    P38 getting a mud bath

    I took the RR up to Glasshouse mountains on the weekend. It's wet up here (seen the news?) and we had fun. You will notice that I have innapropriate tyres, but with the exception of failing to check the depth of this boghole, I was responsible

    Also watch number plate upon entering and leaving. Doh.

    Great video :-)

    This is where the Hard Range kit and a "Raised Air Intake" would come in very valuable!

    New tyres

    The RR got new tyres today, after much heartache, I replaced the Cooper XSTs. I didnt want to go the ATRs as I was told that their profile being too high made them technically illegal.

    They were $350 each fitted and balanced with a WA done from Redland Bay rd at Capalaba. I hope I didnt pay too much

    They fit me in on the spot so I am pleased. I will have to make do with the sub standard off road abilities, as at the moment I prefer safe/quiet/legal/smooth.

    if you are serious about getting off road you should get a second set of 16" rims and tyres. It was one of the best decisions I made. A set of 5 late disco Mag rims and second hand 265 70 16 AT tyres cost me $400. They ride so well they are on all the time now and the extra 1 1/2" diff clearance makes all the difference. There are always 2nd hand 265 70 16`s for sale cheaply as they fit so many popular 4x4`s

    I wouldn't drive into a water hole even with my snorkel unless there's no other path. You're risking an engine IMHO.
