Good luck with your choice.

If I was going muddies again I'd go MTR's or Claws.

I've had 6 sets of MTR's over the years on both GQ and GU.. loved em.

[petrolburner]

Would love a set of Baja claws, not available for 18 inch wheels

[Bird]

Another good option is the Mud Grappler


available in 18's. or can you fit up 17's to it...

[petrolburner]

Yeah been eyeing them off.

Rekon my wife would get the Shits with the noise pretty quick!!

Claws are no different, they are pretty loud.. anyway if they are only weekend tyres, whats it matter

JT2's give a great hum...

P3's were great on my Patrol.
A good all round tyre.
(er, I guess most tyres are all round, aren't they )

Ok, So we are going with the MT ATZ p3 265/70/17, will be fitted in a couple of weeks

Next question is, what do you think of these mods, we are officially relocating to the Pilbara early January, I am already here, wife and kids after Xmas.  even better news is she said to me today, yes i know we will spend some money on the Ute, it's ok.  Thats like throwing an open cheque book at me.

Tyres - all sorted
Suspension, looking at tough dog, same as i had last time, question is would medium load be ok 0-300kg constant load, i reckon it will be, last time i had heavy duty and was a bit feral if i'm totally honest
Snorkel for them water crossings - probably stick with Safari, no dramas last one i had
Bull bar - like the look of the Opposite Lock - OL 125TH12F
UHF - GME TX3100 can get on eBay for $202 (seems reasonable) though i wouldn't mind suggestions for a UHF with speaker in hand piece?
Compressor - suggestions please, i saw one ages ago with a little air tank, cant remember the name of it though
Drifta draws with slide out table
Shade awning - suggestions please
Fridge drop slide - already own a 40 Lt fridge
Hard canopy - opposite lock quoting on one for me currently

Pretty sure i'm missing something obvious here but cant think, it's late

I've just installed an icom 450 into my disco, replaced a GME unit which had stopped transmitting - in fact the last two GME radios I've had have failed in transmitting so I thought I'd try the icom this time

I have had Coopers STT and are now running MT ATZ 4 rib.
In my opinion the MT is the better of the two.
