    Tall and skinny tires

    99 lx470, 1.5 inch lift vs stock, RTT, fridge, awning, drawers, bumpers, front locker I swapped to a 255/85/16 or 33.1x10 at4w (C rated duraspec sidewall) from a 285/75/16 or 32.8x11.2 ridge grappler. I had 45k miles on the ridges and now have around 3k on the at4w. For the record offroad grip...

    How To: Replace your own steering rack

    How far can the rack move side to side and be within spec when parked and turning the wheels, mine is moving about 0.4 inches either way, is it urgent or just normal wearing out bushings?

    Tire report - Yokohama MT G003

    I'm looking at this tire size I'm concerned about the "narrow" tire wearing out extra fast especially because the geolander has such a small tread patch, with a heavy Land Cruiser everybody who buys them and says they are great seems to be running like a 35x12.5 on a Tacoma and of course that's...

    Ironman toy013b Will give a stock 100 series about a 2 inch lift in the rear If your stock but adding a rtt or fridge these will be perfect to help with the weight. I had 450lbs of extra weight (RTT and fridge and tools) and was able to maintain a 1 inch front and 1.5 inch rear lift with...

    Are OME 2864's appropriate for this setup?

    my local shop said springs are not my issue, they will fix my ride height when loaded but the ride issues i described are from the foamcell shocks rather than traditional valved dampers. so im gonna leave it as is for now and just reduce my carried weight as much as possibble (posting for other...

    Springs are complicated, my truck and me are both getting fatter.

    Took all my data to the local toyota offroad shop, said the springs can give me more lift but my issue is the "foamcell" dampers from ironman. The committee (my wife) will not approve me paying for Kings dampers so I will have to live with my super soft and tippy ride for now and just focus on...

    Are OME 2864's appropriate for this setup?

    Hit the scales, looking at 6040lbs (2740kg) for normal driving at 20.5 front and 22.5 rear center of hub to fender. Want to go up to at least 21 and 23. When fully loaded for camping its right below 6500 before I get in Still looks like 2864 are too stiff for me compared to the numbers you...

    Springs are complicated, my truck and me are both getting fatter.
