Breaking in rovertym lift and arb bumper on dii - Land Rovers Only

Just got my rovertym lift and arb bumper. took for the brake in bog trip, got pretty stuck.

what size lift is that? the truck looks great.

but i've gotta bash you a bit.... wtf were you thinking driving around, especially offroad, without a properly sized spare? unless it was in the truck, that is truly a dumb idea.

yea i know i'm still waiting on my spare mount kit from rovertym. i would have been screwed if some thing would have happen with the tires. i'm running 3inch rovertym lift, and 1inch wheel spacer.

wow, that looks AWESOME!!! What did you do to make everything fit?? i'm in the process of building my kit. Did you use an aftermarket DS or did you rebuild the factory one? Besides the RTE stuff what else did you buy?

i still have stock driveshafts. i have the complete 3in rovertym lift, and an arb bumper. i also bought a 1in wheel spacer on ebay.

Looks good, what size tires are those?

salbanks · 10-12-2009, 04:15 PM

275/70R18 that around a 34 by 11. they are toyo opencountry mt

I am liking the look with the wheel spacers...which ones on ebay did you get? Also, I would really recommend driveshafts and also the corrected radius arms. The radius arms made the drive noteably better.

275/70R18's are a 33" tire.. 275/75R18 are 34" tires

Looks good either way.. im trying to decide what size to get

leeawalden · 10-13-2009, 12:01 PM

mine measure a little over a 33, but whose counting...I don't know anyone that makes a 275/75/18 besides goodyear and toyo MT. I would go with the 275/70/18. They are real balanced on the RTE 3" lift. However, if you are wanting an offroad tire I would just pick up a set of 16" wheels, the money you save by buying 4-5 16" 33's vs 4-5 18" 33's will cover the cost of the wheels easy, then just pick up a cheap set of 18" street tires for your 18's.

edit: I would buy a set of justins 15" steel wheels if I could do it over, there are just so many more options for 15" wheels....

salbanks · 10-13-2009, 07:51 PM

yea on the toyo website they are 33.6 so guess they aren't a true 34, however they aren't a true 33 either

leeawalden · 10-20-2009, 10:40 AM

what spacers did you get off ebay?

DiscoDream2 · 10-20-2009, 01:10 PM

Nice Rover!

What shocks did you get to go with the RTE 3"? Wheel spacers? (looking on ebay now)

Lug nuts included....Hmm I need more info as to why wheel spacers...Rub?

What no winch?

leeawalden · 10-20-2009, 09:31 PM

I was wondering if they were hub or lug -centric

great looking truck, getting stuck is half the fun, getting out is the other half
