Thanks Gordon, one more questions what's the difference between your 17" rims and say the King Steel 17" rims ( beside the higher price ;-) )

Steve223,one question as well,bit off topic:o

Where did you get the rock sliders from,what brand are they?

Did you fit them yourself?

Thanks

? The 17" rims I had were LR rims. I sell 18" rims.

Cheers,

Bought them from Disco3QLD here on the forum, had Peter fitting them
but should be not much issue fitting them yourself ideally with a jack which holds them in place.

the holes in sliders did not match 100% so I have one screw left out on each site

Hi Gordon,

what mods would I need to make to the rear wheel liner?
Is it easy to do myself?


Thanks

Steve

The mods for the tyres is fairly simple. There will be rubbing when at full articulation (compression) in the rear wheel-well, on the front part of the plastic liner. If you remove this liner, you'll see a metal seam that sticks out approx 2cm or so. Bend this back so it doesn't protrude so much and replace the liner (note if you have rear AC, you may have to re-route the AC lines, which is a harder job). The wheel will still rub on the plastic when fully compressed, but the metal seam will no longer contact the tyre.

Cheers,

Gordon
