dollythelw Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 37"? sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 37"? sorry Not everyone is after a comp truck been there done that To me that's quit nice for all round use as a toy for expedition and much, much, much, more comfortable than most of the other trucks with that size and above tyre..... I could also do that to my Disco with ease and still dive on a motorway at 70-80mph comfortably for relatively very little money. No its not as strong a it could be but then it starts to cost more and if you not competing and you pushing that hard its your driving that's failing and need attention not the car.

jules Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Its probably less work just to fit the 37s to a disco... I agree with you on this one its not that hard just bringing your self to carving up a Disco 2 once you have done that its easy. There is a D2 on portals with 40's on so its not the most extreme or anything but it is nice looking and as my disco is now worth less than last years laptop I could be persuaded if SWMBO wasn't looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate of mine has 37's under his DII (for over 2 years now) and does 30.000K a year with it. 3 sets of brakepads a year..... It used to be his toy but now he uses it for his daily 70 km commute and has a D1 on Maxidrive portals bobbed and everything.

Astro_Al Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Just so we're clear people, I have nothing against the truck, its nice, I like it - forget about it. Its the way throwing in some halfshafts and changing the tyres is billed as surmounting the impossible... zzz zzZ ZZZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a differant skill to fabrication but making a car that looks 'right' is still a skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not entering a comp with it , just touring , Bet there's alot more ARB ones around than Dveon ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
