This happens to me in the cold weather when I first start up. I've asked my mechanic about it and he hasn't seen any issues with the locker or low range gearbox. If I can remember to go through all the off-road functions 1-2 a month, it helps a ton. I wish we had the manual transfer case shifter.

Had to swap the 6spd FJ for an Odyssey...

do the front mud flaps fit with 285/75/17 tires?

That's very similar to what I've been able to surmise from the forums. What perch did you set them at? I know i had Bilteins on my Fj Cruiser and I went to a lower perch which helped with the ride stiffness over road imperfections. Also, I have 285/75/17 tires, so it'd be helpful to compare...

Yeah, the IMS was my first inclination, but I'm wondering if I'd be spending more than I'd need. Do you ride the Bilsteins yourself?

Question. I've been on OME nitrochargers 2.5-3" for some time and I'll probably need to replace them pretty soon. My question is whether there is a more comfortable twin-tube kit out there for on-road feels. I don't do any serious off-roading, so I'm not really looking into any special kits...

Yep, just seeing that it doesn't come in C. Prob just gonna go with some 285/75 toyo AT3s. Do you have any pics with the 285/70s on with the lift?

Those look great. I was thinking of sizing down to 285/70 from 285/75s, but this looks like the perfect in-between size. Are those C or E rated?

I haven’t been able to find much on how 200 series owners like the dobinsons base twin tube suspension. I’m currently riding on OME nitro chargers 2.5” and I drive 95% around town/highways. I find them pretty harsh for handling bumps. I was looking at the dobinsons IMS lift as it gets great...

Interesting. Discount Tire has them at 43lbs. Does that sound right?

it's more of road-manners thing. A slightly smaller and lighter tire that doesn't end up looking too scrawny with a lift would probably feel a little more nimble on highway and around town, not to mention the minimal bump in mpgs. What size lift do you have?

i'm currently in a 285/75/17 tire and looking to potentially switch into 285/70/17s. I agree, I think the 285/70 would be perfect for my uses (mostly daily driver).

Looking to downsize to 285/70r17, from a 285/75 tire, but I'm worried it might look weird with my 2.5-3" lift. Does anyone have any pictures of a 2.5+ inch lift with 285/70 tires? I'd like to know if the smaller tire will look too scrawny while I look into a smaller lift. thanks!

where exactly is this knock sensor located? and would the location be different for a 2015? tx

Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this lose attachment point on the front passenger-side bumper? I’ve already replaced the support bracket piece, but it still doesn’t want to stick.
