Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Anyone running them, or ran them??

Talkin to Darren about them, says they handle like shit on the road, and arent the best option...

Dont really want to go with Q78s due to gearing....

Thanks

Why not LTBs 34"x10.5"?

If I remember correctly you have 4.3 diffs and these will drive 35.5" Q78 no prob. Only problem I find with 36" pedes is in high traction, rocky terrain, 1st low is not quite slow enough to walk it but only just.

Mark's 43% transfer gears for me ...

I run them on Suzuki and no problems with handling etc

I have also used them on a Rangie with no dramas with on road performance.

I have always liked the tall skinny aggresive tyre in Victorian conditions

I ran them on 16 x 6's.

Smaller than your JT's?

yea 4.3s, but that brings it = for 33's. Bigger I just go back to square 1 suffering lack of hp..
the 34x10.5 maybe an optino hadnt thought of them.
Marks gear woudl be nice, but again I think normal low range is really handy sometimes.

The 34x9s how did you find them on the GQ?

I got 33 12.5 swampers, they actually measure 34", I find them a lot better than the 35 muddies I had before as far as gearing goes. I've got standard 4.10's and find them pretty good.
Like driving down the road on tractor tyres, I like it but the Mrs gets a bit edgy about driving on them. From my limited experience with "extreme" tyres I was suprised how hard the side walls are, even after dropping heaps of air out they still looked like they had 40psi in em.

The change from current gearing on 33" to Q78s is only about 7.5% increase. I'd be surprised if you even notice. As for me, I'm only running 4.1s with 265/75xR16 then go to 36" pede the ratio changes by about 15%. On road, noticable but I can deal with it as they are only part time tyres, offroad I reckon I've lost a full low range gear (never actually worked it out) which is pretty much what I think Mark's 43% gears will correct plus a bit extra. As far as normal low range goes, if it's too slow, use 2nd where you used to use 1st.

Remember Mines Auto. Going from 31 - 33 was fucked.. Lots different to the manual.. :(

Ran them on Rovers only but were okay, GQ Diffs are too big for a little tyre.

33 x 12.5 TSL Same OD would be my choice or a 34 JT2.

Fair cop ...

Anyway, 34x9 is a very skinny tyre. Guy in Yarra Valley ran them on a shorty GQ for a while and to my knowledge didn't have a problem but personally, on 8" rims I'd be going a 10.5 or wider tyre myself. Especially if you don't like reseating beads in the mud ...

so what would be better 34x10.5 LTB or 33x12.5 TSL?

The TSL hands down on a heavier truck .. The LTB on a light lux or Zuk
