Hi from the Highlands

Hi all,

Bought a 2.5 LWB on saturday, my first 4x4, going to be a daily drive and off road toy.



A few things to sort on it but nothing that involes grinding and welding which is what I wanted!

Been lurking since friday reading up on them, seems like one of the better car forums

Picked these wheels up for it cheap, apparently came off a Shogun, hope they fit

[Big Dav]

Hi and welcome. You'll get good advice here. Bet you're glad you got your truck in time for the snows?

[toecutter]

Thanks, I certainly am, MR2 turbo has been my only car for months, its bad enough in the wet never mind ice and snow
Unfortunately may have killed it already (broken glow plug in cylinder 1, have made thread on it) typical I do that just when I need it most.

hi just in time for winter eh? The shogun wheels will fit by the way, where do you go off roading up there

[Big Dav]

You mention this is your first 4x4. Not wanting to be cheeky but if you're not familiar with these trucks spend a few moments reading up on the transmissions systems and front wheel hub operations.
These vehicles do not have a centre differential which, if driven in 4wd on a grippy surface, can cause major truck-killing transmission damage.
Hope you get the engine fixed soon - more winter weather being suggegsted for next week.

Hi mate welcome to the forum.

Hi and welcome to the mad house mate.
Wheels goe straight on, Shogun wheels on mine too.

[Mr Mud]

to the FOG mob, I had those wheels on a truck I used to own, see photo...........all you need now for the winter is a set of driving lamps, and a couple of fog lights, you'll find the plugs for both already installed under the bonnet, good luck

Hi and

[toecutter]

Thanks for the welcome

drinksoptional - Only place I know of for off roading is a pay site.

Big Dav - I've read up on the 4x4 system so I know what not to do. Starting to look like the heads are going to have to come off, just what I need

Mr Mud - I have a set of spots and fogs I can use, but fitting them will have to be put on hold for now
