Depending on "the look" you're going for - I reckon a 225/60/15 would work well - a bit fatter and not too rubber band on the profile.

Thank you.

I prefer them even thicker visually, so may have to look for some kind of wrap around padding to add to it.

Could look quite purposeful.

I quite like sidewall, and certainly am not a rubber band fan.





So today I took a break, doing nothing.

Well, almost nothing.

Guilt took over eventually, so I went to the garage and moved the chassis deeper into the carport, and moved the front end in next to it, and then the rear end to the front.
Intending to start working on the bushes, removing them and refitting the new ones.

Did not happen, started to look at the roll bar again.

Then texted my friend Kevin on the farm, whom I knew has a 6.5 ton pipe bender………

He was busy rebuilding his guest house bathroom, but said “Come on over” so I loaded the bar into the truck and went over.

15 minutes later, the passenger side leg was bent to fit the space on the chassis where the original fitted.

Remember this……. Horrible monstrosity of a roll cage.



Mounting points will be used.



Quick assembly and selecting the right piece.



Pumping…….



Started at 1440mm and 1330mm was the target.

And done.



I then stayed another 45 minutes while he battled a bathroom cabinet that needed to be cut and shaped around a pipe.

Then headed home to come play and see if the fit was successful.

Tilted back, rear diagonal mocked up.

It may end up a bit more upright once the seats are fitted.



Still needs to be squared up once the base plate is cut off and rewelded.
