Ive been offered a set of Simex Jungle Trekkers 33x11.5x15 to go on my 18r powered 1981 hilux. Whats the jt's like ? Does anyone know how they will fit on the lux??
If you can make them fit, Get them!!
I reckon they are an ace tyre and reckon they work heaps better off road with lesser air, and are not too bad on road either.
80 series, Locked both ends, Q78ed & a massive 57 k/w to boot!!!!
they are a very well balanced tyre that work well in slop. they also street fairly well. i'd get them again if they were bigger than 35-6" that is currently available.
On road they are pretty good, off road they're awsome. In relative terms their weakness is smooth rock, but everything else they hookup on really well. They wont work well though until they have been aired down, and being a bias ply I start at 15psi which is usually fine. Mine are now 1/2 worn and still working well, e3ven in the clay.

The JT does not go to 35 or 36. Only 34. The ET's go to 35 and 36.
NOTE I have never owned a set or tried them on my vehicle
Having said that they would have to be the most frequently sold second hand tyre i've seen on this board. I would only say if they are so good why do so many (not everybody) people sell them??
Dunno. The only problem I've had with them are the flat spots that develop after the 4WD has been parked. As the tyre ages, these take longer to heat out. They're also a relatively small size.

I think you get that with most bias ply tyres, my swampers go bumpety each morning for about the first km
In the mud they are awesome compared to a BFG or MTR.
On a club trip last winter a twin locked Lux with 33" BFG muds and a twin locked GU with 35" MTR's could not drive where a 34" JT2 equipped Hundjy could (stock lsd) they are that much better.................
Needless to say my mate has 34" JT2's on his Lux now I have these as well and I luv em, yes they get the flatspots after parking and are noisy on road but when your in the Toolangi slop in winter you thank god you got em
they are a great tyre if they only made them big
i have an 83 dual cab
2.2 diesal and with the stock gear it was hard of it but they where worth it
get them
