New year, new look

Thats pretty cool Dan. I knew you had the Amarok but didn't know you we're big on the 4x4 scene. Will defo get a chat with you sometime about it.

To go back to my original thread topic, been looking at banded steels on the tranny. Looking into what the load bearing would be on them.

What you guys think?

For any one that doesn't know what banded wheels are, here's a quick vid to explain

Do they not call that the European look!!

Get a lot of older golfs with them on.

 

[Bubblecraft]

Yeah, Euro, stance or stretched

 

[Qwerty]

That over stretching of tyres is being targeted quite hard at the moment. Heard of a few people being taken to task over it as classed as dangerous. Not too much of an issue in a golf, but not so good in a tranny!

Yeah, I no mate. My big issue is the load bearing of it. Maybe ok in an empty sport tranny but on a Jumbo T350 weighing just under 3 tonne may not be worth the risk. It's not the law side of it that bothers me, it's the dangerous side! If there is a hint that it could damage my van, me or others then there's no option

Just seen this bad boy on eBay. Forget the mountain load of eBay cack that's attached to it but check the height...drool! 10" all in

Not a fan of the raised look, slammed on the deck for me!

VW's new r-style amarok is my kinda pickup, still recon I could get bigger wheels on it though!

I did have a massive debate with my self wether I wanted lifted or slammed. Love the slammed look on cars but as a childhood favourite, it's got to be a monster truck. The kids will love it.

Navara's do look great slammed though lol
