Having fun in the hills

4x4 trips to Mexico, to the ski hill, or to the local grocery store...

Having fun in the hills

Post by delica 304 »

Was having fun up past Mill Bay on Friday and I had a friend take a few pictures:

This one is my favorite!

And since I was up near Coombs the day before, I picked up a Goats on The Roof decal

Looks like a good day! Love the Coombs sticker - Pretty significant to us Island deli drivers! Love Your roof basket too, btw - can't wait to get one myself! Happy motoring :M :-D

Hey 304, what kind of tires do you have on your rig and how do you like them? Handling? Road noise? Ride? Traction?

Right now I am using the Nexen tires that came with the Landmaster. I have to say that for a cheapo M&S, they are actually quite good! Road noise is acceptable (even before I installed the powerful stereo!), traction is good (add the 4WD and icy roads don't have a chance!) Once I de-aired for the trails it was like I was in a cross between a minivan and a LAVIII (light armored vehicle)! I would like to swap out the rims and tires in the future, but for now, I'll stick with what I've got.

Don't be too quick to change your rims, seems like the offset on those push the wheels out perfectly. Probably quite more stable than stock... And nice pics!
