I talked to battle born and gatekeeper wheels and probably won’t work for me. It’s a daily driver and not DOT rated. They are really nice though.

Does anyone know if anyone makes a 17 x 9 steel wheel like the steel ones that Toyota makes. I want to run 37’s but can’t due to the stock width.

I have 35’s and 5.29s. I daily drive my ride and go 65. It’s very comfortable between 60-65.

Does anyone make a replica of the fj cruiser steelie in a 17 x 9 so I can run 37s?

Thx for the quick reply. Ideally I need to remove and repair or seal the old holes somehow. Does anyone have pics of fixing the old rack holes or how they sealed them up?

So this is quite the long thread and I looked through it briefly. I am interested in getting one of these racks. My question is I have the stock rack on currently on my 95. Is it possible to leave old rack on? I’m afraid to see what’s underneath!!!

I can’t take all the credit for the find. Another mudder @sethzilla helped out. He came over and was perplexed as I until he made a call and we were pointed in the right direction.

Loose wheel weight on inside of rim was he culprit.

Left side and right side. So it looks like the axle seal is leaking on left. Nothing on the right in second pic. What would cause the tick in this wheel hub assembly. If a bearing was shot would it not be a whirring sound?

No engine sounds fine when revved.

Yes they are in good shape. That was the first thing I suspected. When I was testing with a driveshaft removed I degreased both of them and replaced one u joint. Problem still remained

It does it regardless of brake or accel. As long as I’m above 50 mph. Brake shields are clear of debris. Have not inspected the exhaust. Checked the wheel by lifting off ground and shaking. No play. Brakes appear to be in good working order. Below is video with window rolled up.

1995 80 series. Yes the video is worthless. The audio is what I was trying to provide. So no the video isn’t worthless. Thanks for your reply. . It just began. No recent work done

So while driving at about anything above 50 a ticking sound appears like it’s coming from the front of the cruiser. It’s not the u joints because I have removed each driveshaft and then tested and it’s still there. The tick speeds up the faster I go. Any ideas or similar experience? I have a...
