About the Hella Sharptones, the original horn had built in ground on it, thats why there were only one cable going to them, so managed to ground the Hella's, and all works like a charm now :)

Big improvement, that original one is a pretty terrible design for an off-road vehicle, or any vehicle really ;)

The netherlands might have equally or more strict rules on bumpers as you guys have. Here they keep telling me the Rhino bumper should be OK as long as there is no A frame (extra front protection bars) installed.

the bumper itself is just a legal replacement bumper... :shock: :shock: :shock: still a bit unsure about this however.

I see I haven't updated in a while..
But with a new year, new projects must come! And i have already started shopping!
I'm doing a headlight conversion to projector headlights, hopefully they will work better then the original ones. Will update soon as parts start arriving :)

Thinking about getting new wheels this year, putting the steelies on the winter tires.
The ones i'm looking on are the "Black Rhino Razorback", they come in 17x9 with a range of -44 to 0 offset.
http://www.blackrhinowheels.com/off-roa ... orback.php

My question is; with a 2" lift, will 9" wide and a 0 offset scrub?
The tires i'm running are the Cooper STT 265/70/17.
I know they scrub on a 8" wide with 0 offset wheel.
(its barely scrubs, like 3-5mm at tops)

After searching some more on new rims, i think im gonna go for a more standard look.
The Razorbacks where to wild after gazing up on them, so that idea is trashed.
BUT, i found these on the same page:
http://www.blackrhinowheels.com/off-roa ... -cajon.php
They come in 17x9, with an offset +12 and -12.

Image

If i read correctly, if i go for +12 offset, the difference would be approx half an inch/12,5mm from 17x8 0 offset? This would probably rub even more then what i have?
Tires are 265/70/17 Coopers STT.

i might be way off on my thinking now :P can someone correct me? :P

Thank you Nicola, if your wheels were 9" i think this would have helped me more.

But the more i think of it, the less it seems that a 9" wide wheel with +12 offset will fit...
