Muddy
So you think 33" would be pushing the frendship on the prado?
What have you herd about the MTR's? I alway seem to hear mixed reports about the coopers?

If you search this forum for MTR's you will see that most guys are rapt with them.

33" will fit if you remove the front mudflaps. I had 285/75/16 MTR's and Interco Trxus on my GX 120.

35" won't fit unless you cut into one body mount and possible a little floor pan or move the front end forward. i.e. BIG JOB

The prado with 38's look tuff! What donk is turning them?

Quinsland is even worse than the rest of OZ they got 15mm rule increase max
for tyre size....

where are you located?

For 33" you don't need body lift, just 2" suspension lift...

2" suspention lift . What sort of $ would that be?
What are the biggest tyres that would fit without a lift?

maggot

For something like bilsteins shocks (which are the best for prado) you'll be looking
at around $1500-1900 fitted...

Have a look at 120scool forum (www.lcool.org)
265/70/R17 is prabably biggest without the lift...

What diameter is the tyre combo you are running? What fuel consumption are you getting? ? liters to 100k's. How do you find the MTR's? What issues are you having with your diff?

Maggot

The tyre rim combo is 790mm or 32 inches.
Around town I am pushing to get better than 15 litres per 100 with stock tyres, no roof rack and empty. On the open road I can't get better than 14.5 litres per 100 unless I sit on 90 km/h. I am very dissappointed with the economy. Every where you look and read it states you can get up to 1400 km from the tanks, I can just get 1050km from the tanks. Now alot will say its the way you drive. I have varied my driving style to experiment with figures and it doesn't matter. I have given up and just accept it the way it is.
The MTR's only go on for off road work but saying that I did a 10 000 km trip in it last year which incorporated rain over the Blue Mountains, Flinders, Ayres Rock and Simpson Desert. I loved them and they performed excellent. I won't have any other tyre.
The diff issues you can read about on the 120scool yahoo groups site. You will have to join as a member.
