He had a spotter and a 'herd' of rock collectors to assist. He may be a clown (he has some funny one liners), but on the Baboons Pass, he didn't choose any of those lines, and there weren't really a lot of options.Quote:

Just my 2c on that 'specific' vid ;)
Agree, but having watched several of his videos, he does some unusual things and makes some interesting choices...Quote:

Just read that the compomotive rims won't fit either purely because of the brembo brakes.
Will the D3 wheels fit? Have read conflicting stories.....
I think the D3 18" wheel off-set is 53, same as the RRS 19" that I have.
Hoping someone can help as I dont want to be restricted to the 19" wheels and no decent tyres to fit it. That is unless someone knows of a good off-road 19" tyre that's good on the sand, quiet and good handling in the wet and readily available in Aus.
Not bothered about mud or rock crawling capability.
Cheers
I understood the Compomotive 18" wheels do fit.
The other choice is LR 20" wheels.
There are 18" & 20" tyres which have higher load rating and are generally stronger than anything in 19" tyres. The closest is a 19" Duratrac.
Really? I've fitted them to plenty TDV8's - unless your's has been modified?Quote:

Hi Gordon, I did read somewhere that they wouldn't fit, can't remember where. On the web site it says select RRS L320 to 2013.....Quote:

Hi All,
Decision time for me, narrowed it down to 2 types. 1st choice is LT D697 and second are the Non LT GY Duratrac both in 265/60R18.
Just to recap, A lot has been said about D697 and the feedback overall is very good and my 1st choice at the moment. However as these will be my second set, I am looking at a more aggressive tyre with LT construction as the KO2's in the same size are still more 8 weeks away.
The Duratrac appears to be a well reviewed tyre and no real negatives recorded, also one of the best liked tyres in the US.
Wouldn't mind hearing from this forum on any one's experience if any with 265/60R18 or similar size fitted to their D4?
Noise not an issue, Front runner low profile will most likely put the tyre road noise to bed.
Regards
Gerald
Are you aware that Duratracs in that size are only LI 110, not the LT versions generally available in other sizes? However the Duratracs in this size replaced the Silent Armors of the same size which have been quite favoured by some people.
Hi Graeme,
Yes, I am aware of the LI status. Having had a few days to think about tyres while overseas, I have decided on D697 because they are LT and more commonly available at major outlets nationwide.
So of to Bob Jane, 6 new 18" rims and fitted Monday at $348 each and a $100 cash back.
Duratrac although LI, $440 each. For those interested Bob Jane finally has KO2 265/60R18 on there system at $515 each. They are dreaming.....
Regards
Gerald
