    These are early pic's of the pig with our old dunlop grandtreks (265 75 16) crossed up with 100% standard suspension. No touching.

    Will be increasing tyre size (and aggression!) adding "Hard Range" lift components very soon, hope to maintain the "no touching" bit too!

    I had longer bump stops fitted. I initially had them too short on the front. The result of that was the bottom pot of the airbag smashing the top plastic cone when I hit a dip in the road at speed. The top cone had cracked and chipped, leaving me stranded for a day. Luckily it was not far from my destination and could hobble to the site.

    The P38 education is not a cheap one!

    I got quoted 4 to 5 month wait on BFG KM2 255/70/16's what a joke.
    I then tried to find a Goodyear wrangler M/T to no avail seems the don't make MTR's to suit us any more. Only muddie I could find available locally now was the GT Adventuro M/T in a 225/70/16 ..... Not happy Jan


    I guess the lesson learned is get the tyres you want well before you need them.

    Have you tried Silverstone? They make M/T's and extremes, top quality also.

    I personally know 2 happy KM2 users that would tell you they are well worth the wait. All the write ups on them I have read are also chock full of praise. You could do worse than to wait it out

    FNQ - I can't understand the wait your having on the KM2's! I literally drove my P38 into my tyre dealer in Townsville and drove out with 255/70/16 KM2's on (6 tyres in total). He reckons that they are a very popular size and they almost always have a set sitting on the shelf ready to rock!

    Give John Muller a call in Townsville (Tyre Plus - 4721 5599). I'm sure he'll have some ready to go. Mention that Keith Wager from the Roving Around 4x4 club gave you his number and i'm sure he'll do you a deal...

    Cheers
    Keithy

    Just a rumour i heard from someone working in the tyre industry. Apparently a couple of cult group members that are based in Tassie have taken this as an undercover way to Launder money. Now , i don't know how true this is, but wouldn't suprise me, cause this group doesn't lias with the media or the outside world, except through Maxxis.
