Hi, new to the forum. I have a 95 that 8 have completed one large trip in so far down to Morocco in 2019 running old standard suspension and standard 265 70 general grabber at3. The trip went well bar a cracked tank and the rear suspension sagging but know I have the want for something a bit more ready, especially in the height department.
I have read a few post on 33s and I don't want the hassle of a BL so the 285 75s are out. I am therefore looking into the 255 85 toyo mt (becauses they have good reviews and at 120 a corner I will have £245 more to spend on diesel than if I went for km3) interested to know if anyone has experience running 33s and how they compare to 265 75 as another option.
SL I have seen a few on here using the peddlers and Monroe from roughtrax, being reasonable in price and less talk of sagging over the ironman. Does anyone with the peddlers know what the rear springs are ratted to interns of exra load carrying capacity. I have the rear seats in and so there is probably 100kg over the rear axle in the boot space.
I added a pic from the trip, as can see very standard, even has the side steps still on, which will come off soon. To clarify, the truck didn't necessarily struggle on the trip but I definetly felt that I was a little low on some of the rockier passes. All in all I felt the collie did remarkable and on a solo trip its reliability for the most part remained good.
Cheers
