Not as many as I expected but I think the colour helps it blend in a bit, that and the fact it looks a bit like a g wagon. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSD Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Given your list of previous cars, how would you even notice? Get used to people in petrol stations wanting to chat at length about it, but only when you're in a hurry. Also pulling up outside a pub 600 miles from home and someone immediately saying 'There's one like this that parks...' and explaining where you live/work. (This happens far more often than I ever thought possible). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think given I had one second glance when towing an 8 wheel drive amphibious vehicle down from the Highlands last weekend I think Mike's pretty safe...

miketomcat Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 I saw a 6x6 and an 8x8 on the way to Yorkshire (I don't think it was you ed). Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 If it was an 8x8 with a roll cage behind either a shogun or 110 might have been ours... Dad picked it up on the 11th near Leeds and then north via Lakes and Inverness. I brought it down last Saturday but not through Yorkshire, down via Spean Bridge, Dalwhinnie, Dumfries, then M6, M40. Taking it to Wales tomorrow evening. Don't quite trust it to get up the hill so Dad'll fettle it a little before we take it back to the Highlands.

CwazyWabbit Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Impressive approach angle, do the tyres stick out further forward than the bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Not quite. On 33's the approach angle is 80°. I'm on 35's at the moment not sure whether to stay on these or drop to 33's. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 34s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 3 hours ago, Ed Poore said: 34s? Not helping....... I'm also not sure which width to go for if I drop to 33's. 12.50 33 15 or 10.50 33 15 the 35's are 12.50 but they do stick put a little so 10.50 should tuck in nicely and I suspect they will look very similar to the 285/75x16's on 45.

miketomcat Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Trouble I have is the gearing is to high and I'm running standard axles. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Spend the money you save by not getting tyres, on two new diffs, or if things are very tight, a 1.6 transfer box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Haven't you got disco gearing throughout, other than the tyres? 35" and a 1.4 should give reasonable gearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
