15" rims on a 06 GU Patrol?

Just been told by a mate looking to purchase a set of 15" steel rims that he was advised by salesman (don't know where or who) they will rub/touch the brake calipers....

06 GU Patrol, 3L Turbo Diesel.


Can this be done or is the salesman correct?

Replacing standard GQ drag link

I bent my drag link on the weekend, now the steering wheel is left a 1/4 turn. Instead of bending it back straight I'm thinking it may be an idea to get an after market replacement. Can anyone give me rough price I'll be paying for these days and a recommendation of brand, cheaper the better for me ...

In fairness I should say quick compared to a more road friendly tyre.
My BFG M/T's wore fairly quickly as well when I had them always on around town. But the Kumho's I feel are faster wearing than BFG M/T's.

I am going to give this a try myself since the 1762LS doesnt require any grinding and cutting. But to confirm can someone who has fitted the 1762LS tell me if I am not correct? No grinding or cutting, points come out, 1762LS drops in. You will need to remove some of the wires associated with a ...
