Takeva look in my Tunisia 2010 gallery, and you see the kit in use

Got us out of the desert and back to civilisation, well worth having one along on a long haul, but not sure I'd go for it just for greenlaning - just carry 2 spares.

Nope, NJF has the "asbo" tyres, I ran on old skorpions and chucked them when I got back home. Alright, ATRs might well have been better, but then I would have had to take virtually new tyres and risk ragging one or two of them and then cursing myself for it, this way I used up the originals my D4 came with plus a old spare DSL was chucking and got a couple more miles out of it without worrying tooo much about wrecking them.
Changing the Komo was interesting as the jack wasn't tall enough and so we had to dig down in rock hard shale to mount the new wheel  Hey, but all in a good days fun.
