Oh, it sucks! I have new OEM shocks and every damn crack in the road feels like a pothole. Actually, it takes potholes better!! Problem is, I got new tires the same time I got the shocks. I was ready for a smooth ride, but didn't realize putting that stiff of a tire would make it suck so bad!!

Truly good to know! So......just measured.....I'm at 20" from the center of my wheel hub to the wheel well. Looks like I need some new coils!

Wish I would have read this thread before I bought my E load tires. I do 95% driving on pavement, but wanted the E load for "just in case". And, to be honest, to look cool when I pick my kids up from school. Just had to put 33's on it, didn't I! To sum it up-- E load tires make for a harsh...

I'll play........ Some type of pole...electrical, light, pylon on the passenger side. Did an endo and rolled to the driver's side. Also, glad you're ok!

Looking good! Can I assume the plate that the fork mount in attached to isn't permanent?

I'm dumb! I hadn't gone back and read in a while. Thanks for the heads up!!

Thanks! Not too bad for stock other than a TB twist and tires. I have some actual LC wheels that I'm going to blast and paint for the future and am also thinking of doing a rear bumper kit. After that, it will be fit enough to drive to work and pick the kids up from school!!

Oh, I have pics........... Threw my 4Runner in there for fun. Same tires, but in the stock size of 265/70r17 I believe. Showing those as it made a completely stock Runner look a little better. FYI, my LC has E Load rating ATX’s and they run a bit stiff when aired up on the street. The lower...

Has anyone rigged their rig where you can put a MTB in the back with the seat down? Sort of like how it would sit on a roof rack with the front tire removed and mounted to a Kuat Dirtbag or something of the like? I have a Kuat NV, but I ride solo 99% of the time and it would be nice to just...

I can only attest to the 285/75 ATX's......... They rub, but not on the CA....I think. Full crank into a right incline turn is when it happens. Barely does it on a left turn. They are friggin awesome by the way! My favorite tire by a long shot!

I made my LC act like a Tundra for a bit. :)

What I did was drive it in what my reasoning was for buying such a rig!! I don’t get snow days, so capability and reliability are a must. 6am on New Year’s day was a fine time for almost and inch of freezing rain topped by 5” of snow later that day!! Not crazy by KC’s standard, but enough to...

Basically.......sub 150k miles and north of 2003 model year from a southern state.......yes, you'll pay out the nose! 200k miles +, maybe been wrecked a time or two, some undercarriage rust because it cruised Midwest streets for 20 years.....should be able to get for less than $10k...

I think it's all relative...... How much is he asking? $2-$3k (US), not so bad. Any more than that and I'd probably keep looking. Rust isn't something that scares this midwestern American, but that's some pretty healthy rust in those pics. May not be any holes.....yet. That is some pretty...
