Ok the Tin Top has arrived and over the last couple of day's I've been giving it a going over. The base vehicle is a 3 door year 2000 i.6 efi it has freewheeling front hubs 30mm spacers on. The wheels currently alloys fitted with 195 section Colmans speedo and mots say 56k miles. it may have 2" lift springs judging by its stance against a mate's Vit but I'm not convinced. Its registered as a 1.6JX U hard top

What pressure should the tyres be run at guys? This will be used as a "forestry" worker as well as some gentler off rounding of a recreational nature not serious raucous stuff its also going to have to serve as my daily runner for the time being Pics will follow once I have found my camera lead ...... I cant believe the Fujitsu laptop i have does not have a card reader in built for the digi cam!!!!!

I run my tyres at 30psi all the time.

I run my Vitara LWB at the advised 23psi,did try running it at upto 30psi but it was not happy due to the lack pf weight on the trucks,can get away with 55 on a long run but for the mileage that i do pper week its best just to keep them at the stock 23psi.

When i 1st checked the book and found out that they are so low i had to check to see if it was a mis-print but no that is what works best.

Thanks all they had been at about 35-40 and rather choppy now running at 25 -30 for a few day see how she goes for a week........anyone got a front bash plate template or even one for sale? Does a bash plate make the trans (manual) run hot?
