2" terrafirma medium load lift, 235/85r16 mud tires. There is no trimming that needs to be done.
Love the tire/wheel combo. Hard to tell from the photo, are those defender wheels or ? Brand of tire? Thanks, Ben
Some time ago Rovers North had them; there are outlets in the UK and Europe selling them. The price is steep indeed.
Wow very clean, I was thinking on the exact same setup. Also i have the kuat rack, building a mtb baja rig, for some races and other mtb adventures.
Thank you. Yeah the Kuat rack works well though I will say it needs to be dropped a little lower if you want to get the gate opened far enough to grab a beer out of the cooler. My rack is actually 1-1/4" so I can use it on the TDI and the D1. I have it adapted so it pushes the rack out a bit which helps. That being said, I like my bike as high up as I can get it. When you have as much money into your bike as you do your whole rig, your priorities shift a little bit lol.
I have the same 1.25 setup, because it was on my Subaru, then on my versa and now on the disco. I planning on some steelies for the full retro look.
That's a beautiful rig, but I thought the hi-lift jack was non grata here. Dig the steel rims and pizza cutter tires.
Why? To each his (her, eir, pers, their, vis, xyr, hir) own
The hi-lift as a purely ornamental addition to a vehicle is textbook poser. Otherwise, if you need and you use it, good on ya.
235/85R16 on 2" King tapered wire springs (Australia) / Koni RAID setup. I did have to trim the rear.
Nice look, the rack
The low profile version looks even better, but I may be biased.
They are definitely better, but I haven't found one for sale anywhere. If someone wants to trade, let me know!

I hear you. I wasn't even looking for a roof rack and I lucked into the opportunity to buy this low profile SD. Thankfully I had the sense to take it. I'm sure if I was looking for one I would never find it.
