Thread: Smokeys First Mods...Whoo Hoo

here's the much more dull technical version:

Lifting a D2 with SLS

looking good stevo.

Ended up being a great day.

The weather was a bit average but you get that in the Tweed Valley area sometimes. Thanks to Pete for the help as it is always good to have 2 people on jobs like this. Thanks to Kathryn for looking after the kids, although they were fantastic anyway. Thanks to Stevo for helping with lunch and taking care of those lonely beers. Must admit the hoist loved having the D2 on it rather than the Isuzu.

Regards Justin

Hi Stevo, looking darn good mate, you will love the Bighorns, I've done about 2000ks on mine and love them, they are a tad noisy on smooth tar but that's what you get with muddies

Baz.

Looks the goods Stevo. Tyres will make it look even better.

You will need to reverse the rear wheel carrier(ie fit it upside down) to make the tyre clear the rear bumper.
Make sure you post tyre pics ASAP

Got the new tyres on....look awesome...but your right...rear wont fit...is it a matter of undoing bolts...turning it around,,,,doing up bolts and thats it?? Hopefully someone will answer soon as I want to get onto it asap so I can take some pics ,

Ask that_kid how to do it, he did his lift and tyres on the weekend too. he flipped the wheel carrier around.
