How do the Ocelandic guys manage with their 38's and what mods do they need to do. Way past this what's needed over here i guess but just curious. Brett

Thanks everyone. I may have to re-think the 35's and stick to 33s. Maybe put a 2" lift using spacers only to start. Until someone can convince me that I should use the vehicle for what it was intended and then I could do the lift properly. All your help was much appreciated. Brett

Hi, It was more a query to see what other people had fitted. Brett

Hi, Thanks, I had already thought of that. Plenty of divers use poxy L200's and Navaras which sit around the same height in standard. What I wanted to do was make it stand out amongst other dive vehicles with regards to height and then hit them with the graphics. I figured with a 2" lift and 35" tyres it would dwarf the run of the mill 4x4. Which 35" tyres can be fitted to the bost alloys? Brett

Thanks. The 110 is a bright blue metallic and I intend fitting an ali roof rack for a display board when we get to dive sites.

Hi All, I learned to drive in a SWB 1978 when we grew up on the farm and I've always fancied one since. My mate is selling his 1999 110 Defender SW and I quite fancy buying it and converting it as a promo vehicle for our diving business. To give it more presence I would like to give it a 2" lift and fit 33" or 35" tyres. It will not be used (at this point anyway) for any off roading and the mods will be purely for aesthetics and to make the vehicle more noticeable. Given this, would a standard set of 2" lift springs and shocks do the job or would I need to do more mods. The most it will do is a few rough car parks, the odd mild green lane and a track or two down to a beach but nothing to arduous. Would anyone recommend any particular 33 or 35 inch tyres and for what reasons. Also, the vehicle has standard boost alloys and could the tyres by fitted to these? I know this will seem like sacrilege to purists but we all have our reasons. I look forward to receiving feedback, scathing or otherwise. Brett
