Wheels and tyres are staying i think there awsome. give me lots of clearence and and stability and are well quiet on the road.

I think it looks great... especially with your sticky out wheels!

Be careful though, the police will give you points and a fine for having tread that protrudes further than your arches. That's if they can be bothered of course!

got to say, that looks like one hell of a tidy truck.

but the light things never seem to do it for me.

a queery on the arches and tires, will it pass an mot with tires wider than arches?

henry,its mainly an construction and use issue as oposed to mot regs, they will pass mot if they stick no further than an inch from the wheel coverings.

ive seen two inch protrusions pass but with an advisory to dress up with extensions.

picture this landy pulls off field with bare shwing knobly's.
coppa see's mud flying everywhere and onto other users or cars. thats why they are funny.

You may get done by a passing police man for the tyres stick out beyond the arches, though the other hazard is if you have an accident your at risk of the insurance being invalidand which could be a lot worse than points and a fine, which you could end up with as well.

You could get away with stuff like this indefinatly, however there is a saying relating more to theft, but the underlying meaning is the same.

the light pods are pretty cool too.

MUCH BETTER THAN ROOF MOUNTED SPOTS

seeing as they are not in the way and they don't glare on your bonnet, so as you can't see !

I want one now

I've seen extended wheel arches for sale, I assume their direct replacement and would solve the problem of tread showing. Also would make the truck look awesome!

The tyres look awesome (what size /rims are they?)
Liking the roll bar, and the spots are kinda cool, but judging distances in front is gonna be a right bitch now!

Icouldn't find arches wide enough over here to cover my wheels/tyres. I was pointed in the direction of Bushwakka but It'll cost a fortune to deliver...

I ye find wide enough arches gimme a shout....
