2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Rimini Red

Once went to 35's on a tdi but found it a pig to drive so I changed the transferbox to a 1-1.6 (or one from a ex mod 2.5NA) and it was much better. These are now getting rare and prioces are going up. As for your I have no idea how its going to be with 35's on but i can tell you mine seems ok with the 285's (about 33's) .

I think a 185 bhp puma will handle the 35s but its the steering that worryes me will it be all over the road anyone got any pictures
