Pic for Mike as discussed in a PM about tyre scrubbing...

This is what happens when a 33" tyre meets the rear of the front guards on low and standard heights, going over bumps and/or sharp turns in reverse..

Note: photo taken with 33"s off the car - that is only a 30.5-31" in the photo and am not sure what height it is at... EAS deflated, battery removed, engine half-removed and bumps sitting on small blocks of wood to stop the airbags from getting too squashed.

Thanks for that, i took my car out today for the first real time 4wding! i went through all the tracks and didnt struggle or anything it rubbed alot so as it rubbed i cut it was easy eventually it never rubbed again...people really under estimate the rangie as i got through everything and some things others could not.

after watching some 4wd videos and reading some magazines i now see why other people get stuck all the time.

Thanks,

Mike
