Guys, I too recently had to fix some tub rust issues. The pictures can be seen in my gallery under 50car noggin. Repairs can be made. Just takes time and patience. My Montana Patrol gallery also shows how i replaced the rear panels that I purchased from CITROA on ebay. Good luck

patrolers, i found a set of 9.00 r16 x military tyres near me that are on patrol split rims (look like g60 rims), seemingly in good condition and at a decent price,i think that’s equivalent to 36.5inch tyres.. my patrol is already lifted,
do you think besides speedo there would be issues running tyres this size on stock everything else?
just after thoughts

thanks

Would the fronts rub the inner fenders at full lock ? Rim offset might be a telling factor...

Other than that I'd be worried that your Patrol will look way too cool :?

Some photos of repairs. Didn't take many photos but it was holey and the front near the indicators was crumpled
