Loving the new wheels

, what tyres did you go for??

Are you taking it back to UD under its own power this year? I may actually make it up to the show this year and would be great to see it.

I'm running 165/50 bridgstones up front and 185/65 bridgstones on the rear.

Yeah I've kinda been roped into doing UD this year, I really wanted to go ninove instead, but we are already booked up in the hotel etc.

Small update, managed to sort a rear bumper thanks to kris for the bumper and Steve for the overrider and towel rail.
Just needed to weld up some old exhaust cut outs.
