Re: 35" tyres on a GU
Looks goooooood !!!
Hows the power drain on an uphill?... I doubt too much on your TD42, but in general for the more traditional basic TD42 with turbo set up?

Re: 35" tyres on a GU
Thanks Cedric
If I could make a guess I would say it feels like about 10% power going down the drain when moving from 33" to 35".
I have felt this on my Patrol as well as others so think in general the TD42's dont mind the bigger tyres.

Re: 35" tyres on a GU
the biggest compromise on 35" is that low range becomes a bit fast for my liking, rock crawling there is quite a bit more strain on the clutch. Otherwise it's awesome

Re: 35" tyres on a GU
On down hill (low range) my turbo is already pushing the Patrol so I do not want it any faster at all!!!!
Brakes not good enough at all.

Re: 35" tyres on a GU
Presies wat Tijmen daar se, dis een van die min negatiewe punte.
But I think the positive points outnumber the negitive ones
