I had to when I got back to Canberra that year as the red mud was over 2" thick underneath!Quote:

I blew through so many $2 coins at the car wash it was insane! But I reckoned I dropped 100kg of central Australian soil....[bigwhistle]
I wash my D2a and every other 4WD I have ever owned down Every time I venture down to the beach, launch the boat and when I get back from my numerous camping/fishing trips, Worst thing ever for 4WD's is to not clean all that mud, salt and other crap off them[thumbsupbig]
When we got back from that trip I spent some hours of quality time with a pressure washer under and around the outside of the car getting rid of lots and lots and lots and lots of red mud which I do after every trip. It's the inside of the car that still has a load of red dust in it. That stuff gets everywhere and seems to ooze from all the little nooks and crannies for ages. D2's are not dust tight...Quote:

Good thing too because after the rain overnight the little creek crossing was about three km's wide according to one of the pilots from Wrights Air.
I need help.
I need new boots soon.
And I'm still lusting after a set of 18's to fit them to....[emoji33][emoji849][emoji56]
Just stick 265/70x16 Mickys on you existing rims Rick. I think you'll be disappointed with the 18s.
But 18's look so bloody good.
Who cares about the performance! [emoji849] [emoji23]
And when I said I need help I meant counselling, medication, scheduling....[emoji23]
If you go the 18" wheels it doesn't matter what tyre you use they as will be crap compared to a 16" tyre/rim.Quote:

The 18's do go round corners much better than the 16's...
just sayin...[bigwhistle]
and I spend far more time on the black stuff than off road these days.Quote:

And a FWIW, I actually don't lose any sidewall height going from the current 235/70-16's to 265/60-18's.
See, I've done a really good job of justifying the bigger rims! [emoji849][emoji23]
We all know I'll be very practical and go the 265/70-16 route, but geez the 18's look good.
