Pretty sure the Challenger has rear discs so I gues this mod wouldn't be that difficult. I'm also curious to found out if it would be possible to swap the Triton's leaf springs for the Challenger's coils :?:

Nah mate, the opposite actually as I just photoshopped the front wheel with disc and was too lazy to do the same to the rear so copied and pasted it :D

Don't know Tex and not really worried because they are on a second set of rims so they should last a few years. :mrgreen:

They look fairly serious Dad ;) Are those steelies the standard offset? I've got a set of dynamic steelies but they widen the track by about 30mm from memory. Haven't bolted them up yet to see how they look though.

Black wheels are definitely a good look.

Pretty sure they are standard offset Steane and yeah, I love the black too.

Was thinking today about getting the canopy glass tinted to match the cab :mrgreen:

Mate if your after a better ride the challenger rear would be good but you would most likely find you'd get less wheel travel as it's only a 3 link suspesion system therefore more limited than a good leaf set up or a 5 link system ... ;)
