Is that because Zuks are sealed units? like the sealed headlamp when they break you have to buy a new one :lol:

Stag are great go in for a gasket and a chat - well worth it....

Stag didn't have what I were after, think they only deal with rangies

But they steered me in the direction of Forward Specialties in Henderson. Landrover heaven!!

Not only did I find the most agressive tyres I have seen, which I will buy as soon as I can afford them ie the next pay check!!

, but he gave me my gasket free!! 8O Very Cool!

This guy had 90's 110's the works for sale. If only I was rich.... :wink:

Oh well back to reality :roll:

Ahh yes - well sometimes forget that people drive the LR Boxes...

Eli and Forward Specs are good but $$$ Even if I had the money for a new truck I think it would be more effectively spent elsewhere....

What Eli doesn't know bout rovers....

You talkin about the Roughneck tyres?

Yeah I guess, 7.50 16" but more agressive than the standard SATs I have. Are those things road legal? If so I'm gonna get em.

Not sure on the legality side - I will ask around - a few series guys are running them in the club - they do seem to go well.

From what I understand they are a retread made somewhere down the line...? Vegas perhaps?

Cheap too. What did Eli want for em?

My slicks now are retreads so I'm not gonna worry to much

He was asking $110 for them. I thought that was quite good, or is it

$110 sounds good to me - you will get a full set for what one of my tires cost me!!!!!!!!! 8O

Don't really know what the going rate is for these but by normal off-road tyre standards its a good way to go....

Good thats what I thought. I was only going by my dads disco tyres which were 400 each or something 8O

Even my old SATs still go alright in muddy grass. So I will be more than happy with these and when I do get stuck, I'll just radio ahead to the rangie with 2000 worth of tyres and lockers ...... ie you , and all will be fine :wink:

Thats cool - radio ahead - there may be a slight delay as the Rangie is usually overheating or won't start due to dodgey starter...

We get there in the end though

Bodge, is "getting there in the end" a reference to you eventually getting to Tims garage in the and after every trip?

Ummm Yes - why?

What does getting there in the end mean to you dare I ask?

In fact don't tell me - I don't think I am old enough to hear stories about your end....
