Newby in 95 XJ after advice on tow points and tyres.
Posted: Thu Jul 28, 2005 11:59 pm
Well Hi Ya folks - this is my first post as a 4X4 person. I have a 95 XJ which I have had for some years and I am just getting into the scene. I used to drive 4X4s around the bush for a living and just never saw the point in doing it for fun. Anyway I have had a 2" OME kit fitted (largely because the original suspension was buggered) and I am wrapped with the handling etc on-road, but nead a few more bits and pieces to go off-road.
It is fitted with the std alloy nudge bar and I need tow points up front - what are my options.
I will be buying a new set of tyres but have been told 31" will rub inside on shock tower at full depression. Is this true and what are the options here?
Also what tyres are good value at the moment - I have been looking at the Cooper SSTs, Wrangler MT/Rs and Mickey J? mud something-or-other. Thet're all about the same price and everyone I talk to has completely different ideas.
Thanks for your help and congrats on a great forum.
