cheers, do you know what lift is in that?!

ooops, sorry, i just read on and found it has a 4inch. cheers

You will need to do a slight trim of the inner guard, so when you turn the wheels it dont scrape.
The GU`s have a big wheel arch and the 37`s seem to fit nice and not look out of place.


Cheers

is yours old or new shape?

mitch. which tyres are you running? i just bought a 4.5 (under 10k) low kms to do same. got 37 trepadoors to put on. saw james's one at pgs, procomp extreme's 37inch, 3 inch lift , minimal trim on inner front gauard, no body lift,rears untouched. all fits ok.

got 5inch lift today, put on a 37 bogger, FORGET ABOUT IT! i have the new shape, 2006, you cant even turn the steering wheel half a turn! in saying that i havent installed the drop boxs yet which im going to put a 12mm spacer in so i should gain some room there

If you are fitting Drop Boxes you wont need radias arm spacers, the drop boxes move the diff forward.
In the below pic i have 36s fitted and there is plenty of room between the back of the tyre and the front guard.

I didnt wanna be the first to say that, the claws looked bigger/better fit I thought ...

Boggers are a fair bit wider than the Simex though and scrub radius is going to be the problem with them i think...

WRT looking small - it must be a new lift or somehting because I have 35" simex on 4" lift and they look bigger/better fit in the guards


Thats flexing a bit too... i think 36x12's would be just perfect fit

PS - please excuse the flag on the arial - IT WAS AUSTRALIA DAY!!!

Lets get some more GU's on 37's up here to see what they look like and how they go offroad - ie rubbing, guard cutting etc.... I love some of the utes on 38's but that is far to much stuffing around to get them in under a wagon...

I give you 2 months tops mitch before you sell it!

Did you get a pic showing the lack of clearence? Would like to look at 37s on the ute soon, and my wheel doesn't look quite as far forwards as GUEEY's, even with drop boxes.

Has to be the best GU I've seen. Love it.

Not all tyres measure what they claim. My tyres { Michelin } measure 36.5'' and didnt rub at all, with 2" lift, while flexn and general offroad but when getting air and landing on the front bumpstops they would rub badly on the top of the inner arches. The only cure was to extend my front bumpstops or do a bodylift, I chose the later.

no shares in ARB, haha
I have the new shape GU though and there is alot less room than my previous one, alot squarer wheel arches. Going to run 35 pedes

no time to post pics but check out my members thread for pics of my ute with 38x13 creepies. 3in suspension and 2in body lift....
