Hi, it will be running 3.9 with disco series2 inlet manifold on straight gas., it has an R380 5 speed with maxidrive lockers both ends running 4:11's.

It just needs wiring and final assembly.....

I like the modification of the steering guard to hold the steering dampner. What is the brass coloured bracket bolted to the chassis for?

Hi Steve,

Where did you get that steering guard from with the relocated steering damper mount?

Thats exactly what i want to do for my disco.

Is it modified, or off the shelf from somewhere?

Cheers,

James.

Hi the brass coloured bracket is a maxi-drive bracket to relocate the damper, but i couldn't get it to line up. Bloody custom cars!!

Hi James,

The guard is from AMV in ringwood vic, i had the guy who made my roll cage modify it to mount the damper, he did an awsome job..

Hey Steve,

Now that I've seen it I know what your on about. :lol: :lol:

The maxi bracket has to go on an angle, towards the front of the car. The "bend" in the bracket should face towards the drivers side.

Doesn't look like you need it now anyway. :lol: :lol: :lol: :cool:

Had the Maxxii for about 4 months now, so wear is neglible.

Very rare size, especially in a mud pattern.
Price was great - about $225 ea I think.

All round performance is just fine.
Grip in the bush is dandy, better than any other tyre I've had.
Rocks haven't bothered them, not like the Cooper S/T losing chunks.
Deflated - they have reasonable side biters that help when bagged out on rocks and the profile makes them akin to caterpillar tread on sand.

They make quite a whirry noise on road - doesn't bother me.
The taller profile doesn't help handling much - bit of sway on the round-a-bouts etc but I have another car for that sort of thing...

What pressure do you run them on? I found the same with my 285/75/16 MTRs until I increased the pressure to 45psi (and surprisingly they are wearing evenly).

Does the "caterpillar tread" mean they are good or bad in sand?:

Hmmm, usually only 35psi.
I might experiment with your idea of 45psi, see what happens - Ta.

Caterpillar tracks are good. I usually only deflate on sand when the 'de-bogging' of some lesser vehicle is required... :lilangel:
