Gday all,
Just a result of your help re tyre selection. Finally chose to go with the Maxxis Bighorn and received prices from all kinds of mobs in brizzy as high as 310bucks for 265 75 16.
I'll give the company a wrap, its callled ace tyres and I got them for $254 each. You can, which I did pickup really competitive priced EFS
suspension as
well, I got a 2 inch kit heavy duty supplied with the new elite branding including steering damper for a GU Patrol 99 for $813.00. Bargain in my eyes...
No I'm not affiliated with them, sparky by trade, just impressed that there is someone still out there looking after our wallets.
Have a great one...
Cheers.

Mates got the Bighorn muddies on his Jack and I was astounded just how quiet they were for new tyres on the road. He reckoned that in mud and rock they were excellent and I saw them in sand and deflated to 12-14psi were excellent in the sands around Willbinga.

Hi Stefan,
By the looks of things you've done some mud. They clean out ok?

G'day Vicar, just remember they are more of an intermediate mud tyre, so they don't clean as
well as a full mud tyre, but saying that they clean alot better than any AT tyre I have had before
Cheers Stefan

My discussions with Bob Jane today have resulted in me being confused lol. They said the MT762 is the Bighorn and they said its no longer imported to Australia. However they sell a MT754 Buckshot. Is this going to be as good as the Bighorns?? At $209 for 32x11.5.15 they seem good value.

Gday brew,
As far as I've been told, they are only fairly new the bighorns, i've run a set of buckshots before, cheap as chips but they were pretty skitish on the road. I got a set of 33 buckshots for 198 bout 14 months ago. They were pretty good, like I said above, little bit wild even in the dry. I was runnin a petrol GQ with a bit of power with 4 inch coil 2 inch body and few other bits and pieces. For what the buckshots are, I reckon they are worth what you pay for them...
