etc. but i need to know the rims you are useing as i different offset could have drastic consequences

i have the money for tyres rims etc , and have some of your springs so just need to know what rims your using

maybe you could advise if the max offset that will fit

just to save us buying the wrong kit could prove expensive mistake


thanks hb

I really don't know exactly what wheels I have they're just what I bought with the tyres. 16" x 7" eight spoke steels. I will ave a go at measuring the offset when I next have a wheel off but tbh I don't think they ae available in different offsets. 6 stud jap fitment steels seem hard enough to get hold of anyway - if you find any I need a 5th one, using a 15" spare at the moment- I also need a tyre if anyone comes across anything in 265/75/16 or even 235/85/16 both are common Landy sizes and are same rolling circumference - will have to mod whel carrier though as any bigger than the 31" spare I have on at the moment won't clear the step/bumper.

More offset as you say would probably cause real problems with clearance on lock - no insolveable but would involve more than just a hammer - would be into cutting bits away and welding bits back in - will leave that till I've worn these tyres down a bit and decide to go up in size - again.

Re: rims

They perhaps should but they don't I've looked - that seemed to stop when they stopped being weller wheels.
