for off road use. is there a way of making my own
lift kit. and were is a good place to find 14inch wheels
as iv looked every were. thanks guys

wheel balance or tyres are first cheapest to check or replace.

go do that done and come back

[badga880]

if shaking at about 100 kph wheel balance as this is the speed centrifugal (big word) force comes in if you go faster it can go away then yep balance and as Steptoe says tyres can be out of round after that the repairs get more expensive

[Ben james]

yeh its worse at take off and at speeds around
40 my front tyres are prity balled as well.
been trying to hold out on new tyres coz im looking
at buying 14 inch wheels.

but cant find any any were. there hard to get.
even tryed to find pug 505 wheels but same problem
cant find any lol

You probably won't find any new 14" wheels in the right stud pattern, try wreckers yards and places like U-pull it (or the Victorian equivalent) I lucked out one day and found an old lifted MY bush basher with 4 14" wheels still on it, went back to the same yard a couple weeks later and found an L series with 2 more. Sometimes you can be lucky.

I will be moving on my Pug 504 wheels in a few months, but if you're looking for something sooner go to pugwreck in Bayswater. Budget on $40-45 a rim, plus rubber.

[Ben james]

well have to look them up. dont need them in a rush
wana fit sum mud tyres on them sum one told me

you cant get mud tyres for the 13inch stock wheels
is this tru. im planing on using my Lseries for a off road
camping car as il tow it so i dont have to worry

about it being road worthy. so i dont cear what i put
under it as long as it fits lol. all so wana try and make
sum kind of lift kit for it.

You'll find that your vehicle needs to be registered to use it offroad in Vic - it's still deemed public road in the State parks/State Forests/National Parks etc. Unless it's private land you need registration and the driver needs to be licenced

you cant get mud tyres for the 13inch stock wheels
is this tru.

Stock 13 inch rims you can still get the stock size rubber in a Toyo iWinter tread - it's a mud + snow tyre, very soft rubber. I recommend NOT running them in summer otherwise you will literally watch the tyres wear down between drives!

As for larger rubber on a larger rim, 27s on a 14 inch rim are still available and will fit with a two or a three inch lift with minor guard cutting to the front guards.

Cheers
