Ooh, I like that! Have they narrowed the front grille?
Flap's our resident Landy freak. I'll be tinkering in his garage later so I'll tell him to come & have a look at that.

Ok problem number 1, i know jack s**t about how to go about doing that conversion ie jacking it.
Problem number 2, where the hell do i get wheels that size and tires.
Problem number 3, is it expensive to do.
If i decide to do it it won't be till after the trike is done so next summer some time.

Nope its a s1, with wider axles on it, makes the old girl look very small. |

'Tis indeed nice.
Flappitty Doo Dah's Landy's in the Motors, 4 wheels bit of the main site. Looking for more 4 wheelers, (or 2 or 3 cornered ones too), for the Motors section if you've got something interesting & want to show it off -!!

An inexpensive way to jack your Jeep up is to mount the leaf springs on top of the axles like the one in the first few pics. Handling will probably be terrible but it does look good. Wheels and tyres that big are expensive though.

Also mine only has leaf springs on the back.
So if i can find some wheels and tires, where is the best place to get a lift kit, or is there another option?
