    Michelin XZL 900 r16

    Salisbury Plain with a twist

    Was thinking on the way home today, maybe we could do the plain a little differently. Not withstanding the picture already posted about today's visit suggesting we can't navigate, does anybody want to drive the Plain at NIGHT to make it a bit more difficult?

    Pin 7 mod /Lo sensor removal

    Having read the post in the 80 section about pin 7 mod, I thought I should post my findings on the 100 series If you do the lo-sensor mod on a 98-2000 100 series diesel, you loose the ability to lock the center diff, this in turn means you can't lock the rear diff Pin 7 would seem the only way...

    Something Chris mentioned

    Do you know what nonsense this is? Jon mentioned some time back that Camskill didn't want to sell him some tyres a while back, do we think we won't be able to buy mud tyres in the not to distant future? Is this why BF Goodrich changed the Mud Terrain, I recently read that the BF Goodrich KM2 is...

    I do think it is kind of ironic that since all the tyre threads have been moved here, it has been all quiet on the western front So a question, has anybody got any experience with the Simex Jungle Trekker? I know Dr Jon uses the Extreme Trekker, but has anybody tried the JT
