Thread: "Harden the Rangie Up!"

Well 290-70-16 JT works WELL at std and high with a little 'lug rub' on the steering arms at full lock. Mud flaps and mounts are removed and a little inner guard scrape is occurring on articulation. So yeah... it's Dremel time.

But today is a VERY nice day! Might have to try and get out this weekend sometime.

Special mention and solid thank you to Michael (boofdtl) and his boss Sam at Tyrepower Camberwell. Great service, very competitive pricing and well... my new No1 tyre-brake-battery guys in the East of Melbourne.

Looking pretty tough there!

Thanks Keithy, but it is going to be a case of "no pain, no gain".

I understand the worst pain will never go away. These Simex things are THE noisiest tyre I have EVER heard. I guess I'll just have to get a louder exhaust and turn the tunes right up when on the black top!

Secondly, my 'Pretty Pig' is now going to receive a little errr... plastic surgery shall we say?!? But you know what? I am convinced she can handle a bit of nip and tuck. Especially when it's going to help keep the P38 ranks well represented amongst the disco and defender boys over here in VIC!!!

IMHO both the Pig and most other P38's on the planet have a higher potential than they are generally allowed to reach.

Next: Hard Range snorkel install and build-fit "Junosi" style discreet winch mount...

Looking awesome Dave, now you will have to get out and test it. Come out on Sundays run if your not busy.

Brilliant Dave, love it!

Cheers, Paul.

You didnt happen to be in Balwyn last night? I was in a Burgundy Holden Calais and gave you a bit of a wave. You were probably wondering who that crazy guy was! It looks like a well set up machine and definately stands out.

Thanks mate, she's getting there at long last.

I was really hoping to tag along but ran out of time today to cut a bit of plastic out from around the front guards... have been driving a bit and she will definetley not be approaching any decent lumps and bumps until I can get that properly sorted (hopefully tomorrow).

Will catch up with you on the next run.

Yes Chris that was me... and I was a bit confused and wondering who the non-LR driver was giving us the thumbs up (so to speak)!?!

You were not far from our place at the time, do you live nearby? It would be cool to have a fellow AULRO-ian in the area to catch up with and talk LR with here and there.
