GS,


Visit this post on the Aussie Troll site. Interesting to see the power loss on the dyno results

Aggeneeman Grant - daai link wat jy gepos het is vir injector goeters!

Maar ek stem anyway saam - groter omtrek bande steel jou krag...

I was "tricked" (price & availability of 285 :-(( ]into 275 Duellers on AGAROB [same as you Troll mos] and was forever sad and sorry i did not go the 285 route -
So - Agarob did not even notice the diff from 265 to 275 - only the speedo became accurate [match the GPS]
Sooo - as to size, take the 285 but not bigger [yu wil crawwwwwwlll up hills]
as for AT or MT -- MT is for windgat and more than 40% of driving in THICK mud - then go for MT - else, AT will get you there - even through mud with bit more momentum

if it's teh LOOKS you want - then go windgat and get thenm M/T .. Micky Thompson's has teh most aggro look on them [eintlik blerri mooi wiele daai]
assikie so armgaaij was'ie het ek daai MT M/T gery ...

Ok guys so itl be MTs as im windgat to qoute Oom Mac

If the 285 is the best size then i might as well fit them and jsut do the suspension later
Pieter as far the turbo spool up is concerned thats the very nice thing about the VNT on 3.0 becauase its a VNT i need almost no revs to spool it up , remind me to show you next time , my boost gauge tells the ovelly story - boosts when i just pull away

Grant ill give herman a call

Oompie daai Mickys is pragtig maar eish hulle kos hoor

Oki so the 285s are on , havent been off road yet but i must admit the little handgrenade really likes the bigger wheels , theres still enough power on the uphills and pull aways and the speedo seems to be closer will check it with a gps this weekend but the most inportant fact is that with the 285s she looks like a 4x4
