Yes, correct. These are Yokohama G003 255/85R16’s. It’s a great tire on this truck for east coast roots, rocks and goo. They are a little lacking on high angle rocks like Slickrock in Moab but I got through just fine.

I’ve had the 75 at 30deg pitch up and down and 26deg roll left and right with zero issues as a frame of reference but agree the sniper eliminates any fuelling issues.

What’s the motivation for the Sniper?

Haha, yea, had some interesting slides on the 75 too with the weight bias topic. Plus, we had to offer assistance and put get this Jeep off its lid and onto 4 tires. I swear I’ve only used my winch to rescue others… good karma for me :)

I use Ourisman Toyota dealer here on the east coast for some items but mostly I just use my local dealer who are great. Since you are in the Bay Area, I’d start with your local Toyota dealership and go from there. I know folks have mixed experience with dealers so YMMV.

Yes, given the aggressive tread, this will lull you into pushing a bit more off road which isn’t a bad thing. Regarding the load range, we even see the lower load ranges getting shipped on 4Runners, Land Cruisers etc. as they did on the 60 series. My speculation is that this is to improve gas...

I installed these myself and got them from this company, website listed below: https://www.retrosoundusa.com.au/index.php?l=product_list&c=1214

I got these installed recently. Like the smaller size and colorway:

I wouldn’t be concerned with the visual condensation in the exhaust either but I would be concerned with the exhaust outlet placement underneath the vehicle. One always wants exhaust exits to come out of the side or rear of the vehicle to avoid exhaust gases in the cabin.

Yes, agreed!

FYI, on an unrelated note I would think through and incorporate some anti theft/tracking for your 60. There are some good threads on here covering this topic which I would encourage you to read and implement as you see fit.

This^^. Plus as others have said, now it’s getting cool you will see white smoke at startup. Since you did the rear heat delete, I would recommend retightening any coolant hose clamps after a couple of engine heat cycles. These engines also take quite a bit of effort to bleed all the air out...

As others have said, install sans rtv. The Toyota gaskets of this style are designed for a dry application. 1FZ-F is a great engine, I have one in my 75 and love it.

Here are a couple thoughts on these tires regarding the specs that jump out: 1. Load range B would be concerning given the weight of a 60. 2. Depending on the terrain you encounter, you could have more sidewall failures. What terrain do you plan on running? I know that when I was in Moab the...

FYI @cruisermatt can fabricate lines for you to work with your different condenser. He made a set for my 60 as at some point in its life, the condenser was replaced with a non OEM unit. My new lines have worked flawlessly since install.
