Holy S%#t what do those things weigh.
Put bigger tires on, then you don't have to worry soooo much.

Before I could stop them they sent it for powder coating, I will have to check later what I want to do if they chip too badly. As long as they work I'll be happy as they are going to be tested.Peter Connan wrote:Hi Rocstompa
I would go with galvanising, but not powder coating. Powder coating chips pretty easily and cannot be touched up.
My personal preference would be galvanizing, and then you get a paintable rubber coating, unfortunately I can't remember the stuff's name, or bitumen underbody sealant.

I have to agree , the 35,s look right at home on the patrol, should fit the sliders tommorow and will post pictures.Alanvs wrote:I would but i'm scared of the fuel bill
Believe me with the 4,5 and 35's the fuel bill was the same as 33's. I would imagine the 4.8 would be the same!!
Patrols were made for 35's, anything below just does not look right.
