Have included some pics as to the tread which is 'DEEP' and would suggest they are more MT than AT.

Also replaced the security nuts this time around, it feels good!

Thanks RTT, I thought they might ride stiffer based on the load ratings. My MTR with Kevlar at the same, where my BFG MT's are a far softer riding tyres. I'm really surprised at how big and deep the tread lugs are too! Just thinking ahead for the Disco2 what the MTR's would be replaced with, and I was thinking the MFG MT, but wondered if this tyre was also worth checking out and considering. Thanks again.

Aren’t they a thing of beauty!

I have a 3/4” and recently added a 1” version.

This one! If it cannot remove something I’ll grab the blue spanner!

I have no need for that level of firepower..... but I covet it.

I've got a Makita 18V good for 440nm, that's enough to do truck/coach alloy wheels up. Not quite man enought for the Td5 h/b, but then again, I don't change balancers every other day.

'Waukee has over 2000nm undoing torque. Around 1600 doing up. Care is needed. Like you, I don't need it often, but I'm glad I've got it.

Not "happened", but happening. In the course of getting the thing registered, the rear bar needs repairing. Except, it seems to be made out of cheap biscuits. And the lights......😡. So, will a D1 bar fit?? I am finding out. At least the D1 bar is steel.

The actual mounting holes aren't that far off.

But the extra length of the D2 body means it's not just drill a new hole.

So, I'm making up spacers. I'll report progress.

Still dunno why the forum software insists on rotating pix...

Not finished, but i think it's going to work.

The noise from the blower was doing my head in. I removed it and cleaned out the leaves. It is so quiet now, even when full on. I have a mouse filter ordered.
I replaced both head lights, one had died. I noticed that the winch bar indicator is not flashing, will it never end

I checked the oil level, down a bit from the service, not much and very clean oil.
