They pick upstones everywhere....small ones in the sipes and larger one between the tread blocks.

Grip wise they seem to be really good. Not tried them off road in the wet yet but other than that they seem good. They are perhaps a little noisier than I expected but it's nothing too invasive. My biggest concern with them so far is the chipping. It might be more to do with pilot error and not playing with the pressures enough (although I did have them down to about 22 psi on the steeper, rockier sections in the High Country) but I was suprised how much they chipped. I know I abused my OE Wranglers much more over the last 2 years than I did to these last week and they didn't chip at all.

All in all they seem OK so far and I'll just need to keep an eye on the pressures to reduce the chipping.

Default I can see now!!

First thing friday night trying to back into a carpark i couldnt see s*%$ so i thought i would throw these bad boys on today, bought them for my patrol but never fitted em. So glad to, they go alright on here.

I used the rear fog light switch on my indicator stick, works a treat cause it cant be bumped on and blind some poor bugger behind me.

Found the dissconected plugs just hangin in the breeze after ARB was finished with it, so i extended them with some 3 ml twin core up past the sub and onto the tailgate.

now to think of a way to thief proof them if possible lol.

cosmosblue13, that's a great idea mate. good thinking about using the rear fog lights as I have the ARB rear bar too and was looking for a way to re-connect the wiring to some aux lights. How much of a pain is it to disconnect itr all if you need access to the spare?

TheoB, I just used the same twin clip plug as they put on for the number plate light, left it fairly long and just fed it in behind the wheel so i can pull it through as i lift the tyre on.
It is a bit fidly but im hoping i dont get to many flat tyres haha...
