From treps to boggers?

Treps are more designed for racing, they clog up and have to be spun to a high rpm to clean. That's just breaks stuff !!

These boggers are rare as they are so narrow, I could never afford to buy a set from America, so I swapped my used treps for this basicly new set of 38.5/11/16 boggers :)

Going to be black this time Andy !

I know the reason why people run them but I just can't get my head/eyes round tall tyres that aren't wider too.

Treps work very well, at speed on gravel and on rocks. The whole ultra 4 style thing suites them down to the ground.

Hence why they are not so wide.

These boggers I have hve very deep tread, there pretty much new. There 38.5/11/16

I've mounted them on my wheels but might do away with the headlock as the sidewalls bulging.

These actual tyres won the Croatia trophy, says enough to me !

Just ordered a hydro handbrake with built in locking mech so not to use a line lock like before, used to annoy me not having a proper handbrake

I've got another issue now which is the fuel tank, so on a Kja its not in the same place, well mine is a samurai Lwb chassis so sits at the back as normal.

Now I've got to move it as rear shocks hit it ! So do I put it where a Kja one is and do it like that or custom tank under the bed with fuller neck up through the bed?
