Hey Guys...

Was checking things out once again here and thought that maybe we need to update some things, and maybe we should start with the "Tires & Wheels" in Tech.

Dunno what is easier for Ho, but I think itīll be good if we start up with concrete "REAL" fitments with as much detail as possible and maybe even a picture and a star level of difficulty (out of 5, a la Haynes manual)...

I suggest the following:

Vehicle: 1992 Discovery
Mileage on current suspension: <10,000KM
Body Type: 5 doors
Suspensions lift:
Front: OME 764s, OME N73
Rear: OME 763s + 3/4" spacers, OME N29 + custom lower mounts
Anti-Roll Bars: No
Body lift: Yes, 2"
Cutting: Yes, Rangie Spares Flares
Bump Stops: Yes, Front 2.5", Rear 4.5" with 2" blocks
Wheels:
Size: 15x8
Offset: 0
Tires:
Brand: Simex Extreme Trekker
Size: 35x10.5x15
Other data: Extended rear llinks 3/4"
Rubbing: None
Difficulty: *****

Example of a less radical Disco:

Vehicle: 1998 Discovery
Mileage on current suspension: 57,000KM
Body Type: 5 doors
Suspensions lift:
Front: stock
Rear: stock
Anti-Roll Bars: Yes, front and Rear (Stock)
Body lift: No
Cutting: Yes, Rear Quarters
Bump Stops: No
Wheels:
Size: 16x7
Offset: Stock
Tires:
Brand: Pirelli Scorpion AT
Size: 245/75 R 16
Other Data: No
Rubbing: None
Difficulty: *

I think this is a much more detailed idea and can be put in a nice table for all to see. Also, if any of you guys feel that I missed something, please letīs add it on...Ho, are you up for this?

nadim,
that would be an interesting data collection.
what we do with it is another story, but we can collect the data first and see how things work out.


email me at hochung@discoweb.org with nadim's "questionaire" filled out in the same order as it appears above.

email suject line must say TIRES THAT RUB

thanks.


Ho Chung
