It's already running rob storr shalfs in front so will fit same in rear


Perhaps the site owners ought to put a tyre size limit on their site for P&P. Allowing this just reduces the number of people who can get around the site and puts them in your position. What about those new to the hobby in a standard car? Is there much left of the site of any interest for them?

This is partly why I only go laning now.

Cheers Kirky,
That's what I found. I deal with aircraft antennas at work and tuning one is not something I've come across. If the vswr is bad and it's the antenna at fault we bin it and buy a new one.

Kirky - yep the mog is a whole different animal but don't suffer breakages like a jimny and are good for 40" tyres standard with all the toys just a little too big for alot of lanes even the older smaller ones I was looking it and after checking with tong if I would be OK to take it they said no and that's my local site so made it a little pointless.
Oh the 12mpg did help make my mind up.
Jimny just feels a little restricted with 32" tyres at some obstacles
Decide to go for uprated rear shalfs to match the front and try for 255/85/16 or 35" if I can make room.


Hi MysticRich, are you going for the rob Storr rear shafts
