37" tyres and no changes to diffs and half shafts?

Good luck with that! Bish.

Growing up in Worcestershire I used to see those Carmichael versions regularly. They were used as airfield rapid response vehicles. Pretty sure most RAF stations had at least one and there was one at Heathrow when I did a big surveying job there in the late 80s. Awesome bit of kit.
