Was wanting peoples opinion on the factory front tow hook on my '02 Mazda Bounty?
To me it looks rather strong, it has 2 bolts holding it on and another holding the front brace bit.

I have a Best bars tow bar on my truck and it has the titan hitch which is removable and you can fit other attachments. Best bars also sell attachments for them. So I brought the attachment they call the snatch hook. Basicly it fit into the titan hitch and it is made up to fit a shackle not supplied ...

Bump
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks

So 3.2 is fine???
Have talked to a couple of mechanic's and shop rep's in town and they have said 3.2 tonne is to weak for what I want to do.
So my next question is will 4.7 tonne be big enough? Or do you still recon 3.2 tonne would still do?
Thanks

Anymore updates toysuzi???

I have e-mailed them and they say they do not hace a chip/unit for this vehicle. They even tell you this on ther website they don't make one for this truck because it has a mechanical fuel pump.

It is the turbo diesil model.
i have looked around New Zealand and no one sells them for bounty/ford 2.5 turbo diesils also tried a few websites.
Jerry do you know of anywhere?

Thanks Mike for posting reviews on the cooper stt's which helped me make my pick easier. I ended up going with 30's for the bounty. It came with 235/75R15 so 30's are 10mm bigger. Was going to go with 31's but I think I may have encountered a few problems?????Not sure. Anyway with 30's gearing stays ...

Well I have had my new Copper STT's on my ute for 2 weeks now and absolutly love them so far. Living down in Invercargill we get allot of rain so I can tell you that on road in the rain they are the best mud tyre I have had or driven on. On road they are quiet and handle not to bad for a mud tyre ...

I am with FMG and they cover me for on the farm. Not sure I'm just covered for on the farm or every off road situation? (should check that out?) But I could be doing farm work in the bush maybe who would know??????lol

E-mailed Pioneer Auto parts 2day (thanks by the way icedjohnno) and they said K&N definitly don't make one to fit or have one the is near that size. Guess have to keep useing the factory junk which is way over priced. Question are there any other aftermarket air filter manufactures that make air ...

I live in Invercargill. K&N stuff are not stocked they have to be ordered in.
As for wrecker have any factory stuff have tried but no luck there either.

I am wanting to get a K&N for my 2002 Mazda Bounty SDX 4x4 2.5td. I have been on there website looking for one to fit my ute but they only make replacement one for the Bounty that have the flat panel type, my Bounty has a long round type. I have been told that the Mitsi Galant 2.0l 1986/92 might fit ...

So if you are correct with the diameters there icekayak does anyone know what the actual difference the rolling circumfrence is?
If the 5.39% increase in diameter?
Thanks

I live in Invercargill.
The tyre's I am considering are Cooper STT the new pattern.
If this helps????
Thanks

Just wanting to know how people get when they increase there tyre size more than 5% As the rule I think is anything that increases the tyre size by more than 5% has to be certified. So what do people do to get around it? Or are there no problem, WOF inspectors are not that worried about it or don't ...

Yes I am wanting to run muds full time as I only want one set of tyre's. Do you think they will ping me for 31's???? Just out of curiousity the 2003 the year after my truck came out with 265/70 R15 which are 31's roughly. Maybe I could bullshit my WOF guy and say that was the size my truck came with ...

No more opinions or experiences about fitting 31's?
Would I have any WOF issues if fitting 31's?
Really want 31's but if they are going to rub or even fit or going to be a hassele maybe its not worth it.
Thanks

Would like to know definite as the tyre shop I am going to have no 31s instock and if I want them they will have to get them in.
Cozsy what width are the rims? 7s or 8s?
Thanks

I have a '02 Mazda Bounty SDX double cab 4wd with the factory alloy mags and the factory michelin tyre's and size 235/75 R15. What I am wanting to know is if 31" tyre's will fit??
