@Toyoland66, currently running 275/70/17 RGs with 2.5" dobinson lift and aftermarket UCAs (forget which tbh), so I can run a bunch of sizes. I had to take the car about 200 miles on my 265/65/17 winter tires (Nokian Hakkapeliitta) and noticed the ride was so much smoother and quieter than with...

It's mostly road noise and I find that they hunt around on the freeway (following grooves etc). I think finding a set of OEM takeoffs is my best bet as you suggest. Thanks

Living in the mountains, there are some offroad trails which I think require dedicated tires such as the ridge grapplers I'm currently running. I've also got a set of snow tires. With my air compressor, I can usually swap a set in around 10 minutes, and I've got plenty of storage, so having 3...

On the other hand, these 265/70/17's might not provide the best cornering on the mountain, but guessing would be way better on the freeway.

Agreed on 50 sidewalls being too thin. Those are exactly the rims I'm looking at right now, actually. Would pair with 275/55/20 Michelin LTX M/S2, which some guy in another forum said were whisper quiet and very smooth on the freeway. I've got a 2.5" lift going on plus BMC so don't anticipate...

Not a bad idea. Unfortunately I need the room for family, including a kid seat in the back.

I'm currently running Nitto ridge grapplers with 17" TRD wheels. While they're great offroad / in the mountains, they aren't the best for 4 hour road trips. Can anyone recommend a good wheel / tire combo that would maintain a similar overall diameter, yet be suited for longer trips that have no...

Edit: Took carpet out, fits perfectly. Quick question for the 470 guys who have installed their drawers: Does the rear carpet come out completely for this? The instructions are a bit confusing. Thanks!

Nice racks!!!

Outstanding, thanks!

Any chance I could get a drawer system for the GX470 at group buy price?

Wow, yeah. Massive difference between yours and mine... I think you nailed it. I may do upper and lower assuming both are running on the original bushings - it's only a matter of time, especially if replacing lowers puts more strain on the upper bushings. Great reply, thank you. Ha! Was a...

Thanks! Will look at those.

Oh cool, so they're all the same?

Thanks, any suggestions for occasional offroading / mostly on-road use?
