Hi all,
then, 1 week later... got stuck in some mud... hehe
a few months later, upgraded tyres and got some Pirelli Scorpion ATR(255/55/19) - you don't get any kind of MT tyres in that size here in SA, so AT's would have to do.. i still wanted MT's though.. but would need to find wheels first (that i could afford, and that was available).
after that, i could play a little more... also installed a Frontrunner roof rack for longer trips with the extended family and all required options.
but then, after months of waiting, an opportunity presented itself.. a set of 17" Freelander 2 wheels. Now to get some rubber that i wanted... BFG quite costly, but these Firestone Destinations were a really good price and the reviews are great!!
then, gravel roads became a lot more comfortable... 
i'll be doing a bit more hectic trails in the upcoming future, so will post here how it goes!!! still love my Freelander! |

The Firestones are 245/70/17 and have given approx. a 1" lift. I am planning on having spacers made also for the suspension which would yield another 1" and then I'm happy |

Thanks Dan, I honestly thought they would be noisier on tarmac, but not that bad.. and you get used to the 'hum' quite quickly.. it's quite soothing. Then offroad, well, what a pleasure!!! Eats up the path in front... |
