| BHPian  | They're 15"ers Quote:
Thank you. As expected, the wheel guy kept giving me all kinds of excuses for the delay in getting the 16" ones. He still says that he can get the 16"ers. I also got in touch with a bunch of guys and there was one more guy who said he can get it in 40 days!  I got tired of waiting and went ahead with the 15" alloys from "F-1", and got the Maxxis Trepador 235/75/15. The height of the NDMS and these are identical and I find no issue with steering and no fouling either. So far so good! | |

Thank you and I am enjoying it. I saw your other posts and possible trip to Bangalore to conduct OTR training. I am really looking forward to that and also to get my Jeep prepared for offroading! | |

| BHPian | Ready to rock and hope not to roll!! Quote:
It is definitely ready to get dirty, especially from all the mud slinging your Gypsy on steroids is going to be doing  .I still have a few minor issues I am dealing with; - small oil leaks I can't get rid of, - a little swerving when I brake hard (even after the new shoes and wheel allignment), - need to tap the threads for the bolts where the Free Wheeling hubs go (threads are gone), - shifter gear gets tight and hard after I run the vehicle for about 15 to 20 KMs especially in city traffic, etc. I read your posts on the trepadors being soft and getting damaged on city roads.. do you do anything special to care for them. I have been cognizant of not driving on the sharp edges of tarmac etc. Is there anything else I should avoid or keep in mind? | |

Thank you so much.. appreciate Santhosh and your help in getting it to this state. You are welcome to stop by any time! I have started using my Jeep quite regularly, so I will let to you know when I am in your part of town also. In fact, I was at RT Nagar last weekend and though of calling you, but I had my kids with me and they wanted to head back. Quote:
Thank you buddy! I want to add the front supports to the overhang, the only hold up is the thought of going through the changes once again after spending a lot time on getting the Jeep finalized. Now, your prompting has got me thinking about it again and will definitely start on it soon.. Quote:
Thank you and I was expecting your call this weekend, what happened? Anyway, I was in and out all day it would have been difficult to have synchronized. Do let me know when you are in the area again and we can hook up. | |||
