"Tom - I still got them brand new 37" pit bull rockers forsale if you want some cheap ones ?" Thanks for the offer. If I decided to go for rockers I would defiantly go for 39.5” not just because I can fit them and that they should give me more grip but also that they should increase the overall gearing of the truck. Which is defiantly needed as unimog axels have a very low ratio? I have seen the TSL LTB but the reason why they are no good for what I want is because there maximum size is 35”, when I want a slightly large tyre. Overall it looks like Interco sell quite a few interesting tyres: Irok TSL Super Swamper TSL SX They all have a similar tread patterns. So if anyone has use one of these tyres it would be great if you could tell me what they were like. Also do you think that any of these three tyres would perform better overall than the rocker ???

Hi As a few of you may know I am planning to fit a set of unimog 404 axels to a defender 90, pick up. I’ve been contacting a company called ‘portal rover’ which can supply me with a set that have had all the work done to them and will literally bolt onto a land rover. I am hoping to keep the vehicle road legal and use it at challenge events (possibly the howlin wolf) as well as trials events. So far I have only got a standard defender as I am planning everything out before I start any major work. I am currently looking at the different types of tyres available. Like many vehicles running on unimog axels I have decided to go big as the axels should be able to handle the extra size. I am thinking in the region of 38 – 40”. To be honest the only tyre that meets my requirements is the Pitbull rockers, but in my opinion I think it looks a bit tame. I have looked at Super Swamper Boggers but after contacting my club (All wheel Drive Club) they are too aggressive and have an open canter and therefore can not be used for trials. I’ve started looking at over Interco tyres and found the Super Swamper SX. It complies with the tyre rules for the awdc but I don’t know if they are any better than the Pitbull rockers. Just wondering if anyone could tell me how the Super Swamper SX handles on and off road and if anyone can recommend me a tyre that meets my requirements (size 38-40” and acceptable with the awdc) I would be extremely great full Thanks Tom

Thanks for replaying I am fitting the kit to and 300tdi Defender 90 pick up, with a roll cage and a few other things (jack, est). I will be doing trials and drive arounds with it at the all wheel drive club, when it final finished. I am also hoping to use it as my everyday vehicle, if possible. Thanks Tom

Hi, hoping to build a new truck in a few months and sell my range rover classic. I’ve been looking at the different types of suspension and have just come across the Max traction extreme suspension kit. Link http://www.maxtraction.co.uk/extremesus.htm The kit looks pretty good, especially as it claims to give a Land rover defender 750mm of travel under the back wheel without a lift. ‘Land rover 90 you would expect to reach around 750mm under the back wheel without wheel lift’ Just wondered if anyone is using the maxtraction extreme suspension kit on there land rover. If so would you be able to send me some information about it (is it worth the money), how does it handle . I few pictures would also be nice Thanks Tom
