ok folks so finally got one of the wheels off, to find they are the same stud as jap 4x4's, so thats good, means i have 4 tyres for it.

found out by flipping my spare around and sitting it on the hub. worked quite well, bummer i cant mount the tyres on it like that....

only problem now is the offset doesnt fit. i cant remember what offset terrano's are, but they are about 20mm off. i know the terranos are a good positive offset though.

i have some +0 rims where the truck is, i will try them on to see what they are like.

Well folks got heaps of work done on the trailer this weekend.

Got another spool of welding wire after i ran out of the .2kg roll i had.

Finally got the settings right.

Also got given a bit of galvanised pipe, so that will hopefully last a while....,
but ya never know....

Anyway, pics:

welds are getting better...., but i guess its hard to weld properly when its windy and outside.

Just a question about mudguards...

If i have the sides come over the tyres as in above pic, does it need to have bits that come down the back and front of the tyres?

just want to make sure it will pass a warrant.

And the free pipes i got,
Thicker pipes will be used for a bullbar for the teranno.
