Those wheels and tyres will hum a bit at speed and make town driving with narrow streets and tight turns fun! A narrow boat would be more manageable!

 

Those wheels and tyres are far bigger than standard ,will change the gearing substantially. They may also put a physical limit on the steering range. In its normal form the steering on one of these is amazingly good, almost equal to a swb. The number of turns of the wheel to get you in supermarket parking spaces is high. If the steering is set up they're actually quite light to turn even at slow speed. But with no power steering somethings gonna bust if you try to turn with no forward movement.

They look a big truck but aren't wide or long in comparison to most four wheel drives on the road. Easier to get in car parks than many other vehicles, and with the height advantage ya can spot empty parking spots from the entrance gates !

Back in early 90's I had a 2B with a tipping body. Great for working in Richmond Park which I did at the time.
