From treps to boggers?
Treps are more designed for racing, they clog up and have to be spun to a high rpm to clean. That's just breaks stuff !!
These boggers are rare as they are so narrow, I could never afford to buy a set from America, so I swapped my used treps for this basicly new set of 38.5/11/16 boggers
Going to be black this time Andy !

I know the reason why people run them but I just can't get my head/eyes round tall tyres that aren't wider too.

Treps work very well, at speed on gravel and on rocks. The whole ultra 4 style thing suites them down to the ground.
Hence why they are not so wide.
These boggers I have hve very deep tread, there pretty much new. There 38.5/11/16
I've mounted them on my wheels but might do away with the headlock as the sidewalls bulging.
These actual tyres won the Croatia trophy, says enough to me !

Just ordered a hydro handbrake with built in locking mech so not to use a line lock like before, used to annoy me not having a proper handbrake

I've got another issue now which is the fuel tank, so on a Kja its not in the same place, well mine is a samurai Lwb chassis so sits at the back as normal.
Now I've got to move it as rear shocks hit it ! So do I put it where a Kja one is and do it like that or custom tank under the bed with fuller neck up through the bed?

Seats mounted, had to get them in to work out there harness bar, hydraulic handbrake is going to be quite useful
