First mod to the GV, decent tyres, gone from the stock rubber to some 235/70/16 Insa Dakar muds, already looks much more purposeful 8-)

Next is a 1.5" B4V lift and remove the naff coach-lines, then clean up and re-paint the rusty rims.

Looking forward to the lift going on, hopefully will have a similar effect! Needs it as the tyres foul the rear arches when it articulates.

Amazing what a set of bigger boots does.

I'm really happy with it so far, not only do the tyres look great but performance off road was way better than I was expecting. It's in the garage now getting a 1.5" bits4vits lift kit fitted so more pics to follow once it's done.
