Exmoor Beast Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I've been mulling over this summers work to the 110 and fancy going a bit silly so I was thinking of bunging a set of 37" Creepey Crawlers on it as they seem semi affordable. Has anyone got a 110 running on them so I can get an idea of how much I need to extend the arches/cut the wings to keep legalish. I've got a hair brained idea to make some custom arches with the aid of a couple of talented sculpting mates and some rubbery stuff. I'm only using the 110 for gentle offroading for work at the moment so I'm not too worried about the halfshafts etc. Eventually I'll have the Series 2 sorted for fun but thats another story. Any photos to fuel my brain would be much appreciated. Ta muchly... Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCHREIBER Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 God was a boy the last time I had more than one wheel off the ground Bish Will I'm running 37" creepy crawlers on my 90 atm, got a 2" lift and lots of trimming on the rear of the rear tub. I've also fitted QT super wide arches to cover the tyres. They are very good off road, but utter rubbish on the road, as they are cross-plys Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exmoor Beast Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 I take it they are 37" Creepys John??? Whose arches did you use they look half decent Obviously you are a hopeless source of help on suspension as you insist of ye olde cartsprings and goalpost axles Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 37x1250 R16 but they measure more like 35-36" on the truck. The arches were from ebay, a company with a three-letter name such as CPD or somesuch who claim to be the supplier to Paddocks et al, mine were factory seconds, supposedly cosmetically damaged but b*gger*d if I can see anything. Fit nicely, give room for trimming if you need to and look better than floppy rubber edging strips IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Go on Will, get yourself a set! The 37 Creepies are a nice small tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exmoor Beast Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Go on Will, get yourself a set! The 37 Creepies are a nice small tyre. Just seen some 38" ones I wonder how the 15 and 16" versions vary in size, I prefer the thought of 16s, I think 15" rims look noticably too small on a Defender John, have you got enough air in them? or is everyone experience that they are under sized???

Paul Humphreys Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 My 35s were 35" when new, less now. Almost worn after 13,000 miles. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get 40-50,000 from BFG MTs that could really put me off Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suggs Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 ive got 35's on mine with QT arches, they come up at 34.5 when fitted. think there big enough to be honest. they run at low presure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoggyN Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I'm pretty sure thay are cross ply, It says 'Bias ply' in the Maxxis catalouge IIRC They are 'Bias ply' which is a sort of half-way house between cross ply and radial and a classification all of its own. I'm pretty sure only the Septics make them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone else with a Landcruiser and he did a set of Simex in 6000 miles!! I'm pretty sure thay are cross ply, It says 'Bias ply' in the Maxxis catalouge IIRC Yes Bias ply, but that is not the same as cross ply.
