That makes sense, had a few hairy moments using the metal ones before! I’ll look out for some wider, plastic alternatives.

I have a couple of metal ramps. Is there a particular reason for recommending plastic ones?

Are you guys working under ramps/axle stands or a lift?

An update. The day after ordering the Yokohamas on Black Circle, they emailed to say they were actually out of stock and offered me an Avon tyre as an alternative. I refused the Avon and requested Falken Wildpeak AT3 as an alternative, which they agreed to at the same, offer price of £480 for 4...

Any members on here? As someone interested in doing some basic off-roading/green lane driving is it worth joining?

They’re original but to correct my original post the size is 245/70/17. I’ve been assured that 265/65/17 will be fine…….I hope so because I’ve just ordered a set of Yokohama Geolander AT GO15. Black Circle had 15% off flash sale!

I’m in the UK so no insurance issue. I’m just unsure of the sizing issues on stock rims.

Probably a dumb question……So I have standard 17” rims with 245/65/17 tyres which I want to change to Falken Wildpeak AT3WA’s. Will 265/65/17 be ok? What is the range of tyres which will fit standard 17” rims?

Is there an idiot guide/youtube tutorial for oil & filter change, air filter etc on the 3ltr diesel? Keen to perform my own basic maintenance. Have done similar on my current Honda CRV so have some experience but would appreciate the guidance/step by step support! Is this the correct service...

Thanks, that’s reassuring. I’ll be taking a look this evening

Its first registered 14/1/2010. From what I can find out this was when 150 was released-120 ceased 2009?

Loved this. Watched a lot of the Jap 4x4 videos; looks like lots of fun! Do you guys have dedicated vehicles for these adventures or are they modded daily drivers?
