Post by muddyplumber »

Brought a rangerover 2weeks ago, was great on road but to many things to go wrong if i took it off road. Sold it today and found a mid wheel base bt cruiser new 33s, snorkel, 2inch suspension lift, pto :D :D . Took it for a test drive tonight, went dam wheel. will take ownership next week. its auto but that doesnt really bother me is it worth running a trans cooler??

Hell yes. Not a huge expense, but can make all the difference to longevity of the box when working them really hard.
'89 3-Dr scud. 2" body lift, 2" suspension, Snorkel, 31x10.5's, Evil-daughter chose the paint-job.

You dont need a SOA or massive guard chop to fit 37's on a 70. I fitted a set of 37" wranglers to bubbas cruiser on the weekend which only had a 50mm bodylift and it only had slight rub at the back of the guard which would easily be remedied by removing 10mm off the rear part of the guard. NO soa or big lift is required on a 70 contrary to popular belief
