But nice and narrow 36s so less butchering is necessary. Not that I have thought this through. Much.

Ultimate Adventure entry requirements are 35"+ tyres :whistle:

Whats the beardy bloke in the battered SJ called? he did fairly well from memory :-)

Ring & pinion gearing will be the more reliable method of achieving huge tyres (excepting the poor R&P, diff & shafts), but even then the wheel offset will need to be massive. Expect turning circle and fuel consumption to be equally massive :laugh:

Does the white one pictured have axles from a Lard-rover or other wider track & heavier vehicles? ~ some unimog portal axles would be good :whistle:

Tim Hardy. He's a legend. Loads of cool innovations like using a forklift planetary gearset on the transfer box prop for massive gear reduction, and I think he was one of the first to do a "virtual lift". He also has self-clearancing sills. I.e. the more dents they get from hitting stuff, the more clearance he gains. One year he did the whole thing with a trailer on.

Bless it! It looks beaten and un-loved (a bit like Maverick's Jalapeno!) but I bet he does love that truck! ;)

Given it's been on the circuit since at least 1995 you have to assume it's part of his family by now.

That looks well. Is missing that what made you build S200KYS and now the buggy?

Ummm, yes, I have (as Kirkynut often points out) an obsession with modifying Suzukis... ;)
