v8bertha Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Ok chaps... We are after a set of Mudzillas 33x13.5x15. preferably on black modulars. But at the mo there seems to be national shortage of these tyres . We have phoned loads of distributors and they have all said the same thing... there is a container thats gone missing and nobody has an arrival date for them. As its only 5 weeks until we leave for Russia we are getting a little nervous sooooo.... Does anybody know anywhere that has 5 of this size tyre in stock anywhere in the UK? Cheers guys.

Astro_Al Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Can you order somewhere foreign and pick up en route? Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 That would leave us with 5x wheels and tyres to transport around - and my stress levels won't cope with that! I've started packing already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_Al Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Nah, just bolt on some junkyard specials to get you to the new ones... Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Nice idea, but we're going to Ladoga - I think that'd just dig us a nice big hole in a very big swamp Thanks anyway Al, TBH I don't want the hassle, if we miss it/miss the ferry/something happens we're then doing Ladoga on 5x knackered wheels... scary!

BogMonster Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Last? There's over a month to go yet! Some people probably haven't started building their truck yet I've got 2 in stock at work which probably isn't very helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Jen, think again about the Jungle Trekkers - they're don't dig nearly as much as Extremes. I used to find mine worked well on boggy type ground when I lived in Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Russia - not Scotland, Swamp - not bog Will. could try Albert at Super Swamper Europe Jen, he might be able to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I'll check around over here as well, know of a few places that sell them. If I can locate any, I'll let you know ASAP! For my Defender, I'm actually thinking about replacing the Baja Claws (the original design copied in the Mudzilla's) with Boggers. I really love the Claws and they perform great as an allrounder, but I do fear they're not the best choice for swamp conditions...

BogMonster Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I've just tried getting another two for somebody to make up a set of four and the supplier I get tyres from says he can't get them at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeagent Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 What about getting the proper MT Baja Claws? They Are expensive but I saw someone in LRO advertising them this month.. Silverline maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8bertha Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 What about getting the proper MT Baja Claws?They Are expensive but I saw someone in LRO advertising them this month.. Silverline maybe? I think Jen is going to give Silverline a call today to see what they can do on a set of Baja Claws. That Charles bloke (seems very helpful ) from the ebay shop is hopefully making shipping enquiries for us today to find out when they are expected to land in the UK. Boggers could possibly be an alternative if they are not too expensive... Who sells them in the UK, anybody know? Bogmonster... cheers for you efforts, shame you didn't come up trumps as I'd much rather buy through somebody here on the forum. Cheers guys... will keep you posted on developments!

will_warne Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 If you go for bogger speak to Super Swamper Europe as Jez suggested - not in the UK but they speak good English, are very helpful and deliver quickly. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I've located a set of 5 Mudzilla's in Belgium, new and immediately available. 180€/piece, VAT included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just had word from Charles at JCS and he says the missing container is on the quayside awaiting some customs clearance or something and should be with him by next week...

plasticbadger Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Do you need that tread pattern specifically? Young Bobtail Rhys on the forum was selling some 34x10.5x16 super swamper LTBs a while back he may still have, a darn sight cheaper than buying new.

jacks906 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 JCS (bloke off ebay) an silverline all get the same stuff off the same container but silverline is the main distributer for them (i think its the same with most of them) so silverline may have the best price when they come in. thats going from what the bloke at JCS says i'd also sorce a good set of 15" x 10" rims your self the ones i had off JCS werent the straightest dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 34x10.5x16 Thanks Rich, but they're too big and not wide enough, we need wiiiiiiiiiide for swamps Hopefully we can sell them on afterwards with enough cash to buy another set of new BFG's for Charlie. We only really want to use them for the event. Dave, thanks for the tips. Will give Silverline another call on Tuesday to get a price, but he was certainly more helpful than Silverline. If we do buy from him we'll see if he'll just source us the tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
