Kolasin, thanks for response. I suppose I could ask for assistance from those in this thread that have a lot of real world experience with the slinky extra heavy or heavy springs. I have a lot of off road experience. Most years use to average 5000 miles a year off road. Not so much in recent...
Just fyi, I don't think it is tacky at all. I have never understood people getting upset about it. This is what the forums are great for and great place to list it. Looks like a clean cruiser. GLWS
I payed 1500 for my 94 with, lockers 140k miles with a bad head gasket. It ran and drove and sounded fine. I took it to the dealer and had HG fixed. That was over 60k miles ago.
I know cost is always a concern, but bar non the best tire in the 255 is the Toyo M-55. Most forest service trucks in north west run them and a ton of mining trucks in northern Nevada. I have run several on tow rigs and off road rigs without ever having a single issue.
Stock will be fine. They tend to be more forgiving than chromos. I've put my stockers with 37's through a lot without issues. My 85 Toyota runs 39" bias and stock rear axles. I've beat the hell out of them for over 12 years and only broke one in Moab two years ago. Just carry a stock spare...
Thanks all, the clearance to the gate is 2". Should not be a problem. Unless the rock or tree does jump out. Years ago I was backing in very deep snow getting turned around and a tree jumped out caving in the rear gate of a heep I had. My own set up is 1.5" with a 37" tire. I built this set...
Well I have not been on here for a bit. Check in from time to time checking out the great stuff. I built this for a friend of mine and thought I would share to give some guys ideas. He wanted to retain factory look. I used .188 wall 2x2 for the main swing and .120 for the upper frame. 2x4...
Yes I did, thank you. I built the front, rear, sliders, and skids protecting everything that is necessary on the underside. As well as a 23 gallon aux gas tank that sits where the spare was. We spend thousands of miles a year in the desert and it never let's us down. You can view some of my...
Well I haven't posted much for some time. But I am always serching here for great imfo,
37" STT's, OME, 850+3/4" spacer, 864, 4.88s, and a ton of other crap.
I have one Maxxis Bighorn siped 315x75x16 with 17.5/32. They come with 21/32 new. It would make a great spare.
