Definitely a simex/silverstone tyre day in my opinion. I also reckon the mud was thicker hence the need for horsepower. Things I was getting up two years ago with the silverstones on, I had no chance without power and on kumhos.

Yes best mod in my opinion would be silverstones or simexs, There was only one hazard I ran out of power that was stage 8, with a non turbo TD42 having said that a turbo would have been so much more fun

Yep I'm about to fit a turbo to the 3b in my 60 series

, any comments on whether 33s are worth bothering with or 35s more the go?

If your talking about that Grey Zuk it has a lot more than just a few mods. Was for sale earlier in the year with quite a list.

Yeah I was, my mistake it didn't look that modded as a casual observer.

Thanks MudHog, that's kinda what I was thinking but will need to sort a suspension lift to get 35s on.
Cheers.

After close inspection of the 40 today i snapped the front chassis rail when i done my handstand and stood the truck on its nose, which you can see in one of Nibz vids. So i got some minor repairs to do.

Bugga! Maybe bro should check his 40 to cause he did the same handstand on the same hazard I think. :shock:
