My Chiffon Ivory JB74 SZ5 - blog/mods/build thread

No problem. Just be aware that the system shows no stock across Europe so check that the German source actually has one and is not just quoting without reference to the stock holding.

You were right:

Unfortunately we have to inform you that the part(s) you have ordered is/are not available, neither from us nor the manufacturer. Since the manufacturer is not able to give us a new delivery date, we will refund your payment.

We can't deliver your order and would like to apologize for any inconveniences you had.
Thank you for your understanding.

So if you have some path to make this little part come to Europe at the price you said, let's go.

Have given the transfer box quite a testing this week. And I'm pleased to say that all is looking good so far.

I also, at long last, managed to get the tyres fitted!

Just to recap, they are 217/75R15's. Nothing too outlandish. And only marginally bigger than stock (195/80R15). I didn't want to impact the gearing on or off road. Nor feel the need for a lift kit immediately.

They are just under 1/2" taller. But are obviously sporting a much more off road biased tread pattern. I did consider a set of MT's. But as this is my daily driver, I opted for the first time in my car/4x4 history to go for a set of AT's. But I think they will work for what I'm wanting from the vehicle.

Tyres are Maxxis AT980E's, very similar in style to the BFG AT Ko2's, but cost quite a bit less to buy and still get good reviews.

Not yet driven very far on them. But what I have done, they seem no worse than the standard tyres on a dry road at any rate. More to follow on this, plus some more off road testing.

If anyone is interested, the old tyres are available to buy:
4 lightly used (3000 miles): www.bigjimny.com/index.php/forum/11-for-...-684-ii-set-of-4-200

1 new and unused: www.bigjimny.com/index.php/forum/11-for-...dueler-h-t-684-ii-70

The tyre lettering is white, the blue is there to protect it during transit and should wash off.

I like the look of those. Where did you get them?

Very nice.
