Snaga's new ride... 2008 120 D4D GXL

Hi ya Brains,
Nice so far... definitely a muddy Road noise is noticeable but as you said... "they're a muddy" so without having ever driven on a muddy before I don't have anything to compare it too.

Looks even better in the kindy car park now... turns a few heads from other '4wd owners' especially when I can't wash the mud off for a few days after a weekend away

Unfortunately, couldn't get a wheel alignment done as the young bloke found my left tie-rod end was worn and needs to be replaced

Have to get back to Janowen Hills to test them out in the Black Soil out there

They look tough

Looking good Leon. Janowen on a wet day would be a good test track for the new shoes

Leon,
How are you finding the Federal MT's after a few weeks?
Cheers
Robert

Lumpy indeed :twisted:

Hi ya Robert,
Definitely noisy, but they are a mud tyre
I wouldn't want them on if I was doing 35,000 k's a year like I usually do.
Did a 250k round trip to the Gold Coast and back today and I can't say the road noise bothers me and the wife was in the car for the first time the other day and she didn't mind it either.
Only driven in the dry so far and handling is good... straight line braking seems ok so far but haven't 'emergency' tested them yet to see what the ABS does.

Can't wait to get them in the dirt/mud and have a play so I think I might have to start working on a pass-out for Janowen Hills in the not too distant future.

Thanks Leon,
A bit of noise is the price you pay for running a Muddy.
Paul also gave them a good wrap, after my MT ATZs I will probably give these a go as well.
Cheers
Robert

Your head has gotten bigger Snaga? Must be all that knowledge you've picked up over the last few years.

You guys talking about the hat? I thought it was a new camping table. Oops.

Well, when the family comes is feels like we pack the whole house. May as well include the dining table as well

3 consecutive GTG's = acquired knowledge... gotta store it somewhere

Had a service done last week... apparently the cabin filter needed to be changed


So that's what a cabin filter looks like after 96,000ks
