Hi guys,
I have just finished works on my recently purchased hdj80 including:
- ome suspension (standard lift 2.5")
- safari snorkel
- auxiliary long range fuel tank (170 L)
- central diff switch
Mechanically the car is in good shape - I replaced a U joint and seal
at front and rear differential. I still have to change a part of exhaust
system (the biggest one ...). at least thats what I'm currently aware of ...
I have one question related to the large tires - based on a friend
recommendation I purchased used michelin XL (military tires) 9.00R16
which are quite big and heavy (I think they are equivalent of
255/100R16). Does anybody have experience with tires of such a dimension ?
I'm aware that they put grater stress on transmission etc... but on sand
they should perform quite well - I'm planning to use them on
algeria-niger-mali trip these December.
Regards,
Tomaz
