Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi Guys, I got a question but I thought i'd introduce myself first as I have been on Outers but on the Zook side. However that will change on account of a steering failure on the Cunningham Highway last weekend that speared me head first into the largest gum tree this side of Warwick, followed by a landing on the lid! The result was not pretty.. but hey, I',m alive!



So anyway, a bit wary of second hand cars now so put my money down on a new Toyota Hilux SR Dual Cab Diesel Auto which I should have delivery of in a week or so. Went down to Fourby's today and they have a set of SR5 15x7 rims put aside for me. Everything will stay stock until I get a payout from insurance but my main question is:

What rubber should I put on the 15" Rims. Was thinking 31" BFG's. Any thoughts or alternatives?

Now my other questions are:

Plan is to add front and rear bars and a canopy (from ARB unless people have got better ideas) when I get an insurance settlement. What is the best way to go with a lift on the latest Hilux?

PS and thanks to those nice people in their Hilux who disconnected my battery when I was on my lid. They were on their way up to the Janowen Tough Tracks comp (which was where I was headed). I think they were the recovery team for the weekend, not sure but thanks anyway!

Reminde me to update my signature block!

Nice to hear you survived your ordeal

Rubber comes down to what you want:

Good grip or long lasting
Cheap or don't care
A/T or H/T or M/T


If you do want some 31" M/T BFGs i have a set that i don't want and they are 99% new used 3 or 4 times. PM me if your interested.

I personally went cheap A/T for everyday and just adjust my driving style in the wet as there is crap all traction.......turbo doesn't help either

I run 33" Maxxis 751 Bravo Radials
BIG THANKS TO RYNO FOR MINE TOO

Luxy, I'm interested, You are the right side of town. PM me a price. I know what you mean, RYNO conned me into a set of Swampers on Mickey Tompson rims which were awesome. Shame they were the ones on the vehicle.....

I drive about 50km a day on busy roads, but hell, if I forgot to take the Swampers off, it went OK, so M/T's would be OK
