Ya, I ended up getting a pair of 1a towers from a MUD member... looking to get a second pair because I like having unnecessary %^#& on my roof (and I like the look)... guessing I'll need 58" bars at a minimum, still looking to find some "gently"...
Looking for 4-5 x 70-series steel wheels 16x7 stickers. I know they’re available new from Toyota but seeing if anyone local-ish has some in their garage that they’re not gonna be using!
Matt is correct. The flanges need to be swapped. I bet the way it sits, you can not rotate the front output …… hopefully the dust shield is still good. You’ll want to install new stake nuts as well.
Ya I’m just hoping someone in the Southeast is just tired of their setup or maybe purchased some 70-series wheels and isn’t gonna use them or whatever. They’re not gonna hurt near as much as tires @ $150/piece new but never hurts to save a dime 🤷🏾♂️
I think a big part of why modern trucks and SUVs use bigger wheels is due to rotor and caliper size. They want a high GVWR and tow ratings…so they need big ass brakes.
Actually read most of your build thread today… as far as road noise since my intended use is mostly road… how do the Yokohama geolander mt g006 or whatever they are fare on the road? Much drone? I’m used to bfg A/ATs in terms of reference…
I don't believe 15" will fit on your FJ80, but I could be wrong. I'd go with 16". Actually I just did, the Geolandar 255/85/16 tires are waiting at the shop for the paint on my new 16" 70 series rims to harden up.
There are a lot more tire options in 33" for 16" wheels than there are for 15" wheels. I'd go 16" for that reason alone. Also allows you to do a larger brake upgrade down the road if you wanted. No real downside other than losing the original...
I’ll put wheel size into perspective using the newest Land Cruiser LC 300 as an example (which isn’t available in North America).
The only wheels that Toyota has available for their most off-road capable model (The GR-S) is 18 inches on the small...
1989 FJ62…
The plans are 2.5 OME lift and H55 5-speed. I’m having a heck of a time deciding on wheel/tire setup. I know that the ideal tire size is 33x10.5x15 or 285/75/16 but I can’t for the life of me decide on which size wheel to help make...
This is my Thule roof rack. I love it, it’s gutter mounted, the PO put it on. The only problem with it, is it will grab tree branches and gets in the way with the shrubbery when off-roading. The only other thing that is lame is that you can only...
Great info and thank you. What part of Alabama are you in @Godwin ? Because I feel like most threads I surf through have at least 1-2 replies by you… you obv know your stuff 🤣 and I’m just across the border in Atlanta… and I grew up in Anniston…
Yakima 1A gutter clamps and crossbars either L 66" or XL 78" will work well. You only need a pair of crossbars, adding more is unnecessary overkill. I've used the Yakima racks for decades and just under a gajillion miles on 40, 60s, and 80...
Hey All 👋
We had 4 sets today when I updated the website. I’m working for Torfab and will be trying to keep the shop better stocked. We have a bunch sitting with the powder coater that from my first interaction will need a weekly reminder to get...
