Anyways.....I’m itching to get out....hopefully I can actually get this lockers wired up and test shit.

 

Are you getting aftermarket rims or installing on your stock rims?

Could always buy the tires, see if they fit, and go from there. 265’s you should have no issue. 275’s are questionable. But hell @Joe23 had 285’s on no lift as his coil overs weren’t set for lift. He made it work.

If you plan to go offroad the lift helps but isn’t needed on some of the trails. Pick your line and go where you feel comfortable. Don’t need to drop loads of money for the odd trail ride or camping excursion. Hell could camp at ardbeg and ride with someone else to test the waters.

 

Fuck money come Saturday

 

I have too much to prep. I don’t have my skids on, need to change the gear oil before I do that. Also need to wire lockers and compressor. Little stuff but need time to do it....

 

Better ride? Better approach and departure angle, looks?

Besides the 265 70 17 is technically bigger

And if you're not going to be wheeling hard it isn't needed besides looks

Mine was set to 1"lift and I couldn't fit I had to lift more to 2" and still have issues even with 3" won't solve as it's the width causing issues. I've just done as I did with my VWs, embrace the rub. If you ain't rubbing, you ain't Dubin

 

Love it!

Ain’t rubbing you ain’t Dubin
Need that as a sticker or a patch lol
#swear I’m not a overlandor patch whore

 

Pfft
Marlin crawler did it fine

 

Well I'm always down. Get your shit done and I'm down for Minden or ardbeg . Fuck if I'm off much longer I'm down whenever

 

I will keep you posted!

 

@Canadianguy91 seriously if you want to try come by and put one of my 285s on which are also 0mm offset with 4.5 backspace. The best chance for no body mount rub and you'll see how bad it can get.

You need 4.5 to clear control arm and once you move that far out you hit body mount.

And you'll see what I mean lift does nothing for fitting wider tire. Unless you're going 6"lift +

 

Can always park in my spot at the trailer and be good to go for minden

I trust you won't burn down the park like a certain comrad

 

I know North Bay is a trek for you guys, but I have now found HARD trails.

Anytime you want to come spend a weekend, I can ensure you get to test that rig

 

I’m down for a fall colours run. Hopefully it doesn’t fucking snow though.....

 

And yet you are fearing black flies...
Just say it out loud, you don't want to camp with Chevydozzer, Brocoma and Overlander.

 

I would be afraid of all the Russians going....

 

Im only going cause eugene is going, he camps properly and safely.

 

Lol. Yep. He ensures all flammable materials are at a safe distance away from all heat sources.

 

That’s the best response ever!

 

I'm fine with camping with said people except for Brocoma.
Crazy cunt is going to burn down all of ardbeg

And I don't want black fly fever again
