Would it be a good idea to remove the front and rear bumper off my 89 Sierra its only used in the bush.
Whats the best size rubber to fit to a standard sierra 89, the ones on it now have little to NO tread!
Cheers!

I would only bother removing the front and rear bumper if they scrub on any new tyres you get, otherwise theyres not much point.
As for what size tyre, maybe something around a 30" would be the go, you should be able to pick up a set of used muddies pretty cheap. Just remember though that standard sierra low range gearing is pathetic and it will get worse if you put larger rubber on.

Cheers guys!
Yeah i have noticed the low range to be fairly high! always feels like its getting away from you down steep hills. Its always keen to get to the bottom where as the rover creeps down. But it all adds to the zook experience iv learnt to love!
