oh no, the bug has bitten, you only started talking about tyres and a spring spacer now you are looking at winches!! :laugh:

Tyres will be fine on your existing wheels although modulars will already have a different offset so you won't need spacers. 1.5" is fine on normal brake hoses.

Welcome matey,

I had to laugh when I read this thread, you started off just wanting tyres and have ended up like the rest of us wanting everything! Once that bug gets you it reels you in!

Enjoy your Jimny fella, looks like you've got a nice one, plus it's in the best colour!

To be honest I was a 2" lift and a snorkel to start off with lol.

I've got 2 weeks sat in this shit hole of an oil rig to think about what I'm going to do when I get home, sofar it goes

Mod the jimny, spend quality time with he missus lol

Can any one point me in the right direction of some good road tyres that are ok off road?

And the winch, I see some on eBay starting at 100 and going up over £1k
IDE be looking at around 300 budget but want something small and light as possible just to help in an emergency?

Thanks again lads.

Would this winch on eBay be up to the job?

Synthetic rope and it weighs 20kg, I can live with that.

Winch looks ok to me. It has enough max pulling power.

You priced up a winch bumper or a mount for the standard one?

i agree that axel breathers would be a good idea!

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationHi mate, ill probably just make some kind of mount for the winch.

Just bought this off flee bay, I know it's mayb a little small but it is just for emergency use.


Just want a remote and some synthetic rope for it now. But I can get on and mount it ready or them bits.

Next job is the spacers, and tyres. Next payday.

Then the snorkel and axel breathers payday after that.
