An impulsive buy - 1999 Mahindra Classic; Sold and bought back after 10 years!

rahultomahawk · 13th June 2011, 23:55

Import Ban lifted for only 3 months.After that only ISI marking tyres can be sold.Luckily..got set of 5 yokohama geolander m/t for my landcruiser from Bangalore.

Import ban lifted?
So we can buy M/T's at closer-to-reasonable rates again, for a couple of months?

Rahul, how much do Geolandar m/t's cost?
I desperately need to get a set for my gypsy.

Hi Imran,
I paid around 70,000 for a set of five tyres 33" Geolander M/T.

Hi Rahul that is indeed a impressive looking LC with monster tyres

Saw you in Bangalore last week (if I am not mistaken), I even turned to give a thumbs up.. but you were busy in conversation

IronWolf · 14th June 2011, 15:08

Nice. I don't a pictorial report going anywhere?

How about sharing more details and pics.

Well, we want to do a start to finish thread in one shot rather than a slow progress one.

The jeep should be ready in 20 days.

Tejas,
From where you have sourced 32" Bighorn?

Hi Iron Wolf ,
Thank you for your Kind words. You are right I was in Bangalore getting the Landcruiser lifted and to fit the roof top tent.
Sorry didn't notice you but I graciously accept your Thumbs Up.
Rahul
