they just clear the rear arch and clear the front ones but when the bumpstops compress they will rub so will need to do a little bit more cutting on the front.

now do i mod my tail gate,make a tube tail gaet or leave it open with like a stinger on the rear to cover the tyre???

Nice! Your snorkel is green now? Where's the pink?

Those tyres look pretty sweet, bit tight in there and full upwards travel?

keep uo at the back,the green has been on there for a few months now :lol:


i like it nice and tight :brows: ,i am thinking about lowering the rear as it dose sit abit higher than the front,i dont like to see trucks with big gaps between the tyres and arch,i like it when disco's flex and half the rear wheel goes up into the rear arch

I think this one would be best...

Give you quite a bit of strength, and a rear stinger to boot ;)

I vote no tailgate :thumbup: and no rear stinger, I'm sure it'll be fine without it :thumbup: edit, maybe just something like the last pics built into the tyre carrier?

They are Mahoosive! are they 35s? (just true 35s unlike most bloody tyres :argh: ) or 37s?

yea also with that one it will open out of the way of the spare wheel as if i just go for a stinger it will need to be hinged so i can fold it down to get to the spare wheel

I like that one too. I'd say have it hinge down like a range rover lower tail gate. I think if it were me I'd also weld some sheet to the pipework rather than leave it as a bare frame of a tailgate.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
