Re: Goodride SL366 MT Tyres???
Any more feed back on the goodride tyres and how they're performing and lasting? Currently it gets interesting with the maxxis high way terrains, so was thinking a cheap set of mudgrips truck only gets used a couple weeks a year so hard to justify expensive tyres that might last a bit longer... Cheers

ARB air locker price
Can only one suggest the best place to purchase ARB air lockers from?
What sort of price should be paid for front/rear locker + compressor? (for landcruiser)
Also any one got an estimated price for the install? (id rather go to work and pay some one else to get dirty for me)
Cheers brad

A few months back i got offered a 80 series vx landcruiser for a pretty sharp price after the owner cooked it. Radiator top tank cracked, resulting in overheating cracked head, and it looked like 2 pistons had minor cracks, other than that it looked to be all good. I guess that was February's or mar...

Without going and seeing John I cannot comment. However in '03 I bought a set for one of the Broken River Ski Club vehicles and I came across the receipt a couple of nights ago.
