Can't go taller - Going wider

I have been reported, apparently my wording is offensive
I apologise for any offence taken and will bow out, each to their own

Really? :/ That’s a bit excessive. It’s a chat page. It could be the Mother Teresa chat page, and all the nuns would know enough to have an extra layer of skin beneath their habit, just because it’s written, sarcasm, different sense of humor, cultural differences, people get pissy etc etc etc. Jeez, in that case, how never get reported, I’ll never know.

Maybe “wanky 18s” is actually a porn site?

That’s what flaps are for. Beats having a stone or root crunch your sheet metal or blast out a window.


There’re plenty of options available here that aren’t open to OZers. You seem to suffer thru it alright though.

This has actually been a feature of the forum that a lot of us have enjoyed, chuckled at, shook our heads, said WTF or enjoyed.
Different regions of the world have very different uses and applications for the Grenadier, therefore different modifications and wants/needs.
As you mentioned there are also widely differing laws and standards.

Ineos tried to build a "global" vehicle amidst all this.

The Quartermaster Cab/chassis is proving to be a winner in Australia but isn't even available in most locations.
Diesel is a must have in Australia but not even available in others.

The steering is not a problem in Australia, because customers are used to the old Landy and 70 series, but it is dangerous and scary in other countries (to some people).

In reality it is a platform for all of us to make our own and also see what others are doing in other countries.

I've run both skinny-tall and wide-fat tires in sand over the years. In my experience I prefer the wide-fat, despite what all the youtubers say. I was able to safely run wide-fat tires at lower pressures without de-beading than I could with skinnys. The wide fat give better on-road performance (less roll). The skinnys do provide a fuel mile advantage though. For those reasons, I think either choice is fine. Choose what you like.

I think the most confusing are the bigger rims, making the sidewalls even smaller.
I suppose the sand in the US isn’t as soft as in Africa or Australia.
But please, don’t go even bigger on the rims, it will look like a G(ay) Wagen.
