Re: biggest tyres on rodeo

does the tyres scrub without the body lift or do u have 2 have 2 lift the body?? If not will 32s fit on?? No body lift .. no 33's. In fact you might be pushing it to put on 32's without one. I was running 33's on a 16"landcruiser rim, so what ever that off set is worked fine for me. For the sake of ...

Re: speedo correction

I have a kit in my 98 TF. Works fantastically. Whilst the Rodeo does not get out and about much since me buying my Patrol, it was a god send as I would be alternating between 31"and 33"rubber. The Jaycar kit uses two BCD rotary switches to dial up the speed correction. Once I knew the factors for ...

The seller supposedly had just got it painted and had it sitting on the back resting on the tub to see the paint match. I think if the window protection was removed it would fit fine.

Certainly looks like the Alpha, but doing a search on the Alpha, they come up as a TJM and they do not have a canopy that fits a TF Rodeo.

Naw... dont think so. Most of the Flexiglass tops for Rodeos I have seen are a textured finish. This one seems very smooth. Also, looking at it the base is not continuous so it looks that the windoes on the side also seal up agains the tub. This also means that the model never had sliding windows. I ...
