Wasn't it black?
But if you can tell what colour it is, you aren't trying hard enough!
Ahh, you have been pimping it, nice one. Why did you lose the alloys though..?
Very good....I have some modulars on mine now, it certainly does improve the handling and looks better too, but I keep clipping kerbs now ...Partly cosmetic and partly functional Jon. The offset on the alloys is such that the face of the wheel is pretty flat against the mounting, this creates a narrow wheel base which makes the vehicle look top heavy, but it also reduces the steering lock. By contrast, the deep-bowled modulars have a much deeper offset. The effect is to push the tyres out by about 30mm per wheel. Effectively widening the wheelbase by 60mm. This definitely improves handling as it lowers the center of gravity and it gives it a bigger wheel lock, making it more manouvreable. Alloys also crack and fracture, steels are much stronger. Plus I think the modulars just look better. I think alloys are all wrong on defenders.
...oh and Craddocks gave me a part ex on em against the BFG's.

I've decided I don't like you Martyn! I don't have a landy any more but I love them and think yours looks fantastic. Be nice to it.
get a 110 then dougster!
martyn dont you find the step reduces your ground clearence? otherwise very tidy looking mate - would love to take her out and get her dirty!! lol
Great aren't they? I'm well impressed with em - surprisingly good road manners too.I like the BFGs, I have the same set on my jeep.
I want to ask one thing though, as a fellow 4X4er; when you went to the wider rims, did you experience any wobble? It is a common thing with Jeep Wranglers that, when you put in a budget lift kit, and wider rims, you get what is called the "death wobble". Essentially, what happens is that, due to only lifting the springs, and widening the stance, the jeep is a little unstable, particularly when you hit bumps at a decent speed (me, its about 40 mph). I dont know anyone who has a landy, so I figured I'd throw it out there
