Re: Dan's Suzuki Samurai build - On hold till I build a new

Got the final piece of the puzzle to get stage 3 under way...

Tyres so I can flex her up on the current springs and figure out how much drop I need to build into the YJ kit to avoid any arch scrub.

Maxxis Bighorn MT762's in 33x12.5x15 :rockin:

Just in time too as they only had 8 left.
