What are opinions on rag tires just out of curiosity because my old man has a set of 7.5016 under the house (just reminded me about them) they are pretty aggressive looking pattern fair bit of tread as they were only on his truck for 5-6 months before he scraped it (gearbox died and he needed more seats)

Not on rims
They have been under the house for awhile so I'll ask the tire shop what they think

For testing the transferase you simply push the short high/low shifter forward to select low range. Make sure you are traveling at a slow pace or stationary with the auto in neutral before you shift ranges.

Larger lifts are easy. 3" is a good height. castor correction makes the drive more enjoyable.

Ten spline axles will eventually break on 33s.

With 33s and above I would reccomend 16x8 rims at -25 offset.
This will require modification to the guards and flares.

Assuming you're in tambourine QLD? You're more then welcome to come visit before or after purchase and I can show you over my vehicle to get ideas on what can and can't be done.

Cheers

hey grimace

I've been a fan of your car for a while and have recently just got another rangie. its not registered as yet but would love to come check out yours for some tips. im in tweed heads

When I had my 85 Rangie I knocked about with two GQ drivers One had 32's and the other 33's. Whilst my car was in the driveway with their cars we got under and measured the clearance under the diff centres and the Rangie on the 245/75/16s had the same clearance as the 33's.
The guy with the 32's went out and bought 33's:D

They both had lockers and I didn't And I still got to where they were;)

I went crazy and bought a Disco, then another, and now I have returned back to the fold:angel:
