:slap:he has 4.88's :psss:and 7.50 16's
Is that a bad thing? 7.50s are 32" tall when all is said and done, which is taller than some 33s...and 7.50s will withstand abuse like no other tyre.
What about my 105? approach and 45? departure angles? The 40:60 front/rear weight distribution? The 1200kg fuelled kerb weight? The 45 centimetres of front ground clearance under the sump?
Toyota 4wd sprung-over rear axle, Namibian engineered front crossover independent suspension (made of rebar).
The vehicle is more or less stock from the factory this way...
Anyway: yeah; Glen's suggestion amounting to 88:1 is pretty appealing. So, Marlin people; can it be done?
