But yes, looking forward to some fresh treads.

Spent a whole 30 minutes this morning pulling out the rear jump seats. I was planning to get some pics for a bit of an 'idiots guide' walkthru to the process, but all 28 or so bolts came out without a fuss, and I think in retrospect, if anyone needs pictures to help them do this job, they have bigger problems . That being said, the seats are now sitting in the corner of the living room, much to the annoyance of the lady of the house.

In other news, planning a trip away for 2 weeks or so, commencing 24.10.2016, so need all the space in the vehicle I can muster.
Picked up a new esky for the trek, a 55L cool ice roto-moulded plastic job, which I hope will last the long haul. My previous eskies (ice boxes, chilly-bins or whatever people call them these days) were all hand me downs, and tended to leak and not work that well. I was lucky enough to borrow one from a mate locally, which was a ripper, and part of the reason for going a new one.

Planning to head to inverell to see some limestone caves, then on to glen innes to grafton, yamba, more coastal meandering, and on to byron bay. No itinery as such, just a rough plan and some time to make it happen.

When I took the seats out of my 90 it was a PITA. I don't know what they had put on the bolts but they were tight all the way until the nuts were right off.

That's interesting. I wasn't sure if I was the first one there... All bolts on mine came off very easily. I used a T40 impact Torx socket, which made life very easy.
There was only 1 bolt which gave me a bit of an issue, but I took it gentle with the ratchet, and it came out fine.

My back seats were easy to remove and I've owned the 90 from new.

Let us know how those 255s go, I could swear mine rubbed when I hit large bumps on the highway

New tyres are 255/85/R16 (33") BFG KM2's. The car looks liek it's all tyre now.
I was a bit overdue for replacement, looking forward to testing them out on the tracks over the coming weeks.

Will they rub?

I'll let you know! Opinions online and everything points to it being OK, but let us test it.
There's heaps of room to the spring hanger in the rear and front, obviously this reduces with one side tucked up and the other at full droop (or as much as I can get with sway bars).
Rear will arc towards the rear of the vehicle due to radius arm arc, opposite for the front.
