    Big Tyres at Glasshouse Mountains

    Hey all,
    Yesterday myself and my friend headed out into the glasshouse mountains forestry tracks to try out our new tyres. I've gone from 30"x9.5" to 33"x12.5" and my friend went from 33"x12.5" to 35"x10.5". Here are some of the photos:




























    And a video:

    very nice does it need a new paint job after going so close to all those banks? By the way how the pootrol go? Did'nt look like he had much room left in those guards. Then again having leaves allround probably limits extreme wheel upwards hence less likely for tyres too rip off guards.

    Thankfully I didn't do any panel damage on the left hand side... it was bloody close though. The pootrol went alright, I shredded him in the rock crawling however he had a little bit more of an advantage in the clay section. I would say because he is a short wheelbase he doesn't get as crossed up as I do negotiating the track.

    Haha, I couldn't believe it... thats where the mud came upto when he was standing on his bullbar! He got well and truly bogged. One of the 35" tyres was completely under mud!

    Yep... you are right on the money with that one... I don't need to work out when I drive this thing... Particularly now that I use such wide tyres AND a front locker!!!


    A few more photos have trickled through:

    I asked tamara to hop out and take some photos, and she complained that it was a long way down... I didn't believe her until she hopped out! She is standing straight!


    I just did this mud patch for kicks...
