Ek sit al 'n rukkie lank met die idee om my 15's na staal rims te verander.
Ek krap nog kop tussen 7J of 8J. 7J is -3 offset en 8J is 'n -29 offset, maar op die 8J gaan daar baie tyre uitsteek.

Rian,
Ek sal like om 'n diesel te ry. Maar ek het nie een gekoop nie, omdat hul so lief is om die 3.0 te steel.
'n Dief moet mal in sy kop wees om 'n V6 te steel. Dis hoekom daar gewoonlik net 20l in my tank is, want hy gaan nie vêr kan ry met 20l nie...

Had a quick look at mine. I also have a pipe connected to the main/original tank that leads to a LR tank.
Check under the spare wheel. there should be a 70l tank, or the previous owner had it removed before he sold the V6.
