Thread: converting to 4WD tyres

all things are possible.
just a few questions?
-what model discovery
-does the camper have brakes if so what type
-do you know what style hubs are currently on the trailer. My guess is standard (holden) bearings but they may just be slimline (ford) bearings.

Go to a trailer place and tell them your plans you may be able to buy hubs/bearings and L/R pattern drums to fit your axle or you might have to buy a complete axle setup to suit your L/R wheels, Good Luck, Regards Frank

Have a chat to Michael at Sunshine Trailers (in Sunshine).
He is supposed to be doing the same thing to my tandem.

G'day DBKDISCO.I went down the same track for the same reasons approx 4-5 years ago .I found Melb.trailer and caravan supplies 1-3 Ashley drive Chelsea Heights 3136 ph no9772 2333 very help full.The web site www.melbourne trailers.com.au-make sure to get the right wheel nuts and the studs are long enough and of course the same stud pattern.I remember the pricing wasn't bad and I've had no problems ,I,ve done a fair amount of ''of roading'' with the trailer.Cheers Lochie

Thanks for the advice guys,
To clear up 1 question the trailer dose not have brakes and the stud pattern is holden

Is it for a disco1 or disco2
if disco1 - ALKO and other trailer manufacturers make LR pattern non braked hubs with holden bearings... The biggest issue is that 16in wheels and offroad tyres really put a lot of load on standard holden bearings. They will require extra maintanence!

if disco2 although still possible you have a few more hoops to jump through!

does the trailer have the guard clearance and offset clearance to take 16in rims and tyres?
