So how are those MTZ's?, thinking of getting some for general use instead of the Centipedes wearing to quick

In 2 words....

Freakin' Awesome

Seriously!

More liveable than Claws (I had them too) and stick like the proverbial to a blanket....

I can fit my thumb between the lugs so plenty of void ratio for ejecting mud.

On rock they grab on like nothing else....

Tested on slick rock, dry rock, gibbers, mud...

So far, very, very, very impressed....

I may even keep these long enough to wear them out :D

Nice brown camo, Tombraider.
What brand is the Tacho sitting on your dash and was it any harder than the standard item to wire up?

Guage on top of dash is an Autometer Boost Guage.
Genuine TD5 tacho is fitted next to the speedo....

Dash layout: Speedo, Tacho, Temp, Fuel
Above dash: GPS - Left, Boost - Right
Top of steering column - Turbotimer/Voltmeter

I wouldnt recommend trying to fit an aftermarket Tacho to a TD5 only the factory part.

Love the new camo paint scheme.

We live just on the upper part of the gulf from yourself - and we have also had some lovely rains in the Flinders (Wilmington-Melrose) area.

I was down in Whyalla the other week - back up crews for the little fire at the Salt Works.

We will have to met up one weekend for a trip through the hills - always welcome - not much mud but lots of flowing creeks this time of the year and rock climbing.

Excellent, a nearby neighbour!!!!

We were up there the other week for a 4wd gathering at Melrose.
Did a nav-run style event and did the Bridle track too....

2 weeks earlier we drove the Horseshoe Ranges track, yet another nice area...

If theres no other plans afoot for October LWE my Local Club (Whyalla and Districts) is running our annual gathering. Feel free to come down to visit!

Cheers
