Just went from 33x12.5R15 Duratracs to 35x12.5R17 on my JKU (w/ 2.5” MetalCloak Fox lift) and it’s like a whole new rig. The new wheels result in a more tucked in, stable tire with less bulge / marshmallow bounce. The extra height works even better in the deep snow we’ve been getting. Love it!
Dont you think its time to just go petrol!!!! I spent some time in Qatar last year and the military use Nissan Patrol V8 single cabs which really purr (and obviously the military LC200's) but those civilian LC200's with the tuned 5.7L V8 engines...WOW!! Or is it a case of you can take the Diesel loving SAFFA out of SA, but you can never take SA out of the Diesel loving SAFFA. Great video, waiting to see the results of the new toys!!
Are you plannkng to make any sort of review or impressions on the new trail terrains? I'm really waiting for a video from you on those to pull the trigger
I've been this shop a couple of months ago. Came to see if I get some shocks and stuff for my truck. Awesome place, but unfortunately they didn't have what I needed. You mentioned a colour change on the Cruiser. Wrap or Paint?
Fuel Covert wheels come in the sizes of 17x8.5 +14mm offset 5.3 inch backspace, 17x9 +1mm offset 5.040 inch backspace or -12mm offset 4.530 inch backspace. Which of the three was chosen?
And dude if you watch most of his videos are overland stuffs not dune bashing. He has such nice contents with overland builds and gears specially nice spots here in UAE.
Yip correct. But have an upgrade arriving that will sort out this. Just so happened that the tires and rims arrived first. Many things to consider, like clutch, steering, axles, gearing etc etc etc. But this is all part of the transformation we are going through now. The truck has done 130k and is due for a new clutch etc etc. so it’s the right time
You are the Romny Dahl + ASPW of the UAE. You're doing a lot for the overlanding scene here.
Thanx for the compliment
Great footage and the new tyres and rims look great. Good to see EE on screen after a while.
Great content
Thank you Zacks

Finally someone giving proper advice on wheel and tire combos. Looking forward to more videos
Keep watching. Hopefully if we can get the edit done in time you will see the new trail terrain BFg tire release

Happy birthday to you
I don't like many after market rims , but those are super nice!

I will be doing a full run down once the truck has completed the transformation
Why didn't you go to Liwa 2022? There are celebrations in the desert and competitions for four-wheel drive cars
Not really interested in the crowds to be honest. Much prefer to be off the beaten track with no one insight.

I remember him complaining 1hz for not having enough power even at low range, now 35 inch tires

Bigger tires is always better 😜
