Maybe, will see how much the new tyres stick out with spacers added.

You could buy Steaky's Jo's wheel arches

Whatever happened to the perpetually-broke-teacher persona that you were portraying, though?

Tax rebate

Thank dog! I thought you were saving that for flat deposits, unexpected council tax, or somewhat. I'm glad to see you investing it, instead

Looks cool Rob! Every credit!!

Next on the list of jobs was sort the garage before going any further with doing jobs!

Skotl can testify to how full of crap and messy it was!

Here it is now

Wow,your garage has a wall to wall floor..............

#133 by LezT , Sun Sep 01, 2013 9:51 am

I feel that this post is misleading...... that's not so much a floor as a pathway...

#134 by woody13 , Sun Sep 01, 2013 9:54 am

Well he's got more pathway than me...........

You've inspired me Rob, I'm mid way through gutting my garage, the photo is of it near empty, the driveway is full of stuff and I've filled 2 wheelie bins full of junk

good work

#143 by robl200 , Sun Sep 01, 2013 6:08 pm

Small bit of progress today, got the spacers on.

Rear before

Rear after

Front after

Have done a few miles on them now and they have definitely improved the handling. With it being lifted a bit it now feels more solid in corners. No scrubbing or anything to report and I'm running 16x8 mods with et0 offset and 265/75/16 MUDs just now. Think I'm just legal as tread isn't coming past the arch at the top of the tyre but this may change once I get my 285s on :P

#144 by woody13 , Sun Sep 01, 2013 6:10 pm

Looks good Rob......

#145 by robert3040 , Sun Sep 01, 2013 8:02 pm

Minor update.

This arrived at school for me today

£45 including delivery from tyres direct on eBay. Really quick delivery too
My tyres have also arrived in Edinburgh. This means that for the first time I quite a while I'll have a usable spare!
Old spare was on an alloy and the tyre was a standard size dueller so would have been a faff if I ever had to run it.
Means a lot more peace of mind when off road now. Can't wait to get to Edinburgh and get these tyres sorted now!

#148 by Greigboy , Fri Sep 06, 2013 4:39 pm

Does that mean your coming to the meet tomorrow?

#149 by robl200 , Fri Sep 06, 2013 6:13 pm

Unfortunately not.... The Mrs is coming up north so she'd be pretty pissed if I took her to the mud.

#150 by robl200 , Sat Sep 14, 2013 1:41 am

Woooo new stuff arrived!

New skid plates from lez, will offer them up tomorrow and if they work on my old bus will give em a coat of yellow then bolt em on!

New boots are here too! Company cocked up and ran out of the mudders I ordered so gave me bighorns (£20 per tyre dearer) for the same price.
