paulob1 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Full wrecker with the original petrol engine but have my eyes on a diesel engine for her...maybe in the future...she wont do many miles and in about 3 months I will have finished buying toys for ever....(and if you believe that then...well don't) She will get a tidy up respray and all bits sorted, need a new set of tyres for her and so am on the lookout for them...maybe a set of michelins or something similar...and I have to have the whole thing checked for function and operation... Other things I know it needs are a master cylinder for a rear wheel, anyone got one or know where I can get one AND the PTO shaft for the front winch...

paulob1 Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 it has been refitted with 22.5 supersize radials...so unless i go back to the old wheels which i dont have I am stuck with these. I know they are a modern tyre but it means they are a commercial tyre and they cost big time...likely it will cost me 600 quid a tyre for new ones.. need to get some cheaper than that if i can...

paulob1 Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 yes and I think i will get a set of on road tyres for it which are not as expensive as i thought...chinese ones for 180 quid a piece...if they are wide enough...so i will change the tyres when I want to go off roading with her... just organising pick up...

paulob1 Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 they just say 15 x 22.5,,,they are not very tall...i suspect they are something like 385x 65 x 22.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulob1 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 hey the cummins diesel conversion, did you do that yourself, which cummins did you use, i lose track of models and what power...I want to try and get about 300 bhp if i upgraded...but will likely stick with the petrol for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
