285/75R16 muddies

[Dustin]

Anyone got 4 or 5 muddies laying around that I can take off your hands ?
Size : 285/75R16
Finally got my Patrol, but the tires are pretty much racing slicks and I must get her through road worthy.

I have 4x Maxxis MT762 Bighorn M/T if you are interested in them. They are still about 70%. I actually wanted to keep them for myself, but I am now considering doing the 15" thing so can throw that money toward my future tyre set.

Will take a pic before I go to work

Thank Michael.
Drop me some pics on a PM or my email.

Dustin - did you get your Patrol ? Congrats... :)

Did you post pictures ? Perhaps I missed them...

Thanks Ian

I'll be plastering photos and details all over the forum once the keys and papers are in my hands next week.
The seller had to leave town urgently for business and the Patrol is standing at his place.
He's back on Saturday, but not sure if there'll be enough time to get the paperwork all sorted on the day.

It really is an absolute gem of a Patrol !
1 owner, old German guy, treated it like his baby, always been in a garage, had full Wurth anti corrosion treatment every year religiously, fully kitted from the first week of purchase, no rust, no damage or paint work, he even included all of his recovery and over landing gear in the deal.
He went as far as to buy original workshop manuals when he purchased the car and they are in the car (mint condition).
I've never seen such a clean and well looked after vehicle. You'd swear it was just driven off the showroom floor.

Here's a sneak peek

Now she just needs the set off 33" muddies and desperately needs a TURBO and 3" straight exhaust !!!
I've forgotten how dead the 4.2D is. I've been spoiled over the last 5 years with all the new tupperware turbo diesels I've had.

Congratulations on the buy. When I looked at the photo the first time I thought what a moeviese roofrack until I saw it was the handrail of the building behind.

[Dustin]

Going to look Shweet !
Thanks Michael

Now I must start scrounging together for the turbo conversion

[SJC]

Ja, that looks better. What size are the old tyres? 265/70r16?

Maybe start there
