This is where we left off.LFG!!
I really like the little tires. What size did you go with?I did forget to mention that when he pulled the wheels off to do the TREs, he showed me where the boots of the TREs were basically gone due to the wheels rubbing them when the tires turned. There was a thin spacer but it appeared those Mickey Thompson wheels had ZERO backspacing, which was the issue.
So I took him a set of FJ40 OEM wheels with some mud-terrains that I procured for my Old Blue Eyes FJ40 build a couple months back to use temporarily. They solved the issue but when I picked the rig up yesterday morning (basically driving it for the first time) WOW THOSE TIRES MADE ME ANGRY... EVERYTHING shook... the center console was banging around, my fillings in my teeth did the same... my first stop was at a "surplus" tire store for some FJ40 appropriately-sized A/Ts... I went with some 31" Toyo AT3s and it was a night and day difference... some before and afters...

Those are 31” Toyo ATs but I have some tall skinny 33” Geolander G003s that are going on some 70-series wheels when it gets back to Atlanta… I think the 33s with the H55 and the 10% overdrive gears with the 3FE and 4.11s gonna be a nice setup…I really like the little tires. What size did you go with?
