Hello from Doncaster

[J66P]

hi, just popped in to say hello, got a V6 Colorado to play with, had Jeeps for years and fancied a change

 

[Chris]

Hello and welcome. Looks like Jade to me. And new tyres too? Not sure we have any members with a petrol one in Jade. Glad you know how to post pics too. It's an auspicious start.

hello and welcome
see you on "the other site" a fair bit!

 

[Andrew Prince]

Welcome - you must be the first member to have colour-coded lettering on their tyres

 

[TonyP]

Welcome... nice looking LC

Hi and welcome

The blue covering on the white lettering, I am sure thats a protective 'skin' to ensure the white lettering stays white, during shipping and fitting.
In Texas, I had new tyres fitted to another 4x4 and the lettering was blue, but simply washed off with warm soapy water.

Hi welcome and yes it is a wax to protect the lettering during shipping. Either wash off with warm soapy water or let the rain do it for you

 

[Andrew Prince]

Or even better, mount the tyre so that the white/blue lettering faces inwards

Yes, I am perfectly aware that the blue coating comes on some new tyres BTW!

 

[Chris]

Y'know, I have a feeling that J66P might just already know that? Not sure that anyone was actually suggesting that the letters were blue. Were they?

not being too shy but its hard to get mud on it, unlike my Jeep it stays under the archs

 

[Crispin]

nice pics - don't seem to mess around...

 

[J66P]

thats what its there for, just debating on a front ARB locker

 

[Crispin]

Speak to Tony and a front locker - It's harsh on the drive shafts. Or was that the driver

 

[J66P]

lockers breaking things are down to drivers, Jeep had them and I never broke anything, others break things all the time

erm..... nothing to see here move along

Learning that very fast... front locker on a 90 makes it a really capable vehicle.

 

[J66P]

have you got one then ??

 

[TonyP]

Yeah fitted by previous owner (Chris on this site). It's a ARB RD90 Air Locker by Devon 4x4.... I'm the current custodian of Lil'Blue:
