I’ve been have a lot of problems with the brakes, iv given up on the SJ master cylinder & Servo setup after trying 4 different SJ master cylinders, so iv gone back to the original LJ80 master cylinder. I got it fitted tonight just need to bleed them and hope it works.

The old setup

It's looking awesome now simon! nice work! I love the fact all you guys in the raging rhinos go for super wide 33" tyres, there's a good collection of LJs between you now as well!

Just out of curiosity how do you find the wide tyres in deep mud as i guess they give quite a lot of floatation, I was thinking about fitting some 33x13.50 mudzillas to mine but i'm a bit concerned about grip on sideslopes in the wet as i there will be less ground pressure with the wider tyres.

Thanks

Hey Scott,

They are really good in mud properly the best tyre iv ever had, they have so much grip its unreal 8-)

The mudzillas are a good tyre but like you said they don’t have very good grip if you on a bank or slope
